In this Product Spotlight, CHAUVET DJ Senior Product Manager Allan Reiss lifts any fog of confusion about fog machines, why they're different than haze machines and which one might be right for you.

Hello Chauvet DJ Rep. Thanks for the review. I just purchased a Chauvet Hurricane Haze 2D. I filled the tank with Black Label H20 Haze Fluid. I connected it and it has heated up (light turned from Red to Blue). I connected the remote. It spat a couple of haze bursts but, then stopped. Is the menu at the back supposed to be set a certain way?

[djmtexas]

you failed to mention the fogger in the middle. You missed one.

Do Chauvet have any plans for a D-Fi USB smoke machine?

I want to get a 1600 but I'm worried about the fluid consumption, if I turn down the output will I still have a reasonable amount of fog with low consumption?

I love Chauvet more than ADJ when it comes to LIghts. But i ended up buying two ADJ Fog Fury Jets. I picked this feature cause it can go vertical, horizontal and upside down. I got it also because it has LED's and is DMX linkable. Only your 3 biggest Foggers here have DMX .

HELP ! HELP ! Hi there. I want to buy a powerful fog machine that will allow me to put deodoriser, disinfectant or sterilising liquid to create both fog and haze and fumigate my car and my garage. Can you advise me on which machine I should buy that will allow me to do this. Much appreciated.

Can the Hurricane 1000 be controlled with the Obey 70 Trigger? Thank you.

[ryanmo]

I used to have a 1800 flex I returned it because it was overkill even for large gyms

Hey Chauvet! Can you do a video comparing the Hurricane 1301 and the 1302?

[pomai]

How long the machine normally last? 5 years? Can I use haze with the 1600?

[diegorey]

Which one of these machines is for low lying fog ?

[rollerskater]

This is a master class on how not to display products for a promotional video, right?

[gruesomeshadow]

When ever I turn the output down on the Hurricane 1302 using the remote it makes a ticking sound but when I turn it up all the way it sounds normal. Is this supposed to happen?

Good intro between fog and haze. Now I know! 👍

When the FC-T Variable output is used. Does the fog output mimic a lower wattage/cfm fogger? ie. Will dialing down a 1200 (1, 180W & 18k cfm) produce a similar output effect to a Chauvet 1000 (740W & 10k cfm) or Chauvet 901(670W & 4k cfm)?  If so at what output dial settings? 

That would be based all things being equal as if the machines were in a controlled Chauvet test setting. Independent of what my use would be. 

Why I ask: I have a 901 for a small effect. I'm trying to decide between a 1000 or 1200 without actually having to buy both to compare. I do know how the 901 and refurbished 1200 output compare at normal operation full blast. I uploaded a comparison vid last year because the FC-T three dial didn't work on a refurbished unit. It would continuously output fog unless I unplugged the remote. (Someone said theirs did that too. I've watched two recent vids in which the variable output did work) My refurb 1200 did work with the FC-T two dial.  I returned the 1200. Bottom line I couldn't compare the 901 to a 1200 with output dialed down.  

I have to assume a brand new 1200 with the FC-T three dial would allow variable output. 

The full blast 1200 was super cool but was too much fog too far too fast for my application is what I'm concerned about. But what should I expect if dialing down the output compared to the other foggers I mentioned? 

Thanx! 

P.S. There are no dealers in the area for a demo.

I have a hurricane 800 ... I put fog fluid in it... Gurgle ... I put vinegar in it to unclog it ... Gurgle ... What do I do ?

[superrupert]

I have the chauvet 1300 fogger. Is this fog machine capable of running on 230 volts. on the back the fuse says 120 volts. but the manual say it can do both 120 and 230 volts. want to be sure before I do anything. any input would be great. thanks.

I love these units but I live in Canada and had to go to "Giggles" for one very cheap unit which lasted all of one night. where in Canada can we find these units? Walmart hasn't a clue as to what these are!!
