The thing that you may not be aware of is that the device doesn't produce instant fog when you turn it on. This design of fog machines have a heating element that heats a small steel plate inside of a metal canister (usually referred to as a vaporization chamber) that has to be heated up to temperature before the glycerin solution is pumped into it to boil away all at once. This creates pressure which then propels the fog out of the chamber and out through the nozzle in front. Many fog machines of this type have temperature sensors that trigger when the device is up to temperature, which then turn on a small pump to inject the fog juice solution into the chamber automatically when the device is ready. The one that's on sale here doesn't seem to have that feature apparently? and you must wait until the fog machine is up to temperature before pushing a button that controls the PUMP to inject the fog solution into the heating element to make the fog. If you push the button too often it floods the vaporization chamber before it's up to temperature. Then you'll only get anemic little sputters of fog from the nozzle until it eventually all boils away again. (Which can take hours)

Connecting this device to a Wi-Fi switch will only ensure that you have to wait for the heating element to heat up again every time you turn it back on. You'll still have to manually push the button if you ever want to actually operate the device.

👍 On a side note, I do think it's a very good idea to connect these devices to a Wi-Fi shut off so that you can disable them quickly if you need to, regardless of how they operate.

A 400 watt element doesn't produce a lot of heat, and while I'm sure that the thermal mass in the vaporization chamber is smaller to compensate, I doubt that this little machine can produce much fog over any significant time frame.
I would recommend a 1000 watt fog machine at minimum (on its own dedicated circuit) if you're going to be doing any kind of fog outdoors.

Good luck 💨👍🎃👻💀

Make your own! 1 part Vegetable Glycerin https://smile.amazon.com/gp/produ...UTF8&psc=1
and 3 parts Distilled water. Get a couple gallons. With that and the glycerin, you'll have hours and hours of solution. Much cheaper than the premade stuff, Here's a quick tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEffisT_1YU

If you're in the midwest, Menards sells a similar budget fogger for $40 that does include the timer switch, https://www.menards.com/main/holiday-decorations/halloween/halloween-animated-decorations/pumpkin-ho... [menards.com] Their shipping and handling prices are terrible so it's probably not worth it unless you have a store nearby. I bought one to go with the dragon decoration they sell, and it probably works as well as any 400 watt fogger.
Menards was basically out of anything useful for Halloween at least a week ago, maybe longer.
Even HD and Lowe's are ghost towns, I was there this morning. Back in the good ol days, you could actually get some cool stuff after Halloween, not anymore.

I could have purchased these Walmart foggers but I passed, no timer no dice.

Unfortunately, I'm in AZ. No Menards here 😩

Does the remote require line-of-sight? I'd like to be able to hide it beneath something and still trigger it with the remote.

Yeah, HD last weekend was all Christmas decorations, almost no Halloween left (outside of the either/or Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, but even that was Jack and Zero in full Santa regalia).

I was alerted last night about the 50% off at HD but like you said, there was almost nothing left this morning. Got a couple large led pumpkins at one store 50% off. I just can't imagine someone paying $25 for a single one. But, being on SD, I can't imagine the crazy prices people pay for most things.

We will see if I got the HD Spirit Twins for $50, the order went into a looted store…so I have my doubts. It will probably be canceled.

How about I just get 3 of these?

Should be at least 20% extra fog right?

Nope. But When the cheapies break down, you got 3 to throw away if that helps.

Has anyone tried to use this for home auto repair? I need to a smoke machine to detect leaks in my exhaust system.

I've never used this particular smoke machine, but I have used smoke machines for exactly that purpose. I found that if you use a laser line level and sweep it back and forth it makes it extremely easy to track and detect the presence of leaks, in or out, because of illuminates a plane, a cross section of area that lets you visually track the movement of the fog. 👍

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. My only concern with the Vegetable Glycerin that you suggested is that it is coconut scented. Is this one [amazon.com]potentially better?
Yeah that looks like a good option!

2 years ago Wife bought a black plastic gutter drain (the accordion style that collapses) from HD and uses frozen 16.9oz water bottles in it to produce more fog from the machine. Saw it on Tik Tok or something.
I have this going on with this machine. It chills the fog to make it stay low and not just billow up and away as soon as it comes out of the machine.
