Love my reptile fogger. I own a glycerin fogger, a reptile fogger, and have access to dry ice. Of those three options, I use the reptile fogger most consistently. Cheers mate!
I'm currently putting together a pretty cheap Glycerine based fogger in a small plastic container using fibreglass wicking, nichrome wire, & a 12V fan from a 3d printer part I had laying about (& I'm going to steal a bit of ceiling insulation as well :P). On your suggestion I'll add a timer circuit & fan speed control. I'll make it all as simple as possible and share when I have it going!
@@Atmoseeker So far the DIY coil has been an abject failure (juice maybe?) so I've changed tack entirely (for the moment) to THIS solution: th-cam.com/video/92v9V3s_WVg/w-d-xo.html. I'll use a 3.7V silent radial 3d printer fan instead. I'll add details on the discord.
I found some tiny humidifiers that have batteries and are designed to be put into a bottle or glass. Work via wicking and cheap. Need to adapt them. Seem ideal and don’t fog half the room :)
I love the effects of fog. It's something that brings my tables to life. I have mainly been using a normal fogger that I cool and pipe through PVC. It does tend to smoke up the room through and it does leave some residue so I actually stopped. What worries me on the water based product is I use a lot of Army Painter Speed Paint which has been known to reactivate with water. I seal everything with varnish but it still feels to risky to try. I guess I'm still searching for the perfect low lying fog solution. Great video!
SEB!!! This is such an amazing video! Every time I think you've maxed out the production quality, you outdo yourself again! You've got me over here rethinking my entire tabletop fog setup that isn't even finished yet! Side note, I've seen some setups that actually run a traditional fogger through an enclosure containing a moisture fogger like your reptile one to give the fog some extra weight. It means thick fog with extra weight that stays low for longer! Kinda the best of both worlds! I'm still on the fence about moisture on my terrain but I'm certainly more open to trying it out after seeing your tests here!
Cheers mate! Always love seeing your table setups on your streams. That's really interesting about combo-ing fogs, I'll have to try that out. One of the take-aways from this video is also all the dispersal ideas, they'll translate to whatever fog method you use. One thing I really wish this fogger had is a puffer mode. Having it turning it off and on at intervals would stretch out any moisture buildup. Maybe something could be rigged up with a timer...
@@Atmoseeker That's a great point! My new setup (that's nearly finished) utilizes a series of pneumatic lines that I've built into the edges of the table running out from an ice chest with 10 ice packs sat within 3d-printed holsters for them. It's not too unlike your pipes with holes drilled in them! The main issue I've been battling has to do with not enough pressure from the fog unit to push the fog through the ice chest and pneumatic lines without it back feeding into the machine. I think I've solved the issue but I probably won't have time to test it out until next week.
I wish I had a bigger table for these sorts of things. I usually only have a 2 foot by 2 foot space at best and I worry of getting things too wet or messing up their paint.
Hey boss, with the fogger, have you tried something like pre-filter sponges for aquariums or pet water fountains? I don't have a fogger (yet) but theoretically, it should allow the fog through, but capture any moisture buildup
Yes! I've just started using these and they work really well. They mostly act as a good decelerator. They don't capture all moisture, but the effect is pretty cool. You can see it's effect in the latest cave atmosphere video th-cam.com/video/n-I_pSP2US4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sGuKhz5YBIjtzX_Q
Holy hippogriff! I need to get and build one for myself too. Really good stuff! I do have one question though: whats the sound level on that humidifier? Is the fan annoyingly loud and could potentially ruin the immersion of your encounters? I recently bought a small smoke machine and the fan on that thing is way too loud for my taste and the smoke liquid residue is not something I want to expose to my miniatures and terrain.
Unfortunately the oils are from one of the folks in the Atmoseeker discord. (I don't think they're for sale normally) However you might be able to get something in the ball park with "rainforest" or wood like scents. This fogger is pretty effective at distributing scent.
Thanks for watching! Yeah a bunch of these dispersal methods will work with traditional foggers. It has made me wanna revisit the ole fog chiller again with some improvements
Here is an idea btw, for any future tests. Use a box of ice (I found chiller box at thingiverse and learned it from there), by where fogger smoke come out, it makes it denser, lasts longer and it seems to be much better.
Hey mate! Yeah I've been using connectors for 18mm wide pipes. Or if you can 3d print, I've got some attachments from the pipes video to connect the hosing. (Linked in the description) th-cam.com/video/KgGvLPmQPk4/w-d-xo.html
do you know if using cold water (like.. storing it in the fridge before the session) make the fog be colder and thus lay lower? thats something i would like to test but i dunno if it would have any effect at all :D

