Smoke Machines

Smoke is created by rapidly heating and vaporising fluid, which is poured into the machine’s reservoir tank. The nozzle then produces a thick, harmless vapour in bursts that are controlled using the remote control included to use as much or as little as you like.

Smoke effects rise and disperse through an area, which is best used for improving lighting effects, such as making laser beams visible, and to create an enjoyable atmosphere in music performance venues and at parties. Whereas low lying fog effects remain close to the ground for a strong visual effect.

Smoke fluid is a mixture of water, mineral oil and propylene glycerol, which when heated and vaporised emits an unharmful, non-toxic mist. This means that the smoke produced from our range of machines is safe for you to use without any health concerns.

No fog fluids used today are deemed toxic or likely to induce asthma symptoms. The risk of triggering any asthmatic reactions, such as coughing or eye irritation, is only seen when the individual is especially close to where the smoke is produced or when they are exposed for an extended period of time.

Smoke fluid emissions are non-lethal and ideal for indoor use, but it’s recommended that they are used in a well-ventilated room. This doesn’t reduce the effect, but allows people to breathe fresh air. Smoke can leave behind a thin film on furniture and items, which should either be removed or covered to protect them.

While they can be used outside, it is recommended that you first check the weather forecast. If the day is supposed to be windy, then using smoke will be almost pointless as it will blow away instantly or go in one direction rather than filling an entire area.

Fill your home or professional studio with different types of smoke for adding extra texture to the background of your photos. Each type of smoke acts in different ways and they pair especially well with lights to colour and highlight the smoke for a very interesting effect.

These machines should be placed at ground level for the most efficient distribution of smoke, which rises upwards and quickly fills a room with thick clouds. Make sure it is not near or on any flammable material as the machine gets very hot.

The output of our range of devices is adjustable and controlled by you. With the remote controls included, you can set the output duration between 1 second and 100 seconds for the right amount of smoke. The interval (break between) smoke production is adjustable between these times too.

Firstly, fill the tank about halfway with fluid. Filling it up completely can lead to spillage and damage to the machine. Then plug it in and wait a few minutes for it to heat up, the light on the remote control displays when it is safe to use. The amount of smoke produced is controlled using the remote.

Heavy smoke output can leave behind a fine layer of film/residue on items and surfaces that are in close range of the machine. To reduce the chance of leaving behind a residue: reduce the output volume for less dense smoke, ventilate the room and use it for less time.
