  • So many dumb and needless comments on this vid.

  • 'it only contains CO2 andH2O so its completely harmless, but make sure its well ventilated so u dont die'

    yea, sounds pretty harmless all right

  • Cuz EVERYONE has a local dry ice manufacturing factory!! o_o

  • @KolourfulKizzy welding companys does sometimes have it too ;)

    (world wide web) manchesterhasit.co.uk/business­/12115/" they should have some in manchester too

  • @reffstrup

    Pfff. :'P

  • @reffstrup

    Most people aren't a welding company. XD

  • Can you use water??

  • @MusicKicksYourBack

    No you cant that will clug your machine and burn the whole damn thing

  • well at least now we know it DOES have side effects lol

  • I Live in Greece, and here we can't find dry ice in stores, can I make this machine from the video Mighty Mini Fog Maker without dry ice but with fog juice????

  • Keep pressing 9

  • Propylene glycol (the active ingredient in most fog machines, which is why the smoke smells sweet) is harmless, and often used as a medium for nicotine delivery in electronic cigarettes, all approved by the FDA. CO2 is what aerobic life (including humans) breathes out . Both can lead to asphyxiation in high concentrations as they "crowd out" the oxygen in the air.

  • id fuck that guy

  • i want some fog juice

  • 0:30 HA HA! Fog face!

  • 0:59 1:10 ... How its work ??? Please answer .And . Where can I find dry ice ??

  • @antoniozografski

    You can find it at the grocery store.

    Dry ice is frozen carbon diokside,it's EXTREMLY cold (-110) and that's why you always need to wear gloves when touching it or you can get freeze burnt.Hot water and dry ice are a good combination to make a long lasting smoke,mostly used on halloween for haunted cauldrons.The smoke is completly harmless,its just carbon diokside back in the gas condition.Hope this helped.

  • @Jigsawkiller1000 OK, but I'm from Macedonia ... I don't know where find dry ice ... Can i buy of internet ??

  • @antoniozografski

    You can get it from your local grocery store or from a butcher shop (meat shops)

    Or try finding an industry like Messer they have plenty of dry ice.

  • @Jigsawkiller1000 And one question, what is small fog ?? 1:19 where to buy this ?? (Small fog) or something ??

  • @antoniozografski

    I'm sorry you waited long for my response.

    That is a smoke bomb you can make yourself you can just find easy steps to make it.

    I like to use potassium chlorate(KClO3), dye (blue,red,orange what comes to your mind) and some lactose.Mix these 3 ingredients and pack them into a tiny ball.Fire it and enjoy the smoke.

  • love the intro and outtro music...

  • Was that fog smoke, or....?

  • Wee, I ♥ fog!

  • he inhaled to much fog :D

  • best smoke machine is a midget with a lot of cigars , hidden in a bin with a slot on the bottom

  • @svenman1996 Ahhhh, midgets. God's little punch lines.

  • He didn't show us how anything works!!

  • i bet his neighbors where like ??? call 911! marshall brain is on fire!!

  • @giliganfan carbon dioxide is in the air... its just as harmless as air, unless you only breath the stuff for a while. then you'll probably pass out or something from lack of oxygen.

  • it only contains c2o and water so its totally harmeless...last time i checked c2o is bad for you..lol so stoned this dude is

  • @kaydo29 c2o? how about co2...

  • @tradrjakk yea what ever....you knew what i ment...no need to be smart ass about it

  • holy crap this guy is on a mix of crack and meth

  • what type of fog machine is this

  • Comment removed

  • I saw this guy on tv ... wonder where./..

  • If non of the above works, get into a car and shut all the doors and roll up your windows then smoke a bowl, then you have a peaceful fog in your car. The more you know!

  • fog i dont get fog isn it smoke? or no?

  • @madrigal212 the liguid thats poured into a fog machine is a type of liquid that when boiled it gives off a type of smokey fog, it would be like putting a pot of boiling water ontop of an open fire accept with fog juice

  • Where can I get smoke bombs?

  • yea fill up a stadium with smoke bombs and let them die fast and quiet :D

  • sounds like he's drunk lol :p

  • Actually water-based fog output is completely harmless. Read the MSDS sheet on it. You have a better chance of a "side-effect" from breathing in the C02 emissions i the dry ice produces, or that smoke stick- which would probably be a bad idea to use to fill a stadium..

  • the guy is Fag Machine

  • lol

  • lol..

  • wow i know i have a fog machine a made a fog bomb muhahahahahahahaha

  • CO2 is harmless???

    Tell that to the global warming alarmists!

  • @thomasw78 yea and what the heck does he mean by carbon dioxide build up, carbon dioxide poisoning is more like it. lol

  • put the smoke bomb where the liquid goes. the vapor that comes out of those machines are harmless tho but it still will look cool!

  • is a smoke bomb bad to breve in the smoke from it

  • yeah right that thing couldnt fill a stadium lick my ass

  • Fog juice ?...

  • Wow!

