If you’ve ever been to a concert or haunted house, you’ve probably experienced low-lying fog.
This type of fog sits at ground level, creating a spooky, eerie effect that’s perfect for Halloween or any other occasion that calls for a little bit of atmosphere. But did you know that you can make your own low-lying fog juice at home?
In this article, we’ll give you a comprehensive guide to making low-lying fog juice, as well as some tips for getting the most out of your fogger.
What is Low-Lying Fog
Low-lying fog is a type of fog that sits at ground level, rather than high up in the sky.
It’s caused by warm air being cooled quickly by cold air, and it can be found anywhere there are large temperature differences between two bodies of water or landmasses.
Low-lying fog is sometimes mistaken for regular fog because it looks similar it’s white and opaque, with no distinct horizon line separating it from your surroundings.
But if you look closely enough at low-lying fog, you’ll notice that its bottom edge is usually slightly higher than surrounding objects like trees or buildings (this phenomenon is called “advection”).
Why Make Low-Lying Fog Juice at Home
- It’s much cheaper than buying it from a retailer or online source.
- You can control what goes into your fog juice by choosing organic ingredients and avoiding chemicals that might be harmful to you or the environment.
- If you have any allergies or sensitivities to certain foods or fragrances, then making your own will allow you total control over what goes into the mixture–and how much of each ingredient is used!
Make Low Lying Fog Juice: Ground Fog Guide
- Prepare the materials. You will need:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol (70% or higher)
- 1/4 cup glycerin, which can be found at your local drugstore or online.
- Measure the liquids into a bottle or container that has a lid, such as an empty spray bottle or jar with tight fitting lid. Make sure you have enough room for shaking!
- Pour in all three ingredients, mix well until combined and seal tightly with cap or cork if using a jar instead of a spray bottle.
- Shake vigorously until mixture is completely blended together.
- Try out your fog juice by spraying it into the air outside where there are no people around so they don’t get wet when they walk through it!
How to Make Low-Lying Fog with Any Fogger
- Materials needed:
- A fog machine with a fan. (You can use any fogger or smoke machine.)
- A cooler with ice in it.
- A hose that’s long enough to reach from your cooler to your fogger and back again, plus some extra length for safety.
- Making Low-Lying Fog:
- Fill up the cooler with ice until it’s full, then add water until it reaches just below the top edge of your ice cubes–you want them to be submerged but not floating around freely like bobbing boats on a lake!
- Connect the chiller to the fog machine.
Maintaining Your Fogger after Making a Low Lying Fog Juice
- Clean the fogger thoroughly with warm water and soap or a cleaning solution.
- Check for any damages that may have occurred during use and replace any parts that are worn out or broken.
- Store your unit properly so that it doesn’t get damaged while not in use.
