Fog machines add so much to so many things. I am usually using them to create a light haze in a room for a scene. Hollywood does this all the time. It is especially effected when there is light being shined into a room through windows, or a door, or crack in the wall. Adds great character to the scene. This is a fantastic add-on for the machine I hadn't thought about. What a great way to direct the fog for specific applications.

For Fog Master 4.0 you should try a 5/8" fitting that is barbed on one side, and 1/2" threads on the other. Then buy a 1/2" tap and run threads on the plastic hole on the end of the fog machine and screw the fitting right into it for a secure fit. Also, use hose clamps instead of rubber bands to secure your plastic tube to the barbed end of the fitting.

Pretty sure you could just turn down that brass hose barb with some tape and fit it snugly into the fog machine outlet. Just trying to save you some rubber bands because it's just more reliable.

Here is an idea for the Fog Master 4.0: You can add a plastic chamber (a small tote or water jug) then put a piece of dry ice inside. That will make the fog lay low like a blanket (specially for those product shots with the rocks and the watch). PS: Love your channel!

This is a good idea. You are so creative and resourceful. Very cool. It would depend on how well the tubing fits the brass coupler but I’m wondering if a radiator clamp would hold them together better? Idk. I may have to give it a try. Now I’m curious. Lol

Coool! Hi Heather! Have you tried using an aluminum dryer vent hose? They don’t make them very thin. I think 4 inches is the smallest but they are easy to clamp on and are also heat resistant:)

I didn't do that because it wasn't small enough to get the same amount of pressure out of it (at least it felt that it would be that way in my mind) So, it's why I went small tubing

Great video. Off topic, I love how I never spot much compression/artifacts in your videos, especially in this one with fog, which is ripe for grain/blockiness, etc, in the footage. Have you done a video on your output settings, data rate, etc, on your stuff? It always looks so good, would love your take on keeping compression noise at bay. If you have already, I'm sure I can find it...Thanks!

The fog machine takes fog juice out of the tank with a pump and then pumps it through a heating element. It doesn’t matter if it moves around. I work in the production industry we move these things around all the time and it’s no big deal.

I've been using the one I linked and it's been fine, no residue from simply existing in even a small space. If you get the solution on anything, it is a bit like a coconut oil feel to it, so I'd be careful for spills or drips - but otherwise safe and fine

You're going to cause way too much condensation and it will leak everyone including back into the machine. The fog coming out needs to mix with the air. Putting a tip that close to the nozzle will not let that happen.
