The fog machine puts outputs small droplets of water and oil can clog the openings of the machine. Directions on the container states not to dilute or alter the the liquid in any way. Therefore, adding essential oils is altering the solution.
The basic composition of fog juice is very simple: glycerin and water. It is specifically one part glycerin to three parts water. If you want thicker, denser fog, you will need to use more glycerin. If you want normal, thinner fog you would use more water.
Concentrated Scent Additive
By simply adding one half ounce of scent to a gallon of fluid, you can distribute any one of our 58 scents throughout your venue through fog, haze, or even snow! This fluid is 100% non-toxic and safe to add to any water based fog, haze, bubble, or snow machine.
I would not recommend adding the oil unless you want to damage your machine. I suggest looking for a solution with fragrance added by the manufacturer.
Keep flammable items away from the machine, make sure there's sufficient space and ventilation around it, don't leave it unattended while it's hot, and – most importantly – make sure the fog is shooting into an open space and not at people or other objects.
After returning home, prepare a solution of 50% distilled water and 50% clear vinegar. Empty your fog machine of all fog fluid (throw it away). Fill the tank with the solution of 50/50 water/vinegar.
While it's recommended to only use fog machines in well-ventilated areas with good air circulation, even then the smoke can be hazardous to inhale. Liquid fogs often include chemicals like Propylene glycol (antifreeze) and unknown mixtures of fragrance oil to mask the real smell of the fog.
Yes, you can use a sanitiser in a fogging machine, but we recommend you let a professional do it for you.
Fog machines use a special fluid, often water or glycol-based, which is heated to produce the fog effect.
Use fog lights and low-beam headlights. Do not use high beams. Use the right edge of the road or roadside reflectors as a visual guide. Turn on your vehicle's hazard lights so it is easier for other vehicles to see you.
Fog machine fluid often contains glycol or glycerin, which is vaporized to create fog.
Important Note: Bear in mind that not all fogging machines can work with insecticides. Make sure that you use the right fogging machine for the right purpose to avoid damaging your equipment.
This is an effective way to clean grime while providing a layer of anti-fog coating. Witch Hazel: Mix ½ cup distilled with ½ cup witch hazel, and add two drops of Dawn dish soap into a spray bottle.
It is no different than changing the oil in your car every 3000 miles. Regular check‐ups will insure that the car lasts much longer. We recommend cleaning your machine after every 80‐100 hours of use and prior to any long term storage.
Please don’t do that.  Best thing to do it run the old juice completely out of the fog machine. Make sure to run out your fluid at the end of your season as well.  Leaving fluid in the machine is the fastest way to degrade the parts in your fogger.
Air Pollution: The fine mist generated by fogging machines can contribute to air pollution. The aerosolized insecticides can drift away from the targeted area, spreading to neighboring regions and affecting air quality. Prolonged exposure to these airborne chemicals can pose risks to both human and animal health.
Since haze machines produce subtle mist, they are ideal for creating a consistent atmosphere at concerts, theaters, parties, and film sets. Fog machines are ideal for creating a spooky atmosphere where low-visibility effects are desired, such as a dramatic theater scene or a horror-themed production.
The Importance of Post-Bombing Cleaning
It is essential to clean your mattress after using a bug bomb to remove any chemical residues and ensure a safe sleeping environment. Health Considerations: Chemical residues can be harmful if inhaled or come into contact with skin.
Dish soap is an anti-fog rubbing compound and is supremely effective at stopping fog build-up on glasses and goggles. In the same way of application as other compounds, just put a drop of dish soap on a clean rag, and rub until the point when you have a clean lens.
By rendering fat, adding lye to make it soap, and breaking the mixture with salt, you can make glycerin at home in a few hours.
The lifespan of a fog machine largely depends on its quality, usage, and maintenance. On average, a well-maintained smoke machine can last several years. Regular cleaning and proper storage can extend its lifespan.
