Any Suggestions ? I am going shopping for one later today. Are the models in the $120-$200US range pretty decent for an area around 12 X 20 feet? Most of these are anywhere from 450 Watt to 1200 Watt. From what I understand the higher watt the faster you can do another blast, basically same as a flash recharging ?

thanks

That should be plenty. I have a cheap one (less than $50) and I have to try to evacuate smoke from the area with fans. It can produce as much smoke (and more) as I need for an area about that size.

what kind is it? I have been looking at American DJ Martin and Rosco.
at Full Compass. Mainly because their warehouse is only a short drive from here so I can pick it up today. That and they usually will match or beat anyone else in price.

I had a cheap one I used for Halloween, but I ran the fog through a home-made chilling device to keep the fog closer to the ground so it would linger and hover more.

I'm not sure of the brand either... it's out in the shed somewhere. It is a cheapo that Walmart carried at Halloween with an internal ice tank.

I remember when they had those a few years back. Haven't seen them for awhile. I think the one I am going to get is around 50 dollars another 12 for a bottle of the liquid and I should be set for what I need.

I went to a DJ supply store and picked up an Odyssey
Fog Zone 500 for 39 dollars. Works great. Now I am going to rig an ice box to pump it through. If you are into creative lighting but do not want to spend any money, I advise to stay away from those DJ supply shops. Some pretty wicked cool stuff in there.
