Fyi here's a video of someone who tried a Vortex Kitty Litter pail with a 400W fogger and 3lbs of ice. He doesn't show the insides.

I'm sure it's been asked some where either in this thread or another, but can I get the chiller effect with out a fog machine? Maybe the pipes and just a fan. I have a syrofoam cooler and dry ice to work with. PM me if its easier to answer.


Never mind I answerd my own question by just being creative. I can get a effect thats just about the same with just a syrofoam cooler and dry ice. I'll update this post later on showing how it works. Pics to come.

DI,
Dry ice in hot water is my favorite kind of fog. Lots of maintenance though.

Funny story. Years ago a friend of mine got a large styrofoam cooler delivered with steaks in it and a huge block of dry ice. We put water in the cooler with the ice and watched the whole living room floor fill up with beautiful fog. I swear the displacement of oxygen due to the high volumes of co2 made us a little lethargic. Or was it the beer. Beware!

Btw, very nice fog FZ!!!

Personally, I'm not a big fan of dry ice. It's high maintenance, has an odd scent to it, and costs way too much. I'll stick to my secondhand fog machine and my cheapy Halloween store foggers, with home made chillers.

**EDIT**
Has anyone seen the retail price of fog chillers lately? Crazy.

I agree Bio. I'll never go back to dry ice after building my vortex style chillers! It was my first Haunt Forum project.

Yeah, I am a total washout when it comes to DIY projects and I was able to build an extreme 125 quart cooler chiller. It was so easy, I took pictures of the process and should post them.

The real key for me was rock salt. I spread two boxes of rock salt over the ice, and had very little ice melt. Weird to use salt to keep ice frozen but it worked like a charm. I don't think there is a more awesome effect than fog.
