My machine is only 2 years old. Only used it once, cleaned with vinegar before storing it away in original packaging. Come to use today and its not working. Heats up, makes a noise when I press button and i can slightly smell fog liquid but no smoke :( will this video help me?
I have an ADJ F-1300 that was last used at my bowling alley 10 years ago, but could no longer be used due to it setting off the new fire alarm system. Well, the bowling alley had to close and is being torn down, so here I have this fog machine with remote and a spare bottle of fog juice, but unfortunately NO TANK. And since I didn't come along until a year after it was put into storage, I have no idea what its tank looked like. I would love to find a tank and get it running again.
If the device is essentially the same then the tank could likely be anything that you can safely put the fog juice in and get the feed line into. For mine, the tank simply fits in the space at the back but could just as easily be left sitting to the side of the machine. I really appreciate you taking the time to post a comment! [So sorry for the delay... life kinda got in the way for a bit]
Thank you for the great video post. I wanted to ask you the problem I’m having with my fog machine is sometimes fogs when I’m not Triggering it via DMX. What do you think would cause that? I’m assuming some check valve somewhere is starting to fail or get clogged.? Thank you!
If it is bent by accident such that it kinked the tube then it might need to be replaced. But if you need to clean around the normal curve then try the solution/ liquid cleaning approach first. Then If you need try a copper wire used like a pipe cleaner. Does that help a bit more?
Great question. Sorry I don't remember the exact price of the tube but it wasn't very much... maybe a couple $. I've found these at most auto supply stores.
Yes, it seems a bit counterintuitive but having the fluid in there keeps it from bigger issues. The pump and heater should always have fluid in them. You can find different views in the topic but this seems to be the predominant opinion.
Ready for Halloween now!!

Probably not

I still a bit confused. How do you clean the copper line if it is bent?

How much did this cost to fix?

Nice
Thank you!
End of video says always store with fog juice ?

Using hot water to heat the tube is a little easier I've found.
So this is HOW TO REPLACE HOSE on fog pump?.... Or did I miss something
Mine wont heat up its brand new
Hopefully it was under warranty and you can return or exchange it.
This is "a bag" of rocks". I bought "a box" of candy. There are "a lot" of screws.
Lol... fair enough! I need to stop doing the 1 AM edit sessions... I'm missing too much. Thanks for watching and commenting.
