Smoke and haze machines all work on a similar principle, which is to heat an oil and pump it out as fog. Add a DMX channel to control it and everything should be fine.
The latest show used one but on day two it started to sulk.
Fortunately, a road-tour ready substitute was sourced at short notice. I imagine it's the kind that Disney would use to create swamps effects in Epcot.
We've fixed the slightly temperamental one. The blue light on it was flashing, as if to say it didn't have any fluid in it.
It was the little plastic tube that slurps the fluid from the reservoir. I looked at the instructions for the bigger machine and notice it has a very similar looking tube, so I guess it's a design feature that needs to be treated with special care.
