This is great, I'll have to try the SLES 70. My "goto" recipe I stumbled across a few years back was for a gallon of distilled water, add 8oz dawn, 2oz glycerine, and 2oz propylene glycol. Curious what your thoughts are on the glycerine and propylene glycol. I think one was to act as a lubricant for the machine and I dont recall what the other is for.
@diylightguy14 күн бұрын
@@bmxracernc that’s a good question, I use the glycerin and distilled water for my low lying fog recipe. It works really good. After a lot of trial and error, I found that this snow juice recipe produces a lot of snow for very low price.

I cant seem to find the same fog machine with the 3 knobs only 2. i have 5 fog machines right now but want to do a setup like this for the graveyard part of our display.. I appreciate your rundown of the vids. Do you think an inline fan would be worth it? Also where to buy the plugs for all the extension cords ? Appreciate it..

Looks great! Totes are so useful for large project boxes. In fact, just this year I purchased a large skull archway and wanted to make it much taller and more imposing, plus keep it stable and keep some large floorstanding 70s era speakers dry in Southern Ontario weather. So I used two totes, put the 50 pound speakers in each one and dressed them up to look like boulders. I also use them as covers for large electronic projects I make (magic treasure chests) so that I can set them up and leave them without worrying too much about light rain and squirrels or mice deciding to make a home inside when no humans are around. And one great video deserves a (hopefully) helpful tip: there is no need to use scissors to cut Gorilla Tape. It's a small tip, but you can save the extra step as Gorilla tape tears very cleanly and easily to even 1" strips.

Wow. What a great setup and an excellent tutorial video with great detail. I'm going to incorporate a lot of this into a fog generating mausoleum table for next year so I'm not so wind dependent. 😊 One thought hit my head while watching this though. Have you tried reversing your cooler around? Since cold air/fog sinks, I would think you'd want the fog coming out of the bottom of your cooler and coming into the top. It might not make any difference, but it would be really easy to try with your setup.

I do this with my porch pumpkins. I just made a pigtail with 4 JST connectors coming out of one power supply, then I cut random length wires with the other JST connector from the pumpkins to the connectors. The pumpkins are on my porch, so I did not need to use the waterproof connectors. You can do the same thing but with waterproof connectors instead.

I will have to check, I think I got it on the Google Drive, or it came with the sequence. This was last year‘s Halloween Horror Lights Submission. It’s a free sequence you map to your house, then you submitted it. They stitch all the houses worldwide together and make one big video. It’s a great project. This year‘s submission is, Every Day is Halloween by LVCRFT. It’s too late to submit this year, but you can still download it for free and map it to your house. They also do one for Christmas. That one is called Xlights Around The World. Search for Halloween horror lights on Facebook. They have links to this year‘s sequence and the previous years. They are free sequences that you can map to your house. Same thing for Xlights Around the world. You can get this year sequence and previous years sequences.

Can you add a link to how to build your cooler? I searched your videos and couldn't find it. I agree about not using direct flow chiller like other videos, your idea makes the most sense to maximize chilling the fog. I think a cooler is necessary as another video bypassed the cooler concept and used a bilge pump but it fails every season due to excess moisture on an electrical fan. Thank you for the diy fog liquid. Very helpful. I love the idea of using a large tote to store everything in one case. I agree with the dyna mister vs the vevo because it has a low water sensor. Your video by far is the most comprehensive tutorial to get maximum low lying fog without having to replace equipment every year.

@@vinhnguyen592 thank you, I built the cooler about three years ago, so I did not film that build. That was the first thing I tried before I came up with the pond mister combination.
