I made this type of chiller a few years ago. It's main flaw is that it can't handle a large amount of fog at once. What we saw in the video was most probably a 400W fog machine that produces approximately 1,200 cubic feet per minuet. My 700W fogger produces 3,200 cubic feet per minuet. The fog traveled through the vent pipe so fast that it didn't stay cold. The best high capacity design is to have a PVC frame with wire mesh on top. A pipe goes through the middle.
@-RIDEITLIKEYOUSTOLEIT- YES this is true! The fog needs to mix with the air to really create a lot of fog. If you do as he did, your machine will not create as much fog. Just leave the machine 3"-4" back from the inlet and 95% of the fog will shoot in, the remaining 5% will drift away. However, you will have 50% more fog going into the chiller.
@@neuronoc.7343 NO! The fog MUST mix with a ton of air first. I know it seems counterintuitive for it not to be connected, BUT, leaving it 3"-4" back produces so much more fog, that it is not even close. I used to connect them and one night I forgot to and could not believe how much more fog was being generated. Do a test yourself, you will be shocked.
Allowing an air gap between your fog machine and the inlet hose will create massive output increases. The gap creates a venturi effect and trust me when I say the results will speak for themselves.
would it be alright if the holes were higher?...because when the ice melts won,t it leak water through the holes...just curiuos....but LOOVE your idea...gonna try it this october
To get a similar effect you can use a vaccum cleaner hose and stick straws in it until the complete opening is full of straws. Put this hose on your smoke machine. It isn't as good as using ice but its better when you didn't have the space for such a big device.
Keep in mind that you can use the same trash with the holes exactly where her put them. Once the chiller is filled with ice, the fog will be pumped through the pipe and will hit the lid and be forced down through the ice. It will travel through the wire mesh and will escape through the second hole. These types of chillers can easily handel large capacity fog machines.
Heavier thicker but for the money not necessary I really isn't that big of a difference and it cost you a lot more to fill you want a good surface area first smoke and fog you don't want to filter the fog her to be 125 to go straight through ice the whole point is to chill the fog so it stays low running it through the pipe doesn't get that enough contact that's a stupid stuff that shouldn't be included in take the pipe out and shoot it into the garbage can full of eyes to get a lot better effect
Nice thing, but the only question what I have : If you put ice into the box, the ice is melting after a while.. if that water is going into your fog machine.. I think you have some problems then??
i used a tote, and sat the machine on top, and spiraled the vent down, so you can fill the vent with ice, and with the center of the spiral open a lot of ice can fit in ther and get it really cold
I am following this design but wonder if using 3" hose that's a little longer would provide more chilling surface but allow for a small can and less ice...thoughts?
I’m using a tote box abt 29 qts. I’m curious to know how big the box should be. ‘T boc is almost as big as the tote but it doesn’t seem to work. Hiw small of a box should I use?
Brilliant design imma use my 2000w fogger I'm getting for my DJ setup will be intense but cool for Halloween I'm use two par cans for green lighting effects aswel
yes that would work, BUT there is a simpler and cheaper way of doing it take a foam cooler cut a hole big enough for your fog machine front to go in put the machine in it tape around the outside put ice pacs inside it put multiple square holes on the otherside on the bottom before the actual bottom of the cooler put the lid ontop and turn it on and you get a nice effect a optional componant is chicken wire to hold the ice pacs from the output area (square holes) and the fog machie
For leaking problems: Don't remove the ice from the bag itself, that way when the ice melts it stays in the plastic and you can freeze it again after or just throw them away without having problems of leaking. Just my 2 cents. :)
I used silicone caulking to seal up around the dryer duct and it seemed to prevent melting ice from leaking. I haven't tried it in my haunted house yet, but I hope it will help make my graveyard creepier!
i don't know if anyone can help. I basically did a similar fog cooler. the fog machine is a 1000w. instead of attaching it to a box, i have it funning through a small plastic pumpkin head where it flows through the mouth of the pumpkin. However, huge problem, the smoke barely comes out of the pumpkin. and it doesn't lay low (and im using ground fog) I shortened the piping by about half and similar results. there doesn't seem to be any leaking. and when the smoke machine is on by itself, there is a great amount of smoke coming out...wtf? thoughts?
@RyanAndMike97 Watch until the end of the video. Normal fog machine produce room-temperature fog which stays around waist-level. Because of the added ice, the fog gets colder and stays around low-ankle level.
*suggestion* If you buy a few chauvet par 38 lights, and a Obey 3 by chauvet and some dmx cabels (you need as many dmx cables as you need lights) and set the lights to purple, it may make the fog look like its glowing under a blacklight. I have not tested this so I don't know if tis true... But its something cool to try out!
Hi there, I am wondering if the hole at the bottom of the bin is less than 2 inches off the floor and you are putting ice into it. When the ice melts wouldn't it leak through? :) xx
Don't tape the vent to the machine. The fog machine needs to pull in the surrounding air at the tip. Also, you can get a 4" inline duct fan to pull the fog through if that is a problem for you.
I thought if I didn't tape the hose to the machine that some fog would leak out, but the fog machine shoots out a small quantity of smoke at high pressure. Leave a gap so that the surrounding air can go into the hose along with the smoke. Also, the tip gets really hot. (My machine is 1200 amps.)
Buy the EF 400 from eliminator lighting off of amazon. BUT DO NOT use the fog juice it comes with. Use Chauvet high density fog juice! After 40 seconds of the fogging it can do, it will fill the room pretty well on the ground! Enjoy!
these are awesome.. but let me tell you.. check your fog machine watt capacity.. we burnt ours out doing this.... be careful...we hooked up a pipe about 10 feet long with drill holes all over.. the fog came out nice in a even flat area but after a while it stopped the machine burnt up.. this year im gona buy the 7 dollar ducting mateiral, get a box, and make it better and easier on teh machine
@TheNerfinator101 well he should put it on a big piece of wood with wheels to make it portable and add a velt or something to drain the water out. u can drain it while the ice melts or after it melts. the stand elevates the garbadge can so u can add something to catch the water.
Someone should put this in a server room and when someone walks in say "welcome to the Cloud".
hilarious!
Would be interesting to see how it'd work out in that heat and with so many fans trying to dictate airflow, until all of the servers died of course.😥

