Smoke machine I use amzn.to/2OL22FT
I will show you how to make your own homemade fog juice for a fog machine. All it takes is Glycerin that you can get at any drug store or Walmart and distilled water. I calculated wrong in the video, the instructions actually make a 20% solution, but it works great as it is, if you want to make it 25% reduce the water down to 18Ozs. If you make the 25% let me know if it works better!!
Check out my other video that shows how to make a fog chiller to keep your fog low to the ground, • Homemade Fog Chiller. ...

What brand fogger is that and where did you purchase it
I will check and get back with you, have to look at it
here is a link on amazon, this the newer version of the ones I have amzn.to/2OL22FT
6oz كم
6 oz of glycerin and 24 oz of water gives 20% (6/30 = 1/5 = 20%)
Thank you for the video. It truly helped me. Please note (and maybe this makes for the result to be slightly thicker fog), if you're goal is a 25% solution of Glycerin, the ratio used in the video is wrong. The total volume of the solution made in this example is 30 fl oz. Therefore, the solution created in this video was a 20% mixture. A 25% mixture of glycerin in this example would have required 6 oz glycerin to 18 oz water (24 total oz) or 8 oz of glycerin to 24 oz water (32 total oz).
To solve for the amount of water to use to reach your desired dilution: (volume glycerin / desired solution strength) - volume glycerin. Example: (6oz / .25) - 6oz = 24 - 6 = 18.
OR to make it really simple, if you want a 25% solution, that is simply 3 parts to 1 part mixture, so 6 oz glycerin * 3 = 18 oz water (resulting in a total volume of 24 oz). Simply: Amount of Glycerin * 3 to know the amount of water to add if you want a 25% mixture.
Thanks for confirming that I'm not crazy. I've seen several sites follow this guy's recipe and say it is 25% and I keep thinking that makes no sense. Twenty-five percent would equal a 1/4 part composed of glycerine.

Unfortunately, it's very common for tutors to copy each other's videos, including their mistakes. I see this ALL THE TIME with guitar lessons. You can get six of the top RUclips guitar tutors all teaching a part with the same mistake in it.
I came to the comments to see if anyone had already commented on the math being wrong. I'm not great at math, but I immediately recognized it.
I just made some. I used a 3 to 1 mixture. 8oz glycerin to 24oz distilled water. If you buy a gallon of distilled water and make this, you can technically then fill the remainder of the gallon with glycerine and have the same 25% mixture. Oh yea. I tested it out indoors and with 3 30 second shots the room has been filled with fog for over a half hour.
Okay, who are the 60 people that thumbs downed this video!!:?? Good work sir - exactly what I was looking for. Can't buy fog juice around here when it isn't Halloween, so this will do just fine. Cheers from Canada!
Thank You!!
BIG "Fog" hates him.
good thing youtube took that away.
Just made some, works great. Saved me a ton on fog juice from the local Spirit. Thank you so much!
I was gonna give this a try, so it really works just as well as store stuff?
"You want a 15 to 35 percent glycerin mixture. The more glycerin you add, the denser the fog will be, but don't overdo it, or you might not get any fog at all." --From a science nerd site.
Also, any water works but the the minerals in tap water will build up and clog machine.
Mate there's videos were they pack loads of glycerine in it just produces immensely dense fog mate trust
Can you use regular propylene glycol?
@@tanarichards2325 Isn't that Anti-Freeze which is extremely toxic?
@@tanarichards2325 I just researched-- P.G. is safe in small amounts, I dunno about huffing tons of it on a dance floor though. (btw, ethelyne glycol is anti-freeze which is toxic)
You can always distill and filter your tap water to clean it up.
I really appreciate you having how many actual "ounces" to use printed out on that paper instead of percentages thanks!!!
Glad it helped Able!
