Lighting And Effects Answers

The fogger will only operate as long as the heat-exchanger is hot enough to vaporize the fog juice. The initial warm-up time is dedicated to this task.

But as soon as you press the button, generating fog, that heat is used up, and the heat exchanger cools down. If you have a low-wattage machine, a good long fog burst will cool the machine enough that it will have to stop and reheat.

Non-commercial grade glycol foggers are generally not capable of continuous fogging.

If it won't work continuously, how do I get the fog machine to maintain a continuous fog level?

[carlos]

 In order to produce and maintain a continuous level of fog, you will need to use the fog machine for periodic short bursts, allowing it to rest between bursts. Some of our fog machines have a timer which allows you to program for this.

Why doesn't the fog machine put out as much fog as it used to?

[carlos]

 The fog machine probably needs cleaning. Follow the instructions that came with your fog machine for details.