  • i love smoke

  • SMOKKEEEE!!!

  • youd be better of filling an entire stadium with a machine surely haha

  • Thanks a lot for your answer.

  • Very interesting. A question a have one of the Fog FX machine. Could I use just water or must be the special liquid.

  • special liquid because water doesn't have the correct materials to turn into fog right as it gets to the heating element.

  • The special liquid is necessary. Water will not work at all.

  • the smoke from the smoke bomb shoots in to his face

  • funny thing is, they all can possibly kill you.

  • contrary to hale 992's theory

  • If its fluid then it rises because its hot and of its molecular weight.. Obviously it would be hot because it goes through a heat eliment. By the way dry ice machines are cold.. therefore NOT ALL FOG MACHINES produce cold fog.. thank you. (DJ CHRIS G)

  • clings to the floor? lol what a dumbass its coz cold air is denser than hot air..

  • err... Actually no.

    All smoke from smoke machines comes out cold, you can't even feel it, it only rises because of it's molecular weight.

    To make it heavy you have to cool it down before it gets outside of the machine, the atoms clump together thus making it heavy and thus making it cling to the floor

  • The smoke machine~

  • I am going to buy a fog machine. Any reccomendations? prefferably one under 300

  • search "the fog macine" i have that one and it rocks.. i can fill my house in under 10 min!!! its about $59

  • V-950 Super Fogger

  • If have not found one. Check out Parts Express. The sell all types of audio and stage gear.

  • Well I got a pretty good fog machine for AU$80 (mfx 600) it's got a good spread but extended use can start to burn the smoke and make it go brown :(.

  • I had a fog machine it was a black one and it was an f 80-fogger it was 700watts with 10 meters of wired remote and after i got home i think my parents come home and about an hour or so later my mum got me to go on my bike somewhere to deliver something and when i come back it went all quiet and because we have a massive snooker room and then their it is a smoke machine setup for me but i dont live thrie any more and i dont have the fog machine any more.

  • i want one so bad! there so cool but my mom wont let me get one! >:I lol

  • he got pwned at the end... :D

  • fog juice lol

  • ok, using the words "completely harmless" in reference to CO2 is dangerously wrong. We exhale because CO2 is a POISON! However, used with common sense, dry ice is a fun thing to play with.

  • CO (Carbon Monoxide) is poisonous, as it bonds with hemoglobin in the blood and chokes off your oxygen supply,

    CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) does not bond with cells in your body, and has no harmful effects.

  • ummm... CO, CO2, n2o whatever it can harm you severely if used improperly. just due to the fact that it displaces oxygen and can suffocate you just as easily...

    if ya wanna test that get a 12oz cylinder of co2 and open it in a small room and try breathing near the floor

  • yeah right, if you sleep in a room full of carbon dioxide you can die. I'ts safer if used at an open area.

  • Correct. But if to much carbon dioxide is taken in it will cause CO2 poisening because its a heavy gas that will drop and linger in your lungs. therfor to much will prevent you from in taking enough oxygen choking you to death.

  • can we do a hand stand to get rid of it?

  • Acttualy yah, that should work. you just need to use gravity to get rid of the heavy gas out of your lungs.

  • what if you stood on ur head? the heavy gas will then leave ur lungs cause up is now down...

  • yah it'd work

  • @grassvalleystudios: That's not exactly true. Yes, carbon dioxide is heavier than "air" (which is mostly nitrogen), but it will not "linger in your lungs". In fact carbon dioxide is what you exhale. It's the main product of cellular respiration. The problem with carbon dioxide is that, since it is a nonmetal oxide, it will react with the water in your bloodstream forming carbonic acid. This will shift the pH of your blood into the acidic range ("acidosis") which is a very dangerous condition.

  • is that a mammoth smoke? i got one but im not too sure whether to hold it or not..

    thx.

  • ololololololool

  • This guy is stoned off his ass

  • I agree... ;D

  • ROFLMAO Gavbag1234 says he's stoned off he's ass then Camtomlee says I agree then 05clenharth says agree and gets 5 negatives ROFL

  • @gavbag1234 LMFAO at 129 is hilarious

  • @Drhacker7

    The man is getting baked off of a smoke bomb! He's out of his fucking tree. I have to try that!

  • @gavbag1234

    I LOLED SO HARD

  • "fog juice"

    yea that's really scientific and informative.

  • soon you will

  • man its so much fun pissing you off LOL

  • it was good but since you started watching it, it became bullshit

  • man you watch a lot of bullshit

  • you still never explained how it works tho....

  • would it break the machine if you DID put water in there. i know not to but what would happen if you did?

  • PARTYYYYYY!!!!!!

  • I've seen ones with out a heat exchanger. at its center there was a small oscillating disk. when I asked the operator they said it used tap water. any one know about what I'm talking about?

  • they use special fluid tht u buy in shops. most shops recommend u use the smoke fluid tht they sell in the shop u got ur smoke machine from. but they would say tht really wouldnt they :P

  • I know but the woman at the kiosk said it was just tap water.