Don't tape the fog machine onto the duct, you need the air to hit the solution to create more fog.

@@SynergyAVE You could also simply cut venting holes into the intake hose, yeah?

You always want to leave about 2-3in between the intake pipe and the fogger for good airflow.

9 years ago

this is proberly the best project from the weekend projects
Best tutorial efficient and to the point!
would it be alright if the holes were higher?...because when the ice melts won,t it leak water through the holes...just curiuos....but LOOVE your idea...gonna try it this october
you buy one?

How long does the fog stay on the ground for? Does it fully disperse by the time it warms up? (That would be ideal for my case) Thanks!
The best fog chiller tutorial I've seen. I will try it. Thank you
Keep in mind that you can use the same trash with the holes exactly where her put them.

RIP best make vids.
yo kip better telling about this project is the mos coolest of the weekend
I like the fact that this works with regular ice. I wonder tho how dry ice changes the effect if at all?
Heavier thicker but for the money not necessary I really isn't that big of a difference and it cost you a lot more to fill you want a good surface area first smoke and fog you don't want to filter the fog her to be 125 to go straight through ice the whole point is to chill the fog so it stays low running it through the pipe doesn't get that enough contact that's a stupid stuff that shouldn't be included in take the pipe out and shoot it into the garbage can full of eyes to get a lot better effect
coolest project yet until now!!!!!!!!!!!!
kipkay has been resurrected! bless the gods for the first good project in a long time!
YES! Kip Kay is finally back!!
can i fog a car out for like 10 minutes using just dry ice and a cooler
Nice thing, but the only question what I have : If you put ice into the box, the ice is melting after a while.. if that water is going into your fog machine.. I think you have some problems then??
i used a tote, and sat the machine on top, and spiraled the vent down, so you can fill the vent with ice, and with the center of the spiral open a lot of ice can fit in ther and get it really cold
but, will it fit at the front door or in the yard???
I am following this design but wonder if using 3" hose that's a little longer would provide more chilling surface but allow for a small can and less ice...thoughts?
this is definitely the best project ever
Wait. What?!? Now just pull out your fog machine? Like I have one in my closet that I've been hanging onto for gawd knows what and here it is!
I’m using a tote box abt 29 qts. I’m curious to know how big the box should be. ‘T boc is almost as big as the tote but it doesn’t seem to work. Hiw small of a box should I use?
what is the difference between this and a normal fog machine?
Brilliant design imma use my 2000w fogger I'm getting for my DJ setup will be intense but cool for Halloween I'm use two par cans for green lighting effects aswel
Is the coiling neccesary or can we skip it. I dont have a long enough aluminum pipe. Is it coiled bcause of the chilling process?
@RyanAndMike97 a normal fog machine will make a fog that will stay in the air. this one stays low on the ground (2:40)
Whaaat?! I thought you were going to show us how to make thee machine, but u just taught us how to improve one. But it's awesome though! Wow!
One of the coolest Projets ever.
I LOVE MAKEMAG
yes that would work, BUT there is a simpler and cheaper way of doing it take a foam cooler cut a hole big enough for your fog machine front to go in put the machine in it tape around the outside put ice pacs inside it put multiple square holes on the otherside on the bottom before the actual bottom of the cooler put the lid ontop and turn it on and you get a nice effect a optional componant is chicken wire to hold the ice pacs from the output area (square holes) and the fog machie
Finally, kipkay is back with something rather simple and interesting, like the weekend projects used to be :3
You should leave a little gap for the fog to mike with air so it gets thinker
Would this work outside in the garden?
Best project you have EVER done!
For leaking problems: Don't remove the ice from the bag itself, that way when the ice melts it stays in the plastic and you can freeze it again after or just throw them away without having problems of leaking. Just my 2 cents. :)
No. The fog cools down more if it has to bleed thru the individual ice cubes.. Rather than just seeping its way around the bag.
@crafty25936 dry ice is frozen carbon di oxide so im pretty sure thats colder, i think this would warm up the fog from the mini fog maker thing.
I used silicone caulking to seal up around the dryer duct and it seemed to prevent melting ice from leaking. I haven't tried it in my haunted house yet, but I hope it will help make my graveyard creepier!

