Good info, very thourough well explained and presented. Thank you for creating this video. So much good information especially the tubing replacement, fluid care and different types of machines. I've saved it for future needs. Well done.
The 400w fogger @08:00 looks like it puts out just as well as the 700w @08:50...so why do you like the 700w over the 400?...the 1200w is the only one that looks to make a substantial difference.
Easy to make fog juice using 1/3 Vegetable Glycerin and 2/3 Distilled water for thick fog. 1/4 Vegetable Glycerin to 3/4 Distilled water for less dense fog. Not to self, do Not put dry ice into fog chiller the day previous because it clogs the PVC pipes with frost causing the fog to back up and over heat/melt the PVC running from the fog machine to the cooler. Thanks for the video.
That depends on how much fog you plan to pass through the pipe in a given amount of time. Plastic doesn't conduct heat well, so the bottles need time to make the air in the tube cool. That cooled air mixing with the fog is what gives you most of the cooling effect in these. Put a thermometer on the output and hit the fog volume hard, see if the chilled fog starts coming out less cooled.
First off, thank you! Amazing video and tons of useful information. I have a question. When you first move outside at the 39:00 mark, is that a fan on the other branch of the Y-pipe? I use a chiller then a run of PVC with outlets every few feet to spread fog out through my yard displays. I've thought about adding a fan between the chiller and the distribution network. Have you any experience with that?
Yes it is a fan. Often not required, and can cause the fog to come out too fast if not careful (turbulence causes the fog to mix w/ air). It's shown here as a tip to help get the fog to move through longer tubes. Glad you found the video useful, and thanks for the question.
@@BobbyDotNet my thoughts as well. Fan will help move fog through longer tubes, but there is such a thing as too much fan. Right now I'm contemplating hooking a relay up to the fog timer so it only triggers the fan when the fog pump is active. Even better would be to run that through an Arduino and have a delay. Wait a second after the fog starts coming out to start the fan. Then, after the fog machine cycles off, run the fan for a second or two to fully evacuate the distribution tubes. And my wife says I over engineer things. Thank you for the response.

Great Video...thanks for all your effort to produce this creation
Great video. Up your video quality by doing your narration seperate away from outside background noise.
If there is something more you would like me to cover, please leave a comment here.
Another cool trick is to put frozen water bottles inside those black drainage pipes to help chill the fog even more!

Would adding dry ice help with making it colder
I wonder if a variable output controller would work on any other pumps
I think you could control the pump speed reasonably well. Might want to also setup a circuit to keep the block heater powered so it continues to heat.

@@joelporter1919 another good trick is to stick frozen water bottles throughout your tube to help chill the fog even more!
Great video on demoing
Oh dear me@I P freely bird doo
I would like to 👀 2 juice 😋 pumps on the 1700/1400 watt monster 😁😁