Just wondering what size PVC pipe you use? and how do you keep the pipe from coming out the top out of the unit!. Love the videos much love from the UK
Thank you so much! I use half inch (15mm) pipes, and the pipe fits into the pipe joiners (T joints, elbow, etc) if you widen the hose with a bit of duct tape on the end. This would make it sit snugger into the unit as well.
I can't say for sure, but I'd be careful with electronics like that. I've used it on a monitor setup, but that was mostly for a sparse fog effect. For anything denser, probably protecting the monitor with a sheet of acrylic or glass would do the trick.
Not sure, the humidifier is made for use with water. I am currently working on using it as a coolant with a regular smoke machine for heavy fog (currently in early access on Patreon)
I recently bought a € 35,- fog machine (AAA battery charged) and it was a total piece of junk. Refilling was a nightmare, it was extremely noisy and it stopped working after only two uses. This looks much more promising! Too bad it takes up so much space on the table.
Sorry to hear about that sucky smoke machine. I usually have this guy sitting under the table as the hose pipe is long enough to reach easily. The tank holds about 4-5 litres of water so it can run 10+ hours.
@@Lauwe_Kwark yeah the folks that make the fog monster either seem to be out of production or out of stock. the website's here if you wanna check it out www.realgamefx.com/
Moisture based foggers shouldn't be used in this hobby space, why people continue to try and push them, instead of coming up with an easily built, at home glycerin based fogger is beyond me. Vape pen foggers suck because they can only hold a small amount of glycerin, and can only be run for short bursts of time. Come up with a small, glycerin based fogger with a giant tank that can run for 3-4 hours straight, and be ADJUSTABLE, and you've got a million view video.
Thanks for the input! You're more than welcome to not use water based foggers. Glycerine based foggers can be great for the hobby, in fact one of my most popular videos is how to use a cheap smoke machine. My goal is to show options for tabletop atmosphere, and water based ones are now cheap and accessible.

@@Atmoseeker couldnt you do this with the streamdeck and smart plugs? have it turn on and off on intervals of a few seconds?
this is great! :) was looking for something similar for a 40k necron table.
Could you do a follow-up video if you are able to find more products protect your terrain and miniatures?
Sounds like a great idea!

What size is the hose from the fogger?
What reptile fogger did you use?
Hey yeah it's the Fenteer brand fogger, but there's also an affiliate link in the description 👍
What are those round walls, and where do one get those?
Oh the one with the little forest? I made that one from some EVA foam mats and hot glue.
@@Atmoseeker it looked like a plant bowl, i assumed foam would react to water mist, or did you seal it somehow?
@@elio8 nah EVA foam doesn't have issues. It's the same material for camping/gym mats so it's pretty weather resistant
Happy to show it in better detail in next week's stream or something if you're keen to see how it's constructed
its awesome having safer fog options for some of my players who have asthma
ok i'm for sure getting one of these some time soon

What is the diameter of the foggers exit?
The outer diameter of the hose is about 22mm. If you're just shy a few mm, you can run some tape around the rim to make it a snugger fit.
Your videos are masterpieces !!!!
Thanks a bunch mate 🤘

Maybe use a pinboatd to disperse just paint it black