The numbers are wrong though. Most say 30% so if you wanted to make 1 Gallon of the mix at 30% glycerin it would be 128oz * .30 = 38.4 Oz of gylcerin or we can just round it down and say 38oz of Glycerin which is 4 3/4 cups of glycerin added to 128oz * .70 = 90 oz (rounded up) of distilled water. So a good formula is 90oz (which is 3 quarts minus one 3/4 cup) and 38oz of glycerin (4 and 3/4 Cups) . I didn't go to college but I paid attention to my free public schooling in years K-12.
thanks again, cuz my fog juice had lost and I had look at ur video and tried it which I got great results , works wonderful
Nice. I like that . 1 ounce glycerin to every 4 ounces of water. This is saved me so much effort. I got a gallon of glycerin for makeing vapes. Thanks man
I saw another person make 25% too like urs. But he used. 2 Cups of distilled Water and 1/2 cup of vegetable glycerin. Now I’m confused on which measurement is correct. But followed ur instructions and used 24oz distilled water and 6 oz of negative glycerin. Ima see how it comes out now. Wish me luck♥️
Did it work okay?
That is 20% but still a great video!
Yup....30 oz total / 6 = 20%
Came to say this.
6 is 25% of 24.
6+24=30
6=20% of 30.
Math
@@brandonfurman3772 i think i have been using to much cut in my cocaine. damn i hat math
@@TheWormzerjr And english!
Thank you! I made mine today soo ready for my next party!!
Good, Have fun with it!
If glicerin amount is 6 and 25% from total then water should be 18
Actually 25% glycerin of 24oz of water is 6
squid90 25% of total solution would be either 8 oz to 24 oz water (32 oz total) or for the 30 oz total he’s mixing, it would be 7.5 oz glycerin to 22.5 oz water.
@@squid90 Please learn math!!! If I said I am going to give you 25% of a dollar and then gave you 18.75 Cents (we will round it up to 19 cents) is that 25% of a dollar????? NOOOO it's 25% of 75 cents after I removed 25 cents. None of these RUclipsrs can do basic math an chemistry. At least learn how to write a formula. Ohhhhh if you want to do it easily it is basic 8th grade Algebra.... X * 0.25 = 6 Solve for X that would be the TOTAL AMOUNT of solution. X = 6/.25 X = 24 Another way of looking at this simple equation is $1.00 * .25% = 25 Cents Sooooo if I gave you a quarter and said that is 25% of a dollar that would be true right??? Here you are saying 1 dollar and then add 25% which is a quarter = $1.25 25% is a quarter..... ughhhhh no now it is 20%
@@trentherbert8879 - Actually, it would be even more logical to just say 4 to 1. Screw percentages.
Great information. My only reason for still deciding to buy store fog is the amount of produce gal. ($7-$9) vs. cost of homemade mixer.
Same. I'd rather go for an extra $1-$3 to know I don't mess anything up
Inflation sucks. I’m seeing it all for $30 a gallon out of season.
rinse out the empty glycerin bottle with some of the water to make sure you got it all.
Good Idea, Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks for the cool idea.
Your welcome
Dumb question but when you tested it did the fog machine on the right have any residual fog juice leftover from the last run? Just wanted to make sure we were actually seeing the home mixed fog not just the leftover juice in the tube
Nice job I used the same things literally same brands cool
Thank you ! Made my own today. We are ready for Halloween !
Thanks Danielle, glad your good to go
Something's wrong. If you add 6 oz of glycerin and 24 oz of water, your solution will be 20% glycerin, not 25%. In order for your solution to be 25% glycerin, you need to add only three (not four) parts of water per part of glycerin.
You are exactly right, I calculated the percentage using the water only, not the total fluid! Thanks for pointing that out and I edited the video!!
Quit Correcting people.
Hey can you help me? I have 240ml glycerin, how much water do I need? Badly need your reply asap😔 thanks
doublereno Is distilled water that you used same with distilled drinking water? Need your reply asap😔 thanks
I hated you
This is going to save me a lot of money thank you sir !
Good comparison and Homemade mix looks better than the store bought....
Good Video ... Peace
Thanks for this brother! The stores scam 20 bux a gallon for this crap that can be made @ 10 bux for 2 gallons!
No doubt, Your Welcome
All about saving the $. Thanks! Hpw long did that bottle last? Like for the night?
can you add some antibacterial liquid in that?
Yes e cig fans we have been doing this for years before you added flavor
Less than 20 years but yeah
Thanks, this worked out great!!!
I'm glad I found your video! Halloween night is upon us and no one has the fog juice!
I'll be making it, thanks to your video!
