Talk about taking the joke too far....

Talk about taking the joke too far....

The funniest part of which is that I have no personal experience of said items, and am in fact the voice of reason concerning them. I sincerely hope that Tony never has a thermal issue with them. Another humorous aside is that I have had an (old backup) amp regularly thermal on me when driving my subs, so the joke's therefore on me.

Well I have used the HP hazer and is very good, although I have bought a fog machine.
The fogger I have is the Martin Magnum 650 Smoke Machine and came with 5ltrs of Martin standard fluid.

Now ordinarily I would have said that the hazer was better, however In think it depends on what fluid you use.
My mate has the HP hazer but was using a cheaper brand fluid and although was more of a haze than smoke it was like stronger on the spell.
I have fired up the Martin with the right fluid and because its the standard fluid its not as dens and hardly smells.

The only problem I have with the martin is that the remote is hardwired and doesn't have a timer but very well made and looks good.
I'm hopping I may be able to fit an XLR socket and plug on the remote as that would make it a perfect unit for me (anybody know how many wires are in the remotes, I assuming 2-3?

That's one of the things that made my mind up about the HP Hazer. It has a remote control that connects in simply by 1/4in jack. It also has a timer on it too which comes in handy.

The last time I used my smoke machine was a few years ago at a fourteenth birthday party, and they wanted loads of smoke. The more the better, in fact. If I'd had a hazer, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been very impressed.

As i said before, if I set my hazer on max, it runs pretty much like a fog machine, although not as dense it still outputs more than enough fog for a school disco.

I shall post some pics next time I use it at a kids party (27th Dec) unless I use it before.

Next time you watch something like the X Factor or who wants to be a millionaire, or infact any TV show that uses moving heads etc, you'll notice that the beams are all showing, but there's no smoke around.

Why do you think that is?

Who wants to be a millionaire does not use smoke or haze, they use robe 1200's, you will see the beam on any mover above 575 with no haze. Obviously Mobile DJs will need haze as they will not be using MAC 575s

But for small movers or scans, 150/250 watts hazer will give a nice even coverage. In my experience (not much lol) but what friends from high places have said is that smoke is more used for effects in stage of even disocs, haze to bring out the beams.

I hope that makes sence lol

How would you know this fact?

It seems very unlikely.
