This one-gallon jug of water-based fog fluid is the juice that keeps standard fog machines breathing. It is the consumable for the water-based foggers used across film, video, theater, and events, producing everything from thick rolling fog banks to a diffuse atmospheric wash depending on how the machine is run and fanned.
Special effects and electric crews use water-based fog for the big, visible effects: smoke pouring under a door, a graveyard crawl across the floor, steam and fire gags, and fast atmosphere fills that need to read heavily on camera. Where oil haze is about invisible depth, water fog is about presence, and a heavy-density fluid like this one is formulated to build dense, opaque fog with a long hang time for its class, giving you more takes per fill before the effect thins out. The water and glycol formulation dissipates cleaner than oil, ventilates quickly when you flush the room between setups, and is the correct and only fluid type for water-based machines. It is also what you want for chilled-fog rigs that keep the effect low to the ground.
A gallon goes a long way with a typical fogger, but heavy continuous effects consume fluid quickly, so productions planning a fog-forward scene should budget accordingly. As always, never run water-based fluid in an oil machine or the reverse.
• 1-gallon jug of water-based fog fluid
• Heavy-density formula with long hang time for dense fog effects
• For standard water-based fog machines and chilled-fog rigs
• Builds thick, camera-readable fog fast
• Dissipates and ventilates cleanly between setups
• Clear, water and glycol formulation
Water fog fluid is in stock for purchase at Lightbulb Rentals' NYC, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh locations and can be added to any rental order with your fog machine so the effect never dies before the scene does. Effects-heavy night scenes drink fluid fast, so it pays to grab a second jug while you are at the counter.