I am trying to do the math here: 1 gallon of store bought fogger juice is around $19.00. Your Glycerin is $4.00 for 6 oz, which you mix with distilled water to get 30 oz. So if I skip the distilled water cost, the home made version is $4.00 for 30 oz. 1 gallon is 128 oz., divided by 30 oz., that means I get 4.266 batches for $4.00 per batch to be equivalent to store bought. So 4.266 x $4.00 is $17.06. Slightly cheaper, but not much, than store bought at $19.00. I was looking at the video to save money, but not sure you are much / worth it. I do think it is a great video, I am just making sure I am not missing something on the math.
You are probably correct with your math, If you are making large amounts, you can get the Glycerin down to just over a dollar per 6 ozs by buying a gallon on amazon, has prime shipping too. amzn.to/2LAaqFG
6 oz is 25% of 24oz , but if you pour all of 24oz plus 6oz glycerin, the mixture is only 20/80
Am I missing something here? A gallon is 128 oz, you would need 27oz (4.5 bottles of glycerin) to make a full gallon of 20% fog juice. The glycerin is almost $10 a bottle, so you would be looking at a $46 dollar bottle of fog juice (including the gallon of distilled water for 99 cents). Even the most premium fog fluids are less than that.
Glycerin is $4 a bottle and you can order a gallon of glycerin on Amazon for $30 which will make 4 gallons of fog juice compared to $100 for 4 gallons of store bought fog juice
would it be ok to use RO (Filtered) Water instead of Distilled Water? My RO gets my water all the way down to less than 20ppm Sometimes even less than 10ppm. Seems the reason to use the "Distilled" Water is to keep minerals and contaminants from clogging up the machine and with as little as 20 parts per million dissolved solids > It seems to me that it would be fine. ??? Can anyone tell me why this shouldn't be done or if it is just fine?
should be fine, you are right for the reason for the distilled water
Just wondering how long the fog Juice goes for when you load.up the tank? First time user heheh
Same here
I'm wondering the same thing too. Need it for a post-Halloween event in a few days.
there's a negative effect on this smoke when you inhale it, before I used this experiment i have no problem on breathing but after I test this and use it regularly on my personal occasions and gigs, I have problem breathing and sometimes, headache, palpitation. Ever since I stopped using this my breath feels normal again
reyzuna It's not a vape, it's a fog machine, genius. Don't stand in front of it.
2022 prices @ Walmart ... distilled water 1 gallon $1.25 ... 6 oz glycerin $5
If you haven't left over and saved it did it mold
Do you think it is safe to put disinfectant or some water based scent to the fogging solution?
Warm the glycerin in hot water to make it easier to decant maybe?
Any ideas in regards to what ingredient could be adjusted (or added) with this mix in order to make the fog juice have a long hang time (an hour or more)???
You want to cool the fog down to get it to sit on the ground. There are a few tutorials on YT that show off Fog Chillers. Basically pumping your fog through an ice chamber, then letting it out to crawl on the ground.
24 oz.Glycerin plus 6 oz. Water is 20% not 25%
I am a lab instrumentation engineer so I had to speak up
I know, I realized this later after video was published, Sorry!
What ratio would you recommend for a minions 4 ultimate 6x AAA fart gun? It is a vegetable glycerin fluid.
Worked great! Thank you
thanks worked great and taste great too😊!!!
Cool! I am going to try it.
I wonder if a few drops of essential oil can be put in this mixture?
Thank you for your video. Its been very useful. Just wondering if we can add some disinfectant liquid so we can use it into disinfectant fogging machine?
Man, Im really not sure about that, never tried it
Thanks, great presentation.
Works even better!
Thanks for making this video....I love it
Can I add scent liquid to it?
The home made one looks a little more brown but hey if your struggling you gotta make due
I love it. Thank you very much for this info👻
Maybe pin a comment that this is actually a 20% mixture, despite what's said in the video (6 oz is 20% of the total 30 oz of liquid).
can you use this in a lionel train smoke stack?
Still incorrect though, Proper Smoke fluid can be made like this but it will be thick and glycerine alone has a horrid smell, you can add propylene glycol and triethylene glycol to the mix and less Glycerin, let stand for 2 weeks to soak then use....propylene glycol is a bonding agent for the glycerine and water. triethylene glycol is to make it burn a bit better.. that is how commercial-grade smoke liquids are made.
