Another tip if using outside. Stop mowing your lawn a few weeks ahead of Halloween and wet the lawn before using the fogger. It helps the fog to stick around a bit longer.

I've done this for haunted houses before and the method works great. One suggestion is to wet the outside of the frozen bottles before tossing them in the duct. It amplifies the effect a lot more.

The idea's been around for a long long time he just presented it very well & concisely and got great indoor results. for how long though I 'd guess less than 30 min before the water bottles melted. he didn't say. I wish people would say "this is an idea I found online and this is my version or this is how you do it.' but they don't. others use perforated gardening hose duct taped on the end for back pressure with or without water bottles including the guys who invented the trash can chiller ghostofhalloween I was the one who thought of the coleman ice cube DIY vortex chiller while walking thru walmart. I didn't have a cat so didn't want to get a kitty litter pail people used to mmic the real vortex product In hindsight I just would have bought one of those but DIY is too much fun but also too time consuming. DIY-ers just have to make things harder than they need to be to 'save money' and put their own stamp on it including reversing the fog flow lol I almost tried this with drier duct but use the trash can version these days. I also use a 5 gallon bucket to a cauldron.

Right? All you need is a fog machine to make fog!

I MUST HAVE SEEN 100 WAYS TO DO THIS, BUT THIS IS THE BEST AND EASIEST ONE!!

IMPORTANT: you should leave a gap between fog machine and pipe! This draws in air to the mix before it enters pipe, creating more fog and less moisture problems! Moisture in pipe is a failure of the system. you want maximum FOG (keep it in a gasous state) and not allowing condensation to form it back into a liquid state.

First how long does this last before you have to replace ice bottles and second should you elevate the fog machine to eliminate the gathering of the moisture

Short, sweet, simple, to the point. I salute you. This is probably $30 cheaper than the rig I was going to build. Will use that money to supercharge the fog.

I actually did this and it's a genius way and it works. Paid 6 bucks for the same flexible pipe. I'm using it with ADJ Fog Furry 1000. Works better than my Mister Kool. Thanks!

Great short, and to the point video! I made something similar except I capped, taped, the end and used a drainage pipe with holes so the fog pours out the side rather than the end. Works well if placing along a wall, fence line, or under bushes.

Absolutely amazing mate! I have a wedding to DJ at in a couple of days and they wont allow smoke machines as the smoke rises up and fills the room. They will allow dry ice and fog machines which this method emulates. Tried it out last night and it works brilliantly! Thank you sir. The people on the dance floor will now have that dancing on the clouds effect which is what I was after! And will make my lights look great also.

Yo, make that homemade fog fluid tutorial before Halloween!!

Let it run for a bit longer. While there is cold air in the tube, and the bottle plastic is cold, it will look great. Once the initial cold air is gone, and cold on the outside of the bottle, plastic can't conduct the heat fast enough to keep chilling at that rate.

We be keeping spooky

Pretty cool. Can I ask what fog liquid you used here?

Nope. Just tried this everyone. It does not work w frozen bottles. Dry ice works awesome use that. I did a video comparison of frozen water bottles and dry ice side by side with 2 fog machines at the same time and it’s a no brainer. I was using cheap little 400w fog machine from Walmart, nothing big. Dry ice wins hands down. I bet regular ice would work better than bottles but don’t want the mess to deal with on my porch. Dry ice is 1.65 per lb;. 4 times the cost of ice but not a bank breaker. And it lasted about an hour inside the tube. I only used 4 lbs. dry ice worked better on 2 tubes pushed together, where the ice was in second tube farthest from fog machine. This gave the air being pushed 6 feet of cooling time before it hit the dry ice. That seemed to work best.

Actually the fog stays close to the ground due to the fact that the fog is chilled. Heat rises the fog. When it is chilled it stays down.

Yes, the liquid that becomes smoke/fog cools down the heater. The majority of budget machines can't output continious fog as the heater that makes the fog cools down too much. You can make your fog machine last last longer by using it in shorter bursts, this should give the heater some time to get back up to temperature.

Genius and so cheap to do
