[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

I agree... the fist smoker I used was the size of a shoe box haha

[@Leathurkatt]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT That is just crazy! I remember 15 years ago my son had a motorized Thomas the Tank Engine train set in which you put a few drops of water in Thomas's smoke stack and he lets out little puffs of cold smoke as he goes around the track. My son loved that set and I thought the cold smoke idea was really cool for all sorts of things, from toys to cosplay to tabletop terrains, dioramas, and holiday decor. Of course I wasn't about to tear apart my son's toy and I had no way of getting anything like that at the time for what I wanted to use it for... I like the miniaturized tech we have now!

This quality is next level how he incorporated all additional uses with an ease of use that is very intuitive. Definitely a great innovation and no way of the average of DIYers are going to produce such an elegant solution to this need.

Wow.. that really adds to the build.. And last week I already thought it to be one of the nicest things you ever made. Perhaps I would dim the led a little bit though with some paper perhaps where it has to shine through. Might just be me but I would like it to be just a little bit more subtle but that could also be because in that shot we look straight at it.

Strange I just got an ultrasonic fogger in the mail the other day. It sprays water everywhere and would ruin any build, basically unusable. So this is music to my ears. I'm going to install mine into my DMS screen dice tower. I cant wait to see my PC's reaction the first time (in a couple years post lockdowns) when I have to make an epic role through a smokescreen. Oh hey! I don't know why it took me so long but say hello to your newest contractor!! woop woop. Thus cementing me as the true TWC #1 SUPERFAN!!! YEAH!

[@morsecodereviews1553]

I'm not hating! I recognize that electronic cigarette because I've had dozens of them years ago lol(Clearomizer was the catch-all phrase). Comes with the ego base and a 510 pin connector. The hodge-podgery going on here in next level clever. I love that this runs on a single 18650 battery, typical for that ecig. The quick connects are genius. Those coils easily burn out though because the silica wick is slow to keep up. Luckily a 5 pack was around $15 I'm assuming there is a fan in that 3d printed box?

Hi Sebastian, thanks you for following the channel. I have a few tiers on Patreon you might be interested, one that gets you my plans included in the tier, and one that gets you bonus videos posted to my private Facebook page showing how I make my washes and other short videos and posts. Basically I use carbon black ink, burnt umber, Liquitex flow aid, matte medium, and distilled water.

[@sebastiandodson189]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT thanks! I've been meaning to check that out, and totally interested in the additional content.

[@MyklCarlton]

Are you using a hot element or an ultrasonic driver? The smoke looks like it's warmer than the ambient air, which is great for a fogger but not when you want ground-hugging fog/mist.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

That’s a question for Wayne. This creeps over the table real nice.

[@MyklCarlton]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT Excellent! I ask because I've used larger fog machines in theatre and you need to cool the exhaust or wind up with a room full of smoke!

[@northernprepper1173]

where do you get replacement smoke juice and how much does that stuff cost?

[@WaynesWorkshop]

a bottle of propylene glycol goes for about 12 euro here, which is pretty cheap, and it will last a loooong time, available on amazon and the likes

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Amazon, and it’s really cheap.

[@BornT0Feel]

Well... It looks great, but now I'm torn appart between this and fog monster. I wonder how well does it covers table and whole board? Does it stick to "the ground"?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

It does a nice job with ground cover... more to come on the channel. I would give you a comparison if I could but I haven’t used the fog monster.

[@BornT0Feel]

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT @Tabletop WitchCRAFT Thanks for the answer :) It's realy awsome that you are reading and answering the comments. Wayne's design looks more compact and that's a big plus, also it seems more affordable. I'll wait for more of your videos and I'll make my mind. Thanks!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

@@BornT0Feel You got it :). You’ll see more if it on the channel for sure.

[@timbrown4928]

I've been looking for something like this as well. Can you lay the unit on its side? I'm guessing not since the fog juice would spill out. I need to be able to hide it from the players vision. Super cool idea anyways and can't wait to see your epic build and how you implement this!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Hi Tim, yes you can lay it on its side. You just need to monitor the fluid levels differently so you don’t burn it out.

