Information on hazers

Fazer means smoke machine+fan ...

I had an Antari fazer, the piston pump seized after occasional use for about a year. There older units with "windscreen washer" style pumps and no electronics are un-bustable, I have a 13 year old F-70 that is still as good as the day I got it!

I upgraded to a Vision Light Enhancer for haze, and a Le Maitre power mist turbo for fog, the latter, with the blower from a small bouncy castle blower, I have found to be a perfect garden and small woodland hazer!

The pumps can seize up if you don't keep them cleaned / flushed. However, it's easy to take them apart and clean them. I posted a bunch of pictures in the gallery of the last time I cleaned one. (Just checked - they are in reverse order for some reason... I'll need to fix that...)

I've had very good luck with my Antari 1200Z. And as a general rule, Antari has a pretty decent name. Sure, it's not a Martin, but it's also a hell of a lot cheaper!

Mo has the exact fazer you are looking at (the Z-300) and it is great! Load it with Froggys Swamp Juice and it will run you out of the room in about 15 seconds! But it would be ideal for a small club environment.

also look at the le maitre range they have a pretty good reputation ....

The problem with the Neutron Line of hazers is not the pump but the heating coil. Many times it gets clogged. Ironically the ZR24/7 claims that their hazer would not experience that problem. In fact it does, it just takes a few years to decline in output to the point where a deep cleaning is necessary.

I was using a Unique 2 on Saturday, but the A/C was so powerfull that it would only haze the front 50' or so of the venue. Great machine under normal circumstances though.

The venue management wouldn't allow a DF50 due to "equipment and property damage"

Yeah, you'll run into that... I've had hotels say no haze, or fog (even if it was water based) because it strips the wallpaper...

I've pulled wallpaper off of walls before, and if all I needed was a hazer to do it I could have purchased a couple DF50s with all the labor saved by not needing to pull it off.

buffo, you should open other things and post pictures from the inside too...
Anyway, you did a good job for that type of fog machine owners.

If hotels does'n want fog from fog machines maybe it's enough to use some pyro devices.