Do they smell the same?
Thanks for the info.
Cool video. Thanks and I love DIYs!
me too, it's always fun to make something yourself!
doublereno how i make liauid snow machine
Question, does the water have to be distilled or can i use regular tap water?
What's the thickest ratio a qtx 2000w fogger can handle it's powerful tbh
Thanks, very helpful
I wanna know if you can add a small amount of flavor to it, to give it a nice smell without plugging up the machine. Probably gonna experiment a little before someone talks me out of it though.
Did you ever try this?
@@lawnkingslandscaping8328 No. But Halloween is tomorrow, so I'll have an excuse to play with it some more.
hi great vid can you please tell me if any Glycerin will do??cheers
Thanks!
You bet!
Thanks dude
Hi is this useful to kill bacteria and odor?
Great review, to the point
Will food coloring alter the reaction in any way?
What happens if you ONLY put WATER in the fog machine?
You can the homemade one is more thick. The Party City looks transparent.💨💨
For the sesonal user for Halloween decor, or a party or two a year, a thin mix is better. If you forget to rinse run your fogger, it will likely survive because of low glycerin content. A thick mix will evaoprate the smaller amount of water and be like jello in the fogger heater and pump.
can we use spring water instead of distilled water
Thanks man !
Which Preservative Agent I can use in it?
never confuse people with %'s, always call these in ratios of "4:1" or 4 parts per one part.
Well, you can't use %... You need to go back to 3rd Grade! LOL
@@JodBronson well, that would be half of the youtube audience.
@@coryp3896 - LOL
No doubt
@@JodBronson sorry I went to school in the hood. We learned about percentages in the 5th or 6th grade
Do you know how to make fog juice from oil base? becase my smoke machine oil base
It would've been better if you could've used some lighting to enhance the smoke effect
can you do one for haze?
Can you add some type of mosquito control liquid and will it work ?
I just tried using essential oils. Works. But not sure if its super strong. I haven't made my own mixture though. Now i have an idea of ratio/% so i can make the new solution thicker. I have tried patchouli palmarosa and rosemary so far. Need to get citronella and mint next i think.
By mixture i meant of the fog fluid. I had just mixed the fluid i got with the fogger with the oils and added that to the unit.
I need it to be more dense. Theres a lot of air flow where im at on my porch. I figure a richer mixture could help it linger more
Is that oil base or water base( assuming it’s considered water based)
I would assume you would consider it water based
Awesome!
I have a question. With this Neto, do I still need to buy a chiller??
American DJ F-Scent Tropical 🤔
can yo uuse this indors for like a party?
for the fog juice is it possible to color it if you use water based food coloring.
Awesome thank you so much for the video
TU. how did you calculate the percentage?
Thanks bro
That's pretty neat!
Dose it have a smell? Dose that glycerin smell?
thank you for the video man really saved us with money lmao
Thats great!!
@@doublereno great video! how long in terms of hours does this much solution last? Just needed to know if It'll be enough to last 2 hours? Never used a fod machine before as it will be my first time for a party. Thanks in advance!
I'm back in 2024 to learn this once again lol
Nice video, great job with the layout and instructions!
Have you tested that amount to determine the minute count that it produces before it disburses?
But he is wrong
Who is wrong??
Hello,Please if I add a colour used in baking mixed with the Glycerine and distilled water,would that make my smoke colour??
Tazz Brills Yes, it will tint the fog. It will not saturate it with color, but it will give it a tinted hue. Blue and green work best.
Hi
Can i use any glycerin or it has to be specific
when you say “glycerine” is this the stuff labeled “vegetable glycerine”?
No you need pure glycerin there's many types you want the purest version possible
@@jgillylikesbudsalot7436 Vegetable is more natural and less harsh actually... medical grade is manufactured and can be ALOT harsher on the chest of those who inhale it, please give out proper information.
does it smell less then store bought
how effective is this solution?
Your mixture is only 20%. 6oz to 18oz (1 to3) would be 25%.
vegetable glycerine?
can i use propylene glycol
really not sure if that works the same
