In the venues I've regularly worked at in this town, the only one I've had consistent success with is the CO2 hazers. MDG in those cases. The reason is that all the places have air condition right above the stage, and even when they run the AC fans at low RPM, the haze disappears quickly. That means the water based hazers never settle for long enough to become even, so I only have those very obvious, uneven clouds. The CO2 hazers, however, create such a fine mist that it doesn't matter. I can push it, but it never becomes this obvious cloud. Even if the AC is too aggressive and the haze doesn't get the opportunity to settle all across the stage, in the places that it does settle, it's still even and nice. So the water-based hazers really only work on rock, hip-hop and EDM where more is more. Then I can push it heavily enough that it fills the room and a little unevenness doesn't matter that much. Another problem is that the water-based hazers gets bad quickly and can't really produce just a little haze, it's always this obvious cloud coming out. All in all, unless there's a CO2 hazer available, I just skip the haze on all sorts of conferences and lighter music, because I can't make it even and subtle enough, and I get more complaints than complements from the artists or arrangers of the event. CO2 not so, then everyone's happy.

Good video. Thanks

I work for a convention center, and we don't allow oil based hazers because they are much more likely to set off the fire alarm. Usually on the return duct when they start sucking in the haze. Also sometimes the hazers combined with a popcorn machine will set off the fire alarm in conseccions. Edit: we only have heat/flame detectors in a location that is a higher fire risk like the boiler room, but most power technics are all famous as well as they will set off smoke detectors. Spark generators are fine.

Very underrated channel! 😂🙌🏼 Very helpful video!

I appreciate that!

Indoors oil FTW it’s translucent and it won’t look foggy in the room or venue but you can see light beams vividly at the same time

Is there a best location for position a hazer on a church stage?

My ADJ hazer produces a bad smokey smell, i have tried different scents in the hazer fluid but is there a specific best non odour hazer fluid on the market (UK based)

Watched a bunch of your videos. If I’m wanting a programmed set up running from a DAW to the new Chauvet ILS lights is there a software to hardware interface that can accomplish this?

Soundswitch has compatibility with Ableton Live

We would love to get a Hazer and i have been looking around for one, but we don’t have a huge budget and are still trying to get one that won’t trip the fire alarms in our church.

Yeahh good luck with that 😅. Unless the church installs special smoke detectors that only trip when they detect smoke AND heat you'll always risk an alarm.

'okay' :)

I use hq power hqz10001 but i stuggle with it Because when filo the ambiet it like top smokey They sold it as a hazer but I think the scam me Could some one tell me if this product is water base hazer or a simple simile machine with a fan

Hi, amazing vid. But I guess When I see smoke in a theatre show (like doing a 1900 london street) its the water hazar?

We can't say, It can be Water Based, Oil Based or co2 based

Could you help me install LT? I would gladly pay you for your time. AC

Was thinking of buying the hazer used in the video though not sure if it's overkill. I need a water based hazer with DMX compatibility for a smaller room though I want it to be reliable, long lasting and good for 3-6 hours straight per set of what I'd think to be a low setting since it is a single living room type of space. I know some of the cheaper hazers don't have self cleaning functions, have poor or inconsistent build quality and may not have other safety features like not to operate on low or no fluid. I'm curious if there's a close to industrial quality build hazer for smaller scale spaces.

Yeah, that Titan H2 like I use in the videos is about as small as you can go before they just get super cheap

@@LearnStageLighting Thank you so much for the reply! Yeah I was looking into the Chauvet Hurricane hazers but going with what you just advised instead. Thanks a bunch!

Hi can I use a water based liquid in a Beamz professional Hz3000, is it possible that a machine is only compatible with oil based?

Do you really need to consult the manufacturer For this question

I am a twitch streamer that wants to do dancing under laser light show in my room with all my equipment. Will the haze machine damage my equpiment or will I be able to do this? I plan to put a laser light projector on the ceiling and point it down and I want to dance under the laser beams and have them show up in stream but I want to know if I can do this without worrying about damage my PC, cameras, mics, dslrs etc...

For large scale, co2 but for small to medium scale water or oil based will be fine.