  • Do you know any place online where i could get a fog machine. My room is black with black lights, and I have a medal knight in my room. Ohh and I sleep in a black painted wooden coffin. ANd I would like a fog machine with it. YOu know where i can get 1 online?

  • u could try maplin they have them for about £40 i dunno what that is in dollars though. try them i think they sell things online. lots of good stuff in there.

  • fogmachine(dot)cheapdjgear(dot­)us

    amazon

    ebay

  • yeah i had one... pretty cool thng but the sounds kept creating cues outside my toilet.

  • Um for thats size and output its a rip off $30!! for that!!!

  • Lol that would have been funny if he just started choking and shit lmfao like "cut the machine off cut it off!!" LMAO

  • What is the fog juce made out of i have the same fog mechene and i use tap water cuz i ran out of the juce how it has a light smoke and not thick is ther household stuff i can use or do i half to get the juce somewher if i do please tell me wher???????

  • Stupid you cant use tap water.

  • YA now i know that. NOOB

  • im the noob because i wasnt stupid enough to put tap water in a fog machine..

  • NOOOO ur not a noob my bro typed that sorry and i know not to put tap water in ther.

  • HEY i just saw this guy on national geographic 

    someone from you tube made it!!!!!

  • wat voor soort ijs is dat

  • droogijs

    eigelijk gewoon vast koolstofdioxide

  • Here's my question.. If you're using a fog machine - or even a hazer in a nice ballroom setting, where does this stuff evaporate to? Will the fog juice cling, build up and stain the walls? it has to go somewhere - it just doesn't disappear. this can be a liability issue that I never see addressed.

    If anyone knows , please respond - thanks.

  • It will leave a residue on everything in the room. But you have smoke away around 5 litres of fog juice before you notice any. It's basically steam (with some parrafine) so it does harm electrical equipment, but not immidiatly after you push your controllerbutton.

  • Right. Every fog machine you buy, even a small household one for halloween or something, says its recommended for indoor use. Just keep the room ventalated and it shouldn't be a problem.

  • lmfao.. wtf

  • omg, omg, stop. hahahahahaa, oh god, oh god, I'm laughing to much...oh jeez hahaa

  • damn straight lol, me too

  • thanks, i just ordered one to use at wrestling events ... i was interested to how they work.

  • were can you get smoke bomb like that one at the end plz help

  • carbon dioxide is not harmless, you can sufficate, since it displaces oxygen! how is that harmless?

  • i have one

  • lol, they use the shitiest fogger you can get, the one from walmart lol

  • im geting that little tube for halloween! where can u get it??? im making a maze at home and need fog in it!!! please reply!

  • if i were you id use dry ice,

    it clings to the floor rather than everywhere, this gives it a kinda Erie cemetery look :D

  • HEY< he has the same one i have! :) lol

  • smoke =P

  • stfu, nub

  • lmao!

  • Subscribed cause I love you guys haha

  • DONT BYE GEMMY MINI Fog Machine IT DONE NOT WORK!!

  • does it just die on you or what?

  • lol cool i got this awsome fog machine that u put ice in so it make the fog stay on the ground XD i was playing with it last night, wehad this tent filled with pillows and stuff and my bro and friend were like sleeping in it then i put the fog machine right there and they started coughing and running out of the tent *me laughing in backgroung*

  • ha ha ha ..VERY COOL VIDEO but....

    too much party other night?

    he he he

    cheers buddy

  • there is never n e side effect from using smoke machines, only if you have shitty fluid,CRAPPY FLUID = CRAPPY SMELL, neve use a high quality smoke machine with bad fluid, always sepnd a little more to get get good fluid,

    ALSO you sould try the fog chiller, makes a great layer of fog on the ground without using dry ice

  • i make my own fluid its really cheap and completely safe

  • Explain where you get the glycerin lol

  • walmart, in the pharmacy its sold as a skin protectant near the vitamins usually

  • how do you ?

  • lol yes bombs are always the best answer lol

  • what was the stick thing???? and where can you get them

  • Fog machines are only bad for you if you don't use water based fog solution... :p

  • yeah, isn't it only water + glycerine?

  • commercial fog juice is usually glycol-based, not glycerine, although water and glycerine will work (just not as good as the glycol).

  • umm looks like someone needs a chemistry lesson. ok glycerine is the same as glycerol. glycerol is the chemical name for glycerine. ok now glycol is the chemical family that glycerol is in other things in this family include PEG (polyetholene glycol) which is used in paintballs also alot of anti ice fluids are in the glycol family.

  • but i make my own fog juice and i use glycerine and water and its the same thing. now what you may be thinking of is the difference between trietholene and propylene glycols the tri burns cleaner

  • Fog machines don't burn fog juice. Burning fog juice can create harmful gases.

  • Doesn't glycerol create more film on stuff than triethylene glycol?

  • indeed it does but unless your interested in fogging up a 10sq ft room it shouldn't make a big difference
