Straight to the point clear instructions and demonstration all under two and a half minutes
Distilled water (2 ½ cup mark)
Vegetable glycerin (3 cup mark)
Stir until combined
Done.
Awesome! I waited until the last minute to go purchase fog solution only to find out that all of the stores in my little town are out of it. I used this recipe and it works great! Thank you!
Made it today. Worked beautifully. Thank you!
So AWESOME!! Thank you!! Clear & to the POINT! Unlike other Ytube channels that talk way too much & the main info is about 2-3mins!! Totaling to 10-30 min(s) videos!! :(
Dude I thought you were Nathan Fielder and this was a skit. LOL. Still found it helpful and exactly what I d so thanks!
Fade to white. Nice touch
Thanks Jeffry, I'm amazed it is that simple.
I didn't know it was that simple I appreciate it Thanks
I prefer to make my own because the ones you buy are too thick and I don't want actual fog just a mist so I make mine 15% ratio and it gives me the perfect mist Which I don't even have to distribute around i just keep the machine on all day long
is is safe to adds something like Benzalkonium chloride 0.75% or hydrogen peroxide 3%?
for disinfectant purposes
Can you mix essential oils into it to make it smell nice?
Yeah also you can
Ive watched several videos that claim that any other ingredients than vegetable glycerin and distilled water may clog the machine and cause a lot of damage. I'm no expert but I'd do more research just to make sure it doesn't clog my machine up. Just sayin'.
Clever outro! 👍
This is great! Thank you, Jeffry.
hii jeffry
have you any alternate option to make fog machine liquid ?
Hello what's the thickest ratio a 2000w fog machine can take extra heavy density fluid seems to go through fine so wondering would 60vg/40pg be sound
American DJ F-Scents Tropical Fog Juice Scent 🤔
can you add some alcohol to that so that its good in cleaning ?
I get the amount of glycerin affects the density... But how do you make long lasting fog that lingers for longer? They sell long lasting fog juice. I need it to stick around since I'm filming video.
A whole year without a answer 😭
😂
@@thegooserider7245 propylene glycol is the third ingredient used to increase 'hang time' in the atmosphere. too much of it will irritate your lungs tho. And the big manufacturers of long lasting water-based fog/haze fluid all use it, but they guard the ratios they use like a trade secret.
Propelene glycol
Hello, will it work in automotive smoke machines?
😂
cool , thank you man , thanks for sharing
is it ok to use water or 70%alcohol if i dont have the solution?
Cheers bro!
Have you tried using Propylene Glycol? I know its an ingredient in some fog juices, but I'm not sure what it does.
mickeythepuppy I haven’t tried it. I looked into Propylene Glycol and can’t figure out exactly what it does either. I’m thinking it acts as a preservative but I’m not 100% sure. I did see that it has some amount of toxicity to humans I figure the fog fluid seems to work so well without it why introduce something that could be harmful.
@@Viera95 Both Propylene Glycol and Vegetable Glycerin are ingredients that produce "fog". They are also used as the base for electronic cigarettes/vape e-liquid (with added flavoring and nicotine) which can either be mixed together at the desired ratio or on their own depending on the users preferences.
Propylene Glycol tends to produce more of that harsh feeling in your throat that people are accustomed to when smoking tobacco, whereas vegetable glycerin is far more effective at making thick clouds of "vapor" that doesn't disappear immediately in your lungs leaving you nothing to exhale after taking a puff.
So I think you are probably right that for the purposes of making fog juice it's probably not necessary to include propylene glycol in the mix. It may not last as long but it'll probably be nicer to your lungs.
@@Viera95 it increases hang time
Is this considered oil based?
The machine i bought says use oil based.
I think this would be water based since water is the main ingredient. Not 100% sure though. My machine takes water based.
No. Oil-based haze fluid has a base of mineral oil and the haze machines don’t have a heating element. Do not put water based fluid in an oil-based hazer or vice-versa.
Thanks!
Can u give me some ratio between the distilled and glycol? For most recommended.
1 liter of Distilled Water = ?? Vegetable Glycerine
AcriXia Celestia 30% glycerine to 70 water is for thick fog and 15% glycerine to 85 water is for normal .
Can I use ethyl alcohol instead of distilled water?
Why do you need to add water?
How is the vegetable glycerin in the video $95 on Amazon? I hope my local stores carry it
@@ZawieszenieBroni This one is $24 on amazon now. a.co/d/0hffHQam
I just checked Amazon as well and my jaw dropped. Thinking....cheaper to buy? Also I have a bottle from spirit....not low lying can i add the glycerin to premixed to make it low lying?
@@anotheronechance you could definitely add vegetable glycerin to the premade fog fluid to make it stronger for low lying. All though I don’t see why you would need to when you could just make your own with the distilled water and glycerin.
can you use regular water and glycerin?
Freddie that Halloween and Christmas guy no regular water will clog up the fog machine. Distilled water is super cheap, it’s definitely worth getting. better then buying a new fog machine.
Do you think it is safe to add sodium hypochlorite and some water based scent to disinfect the room? Will it damage the machine?
That's absolutely ridiculous. Don't even try it.
Thank you for teaching me how to make unlimited gas for my fart blaster 😈😈😈
Does the Vegetable glycerin have to be pharmaceutical grade?
No I don’t think it makes a difference.
Would that be okay if you'll add more glycerin?
Yes
can we use spring water instead of distilled water
No. Spring water has natural minerals which will clog the machine.
Can u suse mineral oil
What if we want to make haze instead of fog? Is the ratio different?
I would use a much lighter ratio for a haze machine. This recipe will only work with water based haze or “faze” machines. It will not work with oil based no heat haze machines.
