Fogger/Hazer

Ah yes, but how much more special does it feel to drive a Rolls Royce twice a year, as opposed to every day?

Dunno, never drove one

Ah, I see. You're more of a Bentley chap, right?

Hi Andy,

That's my thoughts too.

Luckily, my most used venue does allow it

I've found a Eurolite NH-30 for £110 delivered, so I'll give that a go and see how it performs. (Got to be better than my current fogger)


Cheers

Have a good play with it at home in your garage first so you get a good idea of what settings will work for you.

Out of interest, what is the recommended fluid for this unit?

Can I use my existing fog fluid, or do I need something specific?

The hazer arrived Monday.

Tested it in my kitchen, the wife was not impressed, fogged up the whole house quite quickly lol

I'll be using it at the weekend, see how it goes in situe with my Laserworld ES 400 RGB

I use Prolight "light" fluid nearly all the time and the medium if someone wants lots of smoke or for outside. If your happy with the fluid you're using it will be fine.

Good timing for this post. I looked at the eurolite and also reduced price neon neo (currently at £79), which are the same unit. Was not too keen on them as its quite large and looks suspiciously like a smoke machine (which needs time to heat up again between bursts) so I bought this this morning for a string of 70's theme nights in December in an attempt to make the disco ball rays stand out.

Got it for £91 and it is continuous (even output), light and compact. with some decent fluid it should do the job??

Used my new hazer last weekend, it certainly does the job.

I found it a little tricky to try and get working correctly on intermittent, seems to produce too much, or not enough haze/fog.

In the end I opted to control it manually, topping up the haze as required.

Towards the end of the night, I think the venue must have turned off the air con units. I had to turn off my hazer due to too much haze hanging around in the room.


A question.....

Does anyone have suggestions on the best positioning for these?
I had mine pointing onto the dance floor area, approx. 1 mtr back from the edge of the stage.
When giving a burst of haze, it actually pumps out quite a lot of smoke, quite quickly. Clouding the local area before thinning out into the required haze.

I'm wondering if it would be better to have towards the rear of the stage, or pointing at a wall? giving the smoke more chance to spread before hitting the lights etc.

Any suggestions?

I'm also going to try a light fluid to see what effect that has. (Cannot remember the current fluid exactly, but says something like "professional haze fluid")

TIA
Edward.

I would love to hear your review on this when you've had the chance to use it.
