Support and FAQs
Can the MicroFogger trigger smoke alarms?
Yes, if enough smoke is produced then ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms will
be activated. Traditional heat-activated smoke alarms and sprinklers won’t be affected
Is it possible to change the smoke color?
Sort of! With the MicroFogger 5, we have the ColorSmoke attachment available, that will
light up the generated smoke in various colors. Unfortunately, it is not possible to
actually change the smoke color itself.
Can I breathe in the smoke?
During proper operation, the fog produced is considered to be non-toxic but we do not
recommend breathing it in anyway. The smoke can only become toxic if the safety
precautions regarding the replacement of worn-out heating coils are not followed, and
you breathe in smoke that strongly smells burnt.
What is the fog liquid made out of?
Our fog liquid consists of a high purity vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol mixture.
These chemicals are commonly-available and may be found in local shops as base
liquids for electronic cigarettes. The MSDS documents for these chemicals can be
found on the fog liquid product page on our website, linked here.
Can I use liquids from other smoke machines?
Liquids from other fog machines are usually far less viscous than our composition so if
used in the MicroFogger, they are unlikely to produce any smoke. We can only
guarantee the safety and performance of the fog liquid that we sell so if you decide to
experiment with other compositions, this would at your own risk.
How long does the smoke linger in the air?
Depending on the atmospheric conditions, the smoke can remain in the air for up to an
hour after being released. The main factor affecting this is whether or not there is any air
movement, drafts or wind will greatly accelerate the smoke dispersion.
Do MicroFogger 4 heating coils work with the 5?
Sort of! The MicroFogger 4 coils have an additional metal piece on the bottom that
needs to be removed to make way for the MicroFogger 5’s nozzle. Once removed, they
are compatible.
What obstacles can the remote control signal go through?
It depends on the exact situation but in general, you will be able to control the
MicroFogger though several thin plaster walls. Similarly, if you decide to put it into
cardboard or fabric enclosure, you shouldn’t encounter any issues. On the other hand,
metal barrier such as car doors will usually block the signal although we have had luck
with activating the MicroFogger inside a car hood, with relative ease.
