Making a Mini Fog Machine for props and Cosplays

[@Bryan-ec4kr]

So a few reasons you're having trouble soldering to that surface: - It's a huge piece of metal so you're just creating what's called a cold solder joint, you need something to transfer heat a lot more efficiently to that surface to solder to it. I'd suggest using solder paste or flux to help with heat transfer. - The surface is very smooth, try scratching it up some. - Your solder tip doesn't look very well tined which will degrade the heat transfer. - Look into a better solder 63/37 tin/lead is the best ratio solder it has a near zero "plastic" point, which is the point where it's still a liquid after you remove the heat before it cools. - Also make sure you're cleaning your solder, and what you're going to be soldering with 97% or higher isopropyl alcohol first. You'd be surprised how dirty solder is. Anyhow, you mentioned if we had any tips about soldering, those are the ones I'd start with.

I was gonna say use paste also.

[@saltwaterrook4638]

Because it's polished stainless steel. You're better off drilling into it for a small grounding screw.

[@BonesFamily-f5m]

I about died when the hot glue came out. 🤣

[@awodako1799]

yup, and it have a loooot of thermal mass and the soldering iron is too week and can't heat it up to a good temperature for the solder to stick

[@PatrickPaul1203]

A tip for instantly cooling something down, take a can of compressed air, hold it upside down and it will instantly solidify hot glue, haven’t tried it on solder yet but it should work. Make sure not to get yourself it can burn you because it’s so cold.

Just had to say I’m really glad I found this video. Though I won’t be using this for props, I wanted to make a very portable automotive smoke machine to find vacuum leaks without paying hundreds of dollars for brand name ones having them draw power from the onboard battery or having to connect to air compressors with regulators and what not. So this video was really helpful for a different approach. Thank you. 🤙🏻

[@hectorcastrellon3087]

Try acid flux instead of rosin flux. You need a flux so it can stick.

[@Sickandawful]

Just a suggestion, you can get a pre wired socket the atomizer can thread into. Just search for a pre soldered 510 connector

[@ganon4688]

Would love to know more about this

[@damo666]

Better with a 5 second timer switch so it only runs for a short period of time as it might burn out the coil

[@lumienero5105]

Your soldering problem comes from «excipient» (i don’t know the right word in english…) a chimical product on the surface who prevent for dirt to incrust in the wire. If you want all part stik, you have to put at a hot temperature (the same for all three part, very hot) together at the same time: the base, the wire, and soldering wire.

[@AnatomicCosplay]

Thank you!

[@TheOgi22]

05:31 scrape the surface and use the flux.

[@ARAR124-b4j]

Can you use them with your Dark Deku cosplay??

[@diegog9186]

i was thinking the same, with purple

[@wesleyhale3070]

Your solder doesn’t “stick” is due to the fact that you are soldering to what looks like aluminum. You can try scratching up the part, then take some patroleum jelly put on that spot, then heat it up with your soldering iron.

[@AnatomicCosplay]

Thank you! I didn’t know about the petroleum jelly

[@paranoidzkitszo]

what's the p.j. do?

[@CaptainDonKeys]

What are you using to recharge the batteries? I'm having trouble finding what's appropriate for them

[@hawk9853]

Hi!!! How do charge the batteries after?

[@diegog9186]

I love this chanel, this man is like a Senku but for cosplays hahahaha great video man.

[@NOTABOT-e4q]

were did you find the other vape atmotizer the small one

[@SSherlockE]

I can’t find those vape pieces anywhere

[@avrilliabeeblez6694]

hii, cosplayer here... is there a way to make the smoke COLORED? should i mix the liquid with some type of coloring??

[@BastardintheBlack]

There is no way to colour fog juice directly. Anything you mix runs the risk of clogging the machine. Even in professional theatres, film sets, etc. The smoke, fog, haze is always white. If you have LEDs close to where your smoke comes out, then it might lend a tone of colour to the smoke, but in general it's just white.

[@kainpwnsu]

Use LEDs to illuminate the fog.

[@marcidannafpv]

😊😊😊👍👍👍👏👏👏 molto utile grazie per il video

[@SouthWestNz]

You can't solder stainless steel

[@theromeog]

Switch is 1 and 0. Not O and I. 0 and 1 are binary for off (0) and on (1).

[@zero_how8632]

You can use it for smokescreen for dark deku

[@Hempel1303]

i learned: when anything doesn`t stick together correctly, put hotglue *over* it 😂

[@YoSoyVisitron]

Hello, I need help, you see, I don't speak English and I don't understand it, I'm literally using Google translate, I would like to know how you made the Dark Deku cape but I don't understand the steps and I don't understand it at first glance, if you could explain it to me here in the comments so I can translate it, it would be very useful, Thank you

[@christophe97197]

hello can you sell me your smoke system, I want to put it on a drone

[@Nekoraru22]

[@carlosyangmorales2560]

Vape premium

[@realtidydesign]

no flux

[@VstromVroomer]

Electronists are cringing at that solder job

[@AnatomicCosplay]

No doubt here

[@paranoidzkitszo]

They may be.... they may be.... but, "Electronists"? I think there's more than Electronists that "are cringing"....

[@PropGuru702]

Wtf is an electronist? Ffs

[@wingofwinter888]

brush it 1st or use sand paper and then applying some flux