I dont have a fog machine and i saw a the other fog machine with dry ice but i cant get dry ice what should i do?
how are you supposed to drain the water out
have to make this for Halloween!
YOU HAVE THE BEST VIDEOS!!! VERY DETAILED!
One big problem...
Ice melts. Won't your floor be soaking wet when the water runs through the holes you drilled near the bottom?
I have 3 1000 watt foggers. The output duration is usually 50 seconds. Is there a way internally to increase the length of fog output?
@duckman633 those are really your only options, but you can pick up a fog machine for around 30$, there not expensive at all
I'm getting some good trunk or treat ideas from this stuff..
or you could use dry ice?
He does. They did a bit on him on the local news in St Petersberg and his house was full of stuff.
@RyanAndMike97 Watch until the end of the video. Normal fog machine produce room-temperature fog which stays around waist-level. Because of the added ice, the fog gets colder and stays around low-ankle level.

whats a fog machine ?
Ok thats one thing i HAVE to make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never built one thing from kipkay but thats a MUST!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a real project!
Great to see you up and running KipKay! :D
Out of all the videos I've watched this is the only one I really might do
doing this tomorrow for a party. Perfect timing!
Easy to follow instructions. I will try it this Halloween. Thanks for sharing.
Can you please share the solution you used?
Kip Kay is back, yay!
Hi there, I am wondering if the hole at the bottom of the bin is less than 2 inches off the floor and you are putting ice into it. When the ice melts wouldn't it leak through? :) xx
Awesomely cool!
will this work with the mini fog maker?
Don't tape the vent to the machine. The fog machine needs to pull in the surrounding air at the tip. Also, you can get a 4" inline duct fan to pull the fog through if that is a problem for you.

120 V AC U.S.A.
Oh Duh. 1byone Large Fog Machine 1200 Watt
yay kipkay is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what kind of fog macheine?
trick or treed. great project
Don't put a seal between the input hose, leads to a ton of fluid buildup in the hose and will make a mess
How does this make the fog?
kipkay is the only reason i have subscribed
pause at 0:02 and see the ultimate kipkay.
plz. kipkay dont be mad at me i love your videos and i always do them.
i swear to god.
Buy the EF 400 from eliminator lighting off of amazon. BUT DO NOT use the fog juice it comes with. Use Chauvet high density fog juice! After 40 seconds of the fogging it can do, it will fill the room pretty well on the ground! Enjoy!
I just made this and it works! I will post a video tomorrow!
Doesn't when the ice melt go through the tiny slits in the hole you made?
how much did this cost
in total including the fog mechine
@2:51 and the 8 seconds that follow are incredible
If you can build it within an hour, its not really a weekend project.. is it?
What happens when the ice melts?
Looks around the corner again... YES IT IS!
Awesome videos from this guy. they look great on my bigeframe wifi screen!
THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!
if i buy a trash can the other parts 4 the project gonna be there??
YES! he´s back!
this is the stuff i want to watch!
these are awesome.. but let me tell you.. check your fog machine watt capacity.. we burnt ours out doing this.... be careful...we hooked up a pipe about 10 feet long with drill holes all over.. the fog came out nice in a even flat area but after a while it stopped the machine burnt up.. this year im gona buy the 7 dollar ducting mateiral, get a box, and make it better and easier on teh machine
i wonder if u can connect multiple boxes
what about hot water and dry ice ?
this looks awesome
Awesome! and when the ice melts it will be all over my floor!
Or, you could just use it outside. I guess some people need warning labels to cover EVERY base.
@TheNerfinator101 well he should put it on a big piece of wood with wheels to make it portable and add a velt or something to drain the water out. u can drain it while the ice melts or after it melts. the stand elevates the garbadge can so u can add something to catch the water.
which thing is use in
micely done so using this next year but how do i make some spare fog juice
That is sick!
I love these fog things!
Finally someone made an EASY video
I watch ∞ a day.
Do you use the reg fogger fluid or the low laying fogger fluid for this project?? TIA!