[@WaynesWorkshop]

You can lay it on its side no problem, smoke fluid will not spill out as it's a contained in a closed system, the only thing you will have to do sooner when using it on its side is refill it, that's about it 😁

[@MyklCarlton]

Maybe the flat version?

[@ZombieQueenYugi]

Oh man! This is amazing! Why couldn’t you just tell us what it is for next week?! LOL I’m so excited! I do have a question for you. Do you take request? For instance, I really want to build a witches cottage for our campaign. And I’m not really good about drawing up ideas. How would you go about it besides just putting foam together. I like the fact that your builds use magnets for utilizing the inside as well.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Thank you :) Yep, next week sorry haha. I do leave hints though in The Coven which you can join in my Patreon :) I love requests. This is an awesome idea... one that I had in mind for a while, and I need to bring to the table. I actually thought of an awesome idea for this while listening to "Salem's Secret" by Peter Gundry. Check that song out, and his work for your campaign.

[@crafts4mecrafter763]

would this be able to smoke for 12 hr stretches, turn on and off with a timer not arduino?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Great question, something you’ll want to contact the company about.

[@RPRsChannel]

I's like to see this in a dungeon or sewer build of yours, to see how the smoke stops and behaves; right now it's sorta just going everywhere.

It would follow my whole sewer system. I need to hook it up to my sewer exit!

[@TonyE727]

The question I have, does the smoke leave a film on anything like terrain or minis?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Only after 20 minutes on full blast in one spot did I have an extremely small amount of residue. For typical use in game I would have absolutely no issue running this beast!

[@TonyE727]

I want to use it on a table that is going to have a lot of (painted) mdf terrain. Do you think it would be an issue?

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

@@TonyE727 This can run about 20 minutes max before all the fog juice is used up. At that point it would need to be turned off and refilled. That's what I did and it had such a small amount of residue buildup that it wouldn't damage the terrain IMO. I wouldn't have any issue running it over the stuff I make. That being said, I also would use it for cool effects and not just run it for 20 minutes straight while playing.

It's a good question, but I haven't used the other one you mentioned. I have used others (larger machines) in the past that have spit the "fog juice" all over my crafts... that was a nightmare.

@@TabletopWitchCRAFT I DEFINITELY want to avoid fog splooge all over my minis lol. Thanks for the reply man!

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

@@theaterofthemini No doubt! Anytime.

[@jherazob]

The Fog Monster and their other stuff uses water instead of fog juice, with the same ultrasonic system as humidifiers. The advantage is that you don't need dedicated juice, which does leave a residue which would be noticeable over time (multiple sessions, or a campaign, or a tournament if you're doing wargames instead of RPGs), and can produce insane flows of fog very fast. The disadvantage is that, well, you're essentially spraying water all over your tabletop, your terrain and minis will get moist, which is a problem if things are not fully sealed and specially with the risk of reactivating PVA, so varnish becomes a hard requirement. Neither solution is perfect, but the results are so drool-worthy with either method that the extra efforts are small compared to the creepy awesome ambience :D

[@theaterofthemini]

@@jherazob Thank you for the information! Helps me big time, I am def getting one in the near future. I will most likely limit how often I use it for encounters to help reduce any moisture issues over time. I do seal all my minis and terrain but it's still a concern. The effect is just too tantalizing to not go for it though lol. Thanks again! :)

[@crafts4mecrafter763]

will this smoke for at least 12 hours?

It’ll run out of fluid long before that.

[@dmgreenofla_578]

I'm sorry, 20 minute run time before refill is needed, I have d&d combats that last for hours. The RealGameFX FogMonster water based machine will keep effects on the table for hours. There is water residue build up but their V2 has way less of that. They also have a bunch of terrain pieces that help you blend the smoke machine with. This one is a neat novelty but ultimately falls short by comparison.

[@TabletopWitchCRAFT]

Philosophy of use. If you want something to run for hours it might not be what you want, but for effects during gameplay up to 20 minutes long this this is awesome.
