Cheap Smoke Machines

...What performance should I expect?
The smoke and fog machines available today are all of excellent quality, using reliable and tested technology for their smoke creation.

The main differences for budget versus professional smoke machines are the size and power rating of the heater and how long it can run without requiring a break to cool down.

Larger systems can pump smoke for much longer durations, which makes filling large areas a quicker task. Smaller sized low-cost units will be limited in continuous output time as they will overheat. They are designed instead to be used in bursts.

Smoke fluid tank size is the other main factor, with pro machines generally having much larger fluid bottles onboard for all-night usage, even from a powerful machine.

A smaller home type smoke machine can have a smaller tank to keep the physical size down, as it will only be used for short periods so fluid consumption will be low.

We have chosen 5 superb budget smoke machines that offer a mix of performance ratings and extra features that will transform your Halloween party into a fog-laden house of horrors!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make fake smoke for Halloween?

Our smoke and fog machines create a harmless fake smoke effect in the air, perfect for a range of Halloween events.

This misty effect is great for creating a spooky atmosphere. The fake smoke effect is produced by smoke fluid which is non-toxic and can be safely used indoors.

There are also low lying fog machines that create a smoke effect that stays closer to the floor, ideal if you want a creepy graveyard effect.

Are smoke machines good for Halloween events?

Yes, smoke machines are a very popular choice at Halloween events.

They create a mysterious smoky effect that will enhance the spooky atmosphere at any celebration.

They also complement party lights, as the smoke effect means that light beams are visible in the air, rather than just on walls and ceilings.

How do Halloween smoke machines work?

Halloween smoke machines are simple to set up and use, making them a popular choice at Halloween events.

You just need to fill the fluid tank with suitable smoke fluid. Then plug in the machine and wait for it to heat up.

Once heated, it will be ready to turn the smoke fluid into vapour, producing the smoke effect.

Usually, a remote control will be included so you can control the length of the bursts of vapour to create the ideal atmosphere.

How can I produce a Halloween smoke effect that stays near the ground?

Low lying fog machines are designed to create a smoke effect that stays close to the ground, ideal for Halloween parties.

These machines usually include a separate compartment for ice cubes, which causes a low fog effect by cooling the vapourised smoke fluid.

This is perfect if you want to create a spooky graveyard effect on your dance floor.
