Nice picture, and a nice setup from what i can see.

Still no good news on the bubble machine problem tho

So should i go ahead and get the second bubble machine or not bother?

Depends on how much money is in your bank account.

And whether you think it'd bring in a suitable return on investment.. i.e. will you be able to charge more, or gain more bookings from having two instead of just the one.

Sadly not much in the bank

But i do believe that adding a second unit to my show could bring more business my way as long as i promote it well.

I wana produce like a heavy shower (i mean bubbles everywhere) of bubbles effect over the dance floor do you think that 2x zoom z10 will be able to do this?

Does the height of the machine have any impact on how slippery the floor gets as i am thinking about adding them onto my overhead light stand which can be over 6 foot high. I'm thinking higher it is, the heighier the bubbles will go therefore the wider area they will cover.

I really need your help on this one so any advice is much appreciated.

Firstly sorry everyone for keep coming back to this topic.....

But

I've just found something called dry bubble fluid. what is this? and does this mean that it will not leave wet marks on the floor and make it slippery?

Bubble Fluid - Le Maitre's premium Bubble Fluid is produced according to very high standards - a difference you can both see and feel. Our bubbles are drier, last longer and the large quantity of bubbles overall makes our bubble fluid the leader in its market.

The worlds best bubble fluid. This is a very dry bubble fluid and when used in conjunction with our bubble machine range maximum bubbles are produced! Awesome.

Well it pushes out 1500 bubbles per minute. My single Chauvet (in the pictures) pushes out 4000.

Yes. If I haven't got a stage to plonk mine on, then I'll hang it. With the best care in the world you'll get the odd drip from the machine so don't place above equipment. Also, don't hang them if a) you're on a wobbly floor or b) you are real close to the audience as you don't want some drunkard tipping the thing up!

Edit: Just to add, sometimes I'll use a couple of upended (empty) flight cases as a 'stand' to take the bubbler a few feet off the floor, but well away from equipment in case of spills.

There have been claims posted about "dry" & "non-slip" bubble fluid before.

All well & good until you read the small print. Basically there's no such thing & all bubble fluids will produce a slippery residue if used enough.

Ok so i will not be able to produce as many bubbles as you can vectisvibe but as ive only got a small set up (bout 6 foot wide) and two z10 would produce something like 3000 bubbles a min thats quite a few spread over a dance floor i would think.

So would you agree that higher the machine the better as long as it is not located above any equipment.

and what is the differents between dry bubble fluid and normal? does it reduce the amount of fluid left on the floor?

Does anyone use so called dry bubble fluid?
