My commercial photographer friend, Kelly, introduced me to this type of 'fog' machine. These are used at concerts to make the beams of light/lasers show up, and traditional low lying fog too. I like to think of these as smoke machines more than fog machines. Heated 'Fog Machines' that heat glycol-based or glycerin-based 'Fog Juice' to spray out a plume of white smoke/fog. I once had a small room filled with dry ice fog and it became apparent by the coughing and faster breathing that there was too much carbon dioxide in the room - Exit NOW if you find yourself in such circumstances!Ģ. I've built a couple of contraptions to make using dry ice fog easier.Ī safety note - Dry Ice is solid (frozen) Carbon Dioxide and in addition to being extremely cold (-109.3☏ / -78.5☌), causing instant cold 'burns' on contact (use insulated gloves), it can present a suffocation hazard because the carbon dioxide gas evaporating off of dry ice will displace the normal air around you and deprive you of oxygen. You could pull your car right into their warehouse and purchase however much dry ice you wanted without leaving your car. When I lived in San Jose, California there was a company called Able Carbonic near the airport that had a Dry Ice Drive Through around Halloween - it was great!. ![]() It was great, but you had to go get the dry ice and be very careful handling it. Dry Ice was my first introduction to fog - Dry Ice dropped into hot water provided LOTS of dense low-lying fog. Everybody loves fog, Theatrical Fog that is - Especially at Halloween, and there are many ways to make it:ġ.