@@Viera95 we're looking at a water-based just like the water-based fog machine we have. Thanks!
Do you have any recipe for house sanitation (vinegar, clorox, soap, etc.). can you tell me your fog machine model? thanks :)
bernisemg yes I have two new videos about making home made bar soap you might like. Just check out my channel page. Fog machine in the video is a chauvet hurricane 1200.
Any brand of the vegetable glycerin?
Here’s the one I used a.co/d/4VoAwu6
But yes any should work fine.
Can I use ethyl alcohol instead of distilled water?
Arjay Lee bautista I haven’t tried that myself so I don’t know. I wouldn’t think it would be nice to breathe though.
@@Viera95 You would get drunk pretty quick. Just make sure that its not the industrial type. Those have trace amounts or more of Methanol mixed into them, which can cause serious damage if ingested.
distilled water
is it possible to add essential oils to make the fog-pleasing fragrance?
No
Can we use reverse osmosis water?
I'm sure it'll be alright. The main reason for distilled water is that there is no minerals to clog the pipes.
Can I use my machine to get rid of mosquitos
I’ve never tried it myself but the yard foggers for mosquitoes look like they work the exact same way as the fog machines for special effects/parties. So I think it would totally work. I just wouldn’t use the fog machine for anything else afterwards just incase the insecticide leaves residue inside the Machine.
new sub
2.5 cups and 0.5 cups is a 5 to 1 ratio (about 17% glycerin); 20% is a 4 to 1 ratio.
For the 3 cups total, a 20% glycerin mixture would use 0.6 cups glycerin (and 2.4 cups water), not 0.5.
For a 20% mix, maybe 2 cups water and 0.5 cups glycerin (total 2.5 cups), or perhaps a "large" batch using 800ml water to 200ml glycerin (1 liter total) would be easier.
Using milliliters (ml) could also make it easier if one wanted to experiment with different ratios to make a 1 liter batch, such as 85% (850ml) and 15% (150ml).
Hello,please can I add a colour used in baking to this mixture to make my smoke colour?
Tazz Brills sorry I don’t know of any way to make color fog. You can change the color of the liquid with food coloring but it won’t change the color of the fog.
Use lighting
Need to use this for disinfecting rooms. Will it work with a salt water solution mix?
No, salt dissolved in the fluid will stick to the inside of the heater and clog the machine. They do make fog fluid with pesticides in it for mosquito control but I’ve never seen anything for disinfecting.
@@Viera95 Thank you. Right now there's the handheld type fogging machines. I'll find another way. Great video! Will try this with the kid! :)
You can use 30mL of peracetic acid at 15% in one liter of this solution
Can i use any glycerin besides veg glycerin
What’s with the snuff-film music
How much did your fog machine cost and what do you use it for?
The machine in the videos was about $100 when I bought it 6 years ago. A fog machine puts a haze in the air allowing you to see light or laser beams. Usually used for enhancing lighting effects for live theater, concerts, raves, dj events and even Halloween displays.
@@Viera95 Hi guy. This fluid will be good for low fog machine or i have to add something more ?
Dig the music, too. lolol
hey Jeff can we add lysol concentrate fluid for disinfection as well?
Humm I’ve never tried that so unfortunately I can’t say anything definitive.
Big red flag once he said something like that lol jk amazing BTW
the link you provided has the glycerin priced at $22.87
Jeannette Kole that’s because of the size of the bottle. As you need much less of glycerin than distilled water, just get a smaller glycerin bottle
When I look up vegetable glycerin it's $30 a gallon
I got the $6 price because you can make one gallon of fog fluid with only about 3 cups of that $30 glycerin bottle or about $6 of glycerin.
That full 30 dollar bottle of glycerin can make like 5 gallons of fog fluid.
Alright there you have it. 😂
It actually needs to be deionized water, distilled water is not pure enough. It will cause clogs
what about disinfectant?
Nathan Fielder but tan!!
😂
Is it non-toxic?
its toxik or no?
It is non toxic, safe to inhale.
can we use normal water instead of distilled water?
FILM REGION Tv No. normal water has minerals and other stuff dissolved in it and will clog your fog machine. It might work for a short time but it will damage / break the machine quickly.
@@Viera95 okey thanks , bro.
@@Viera95 Could you use something like Aquafina instead of distilled water? I'm sure distilled water is available here, but I'm in a foriegn country and I'm not quite sure how to find it. Aquafina however is readily available. Also can you add an essential oil to give the fog a nice scent?
drop there 3-5 drop eteric oli withh flavor...its smell nice
***BE AWARE*** There are other fog fluid formulations that are not glycerin based, but are water based using propylene glycol. Use of the wrong materials and mixtures will likely result in a gummed up mess or worse. User beware and stay on top of your cleaning until a suitable mixture is found/formulated.
45$!!
Koór Dominik you can buy a much smaller size bottle if you want. you only need very little per batch of fog fluid.
Oh....
Bro I appreciate you sharing for DIYers, but only reason we DIY to pay less. Sorry dude- Gallon glycerin is $86!, Amazon has “fog juice” gallon for $28; thanks anyways…
Edit: here’s a gallon of glycerin for $24 a.co/d/idcmgqF
Original reply:
I made this video 5 years ago so prices have changed quite a bit since.
That being said you can make a lot of fog fluid from a gallon of glycerin since it only takes about 2.4 cups of glycerin to make 1 gallon of fog fluid.
You can make 6.6 gallons of fog juice for your $86 dollars that’s only $13 per gallon of fog fluid so you would still be saving money.
Don’t forget you don’t have to buy an entire gallon of glycerin at a time.
Hope this helps thanks for watching.
