ADJ Products VF 1300 1300W Compact Value Fogger

Update 11/27/2024:After using this fog machine semi regularly throughout most of 2024 for public DJ gigs, I still highly recommend it! This has been the absolute best fog machine to have for my gigs. It’s still super fast at reheating, leaves behind no noticeable slippery residue, and works perfectly connected to the ADJ DMX Operator 384 controller.I’d like to note that I have this mounted on top of my 10.8 foot lighting stand, aiming slightly downward. The included mount is plenty strong enough to hold its own weight from above, even fully loaded with fluid! There seems to be some nice rubber gaskets that make this mount very solid when hand tightened. This was an unexpected surprise, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result!Original Review:I am using this fog machine wired up to the ADJ DMX Operator 384, so I will not be commenting on the included wireless or manual remote. This is the fog machine that is designed to work with that DMX controller. All you need to buy separately is the 5 pin DIN (MIDI) cable with male ends on both sides of the cable. I’m using a 25ft cable with no problems.The fog machine itself has amazing output with its 1300W heater inside. Being hooked up to the ADJ DMX Operator 384 is a convenient way to trigger the machine on command, and the heating / ready status is on the controller with LED indicator lights. The time this unit needs to reheat in between output is almost non existent, it’s only about 12 seconds! That is a huge improvement compared to almost 2 minute reheat times on my old fog machines.Another thing I really appreciate is this fog machine burns ALL the fluid, leaving NO slippery residue on floors or other surfaces. It seems like the lower power machines I’ve used always would spray a mist with the fog, which would become a hazard on a dance floor quickly as it is a super slippery residue that’s left behind.Overall this machine gets a big 5 stars for excelling at its core function, along with solid DMX control.Highly recommend this fog machine, it’s worth it over the cheap $40 - $60 machines for sure, especially if you plan to use it connected to the ADJ DMX Operator 384 controller.

Produces a ton of fog! Love the remote! Well worth the money. I use it for house parties!

The fogger is very easy to use, with a simple and intuitive control panel that allows me to easily adjust the output and timing. It is also very efficient, with a 1300W heating element that produces a large amount of fog in a short amount of time. The compact size of the unit makes it easy to transport and set up, making it a great choice for events and parties.

This is a good quality fog machine that heats up quickly and produces a lot of fog. It's much better than all of the other cheap generic machines on Amazon. It comes with a wireless remote control and a manual control. You must push the button for fog to come out. If you want continuous fog or fog to come out at certain time intervals you need to purchase the timer remote VFTR13 separately.

This thing is awesome. I used to have two from party city, and together they didn’t even make half the smoke this thing does.On Halloween, Spider-Man picked up my machine and before I could pepper spray him he slammed it into the sidewalk so hard the handle broke off from the force of his throw. I know he’s usually one of the good guys but I think his night wasn’t going so well, and I’m pretty sure he was drunk too.I haven’t done any repairs to the machine. This is the same machine in the video, and it’s months later. The machine makes huge amounts of smoke and doesn’t go through that much fog juice relatively.The remote works from super far away too. I can be all the way down the block and trigger the machine.The remote also has channels, as does the receiver. So I someone had several of these they could configure it so that one remote could trigger one, or some, or all of them based on what channels the receivers are. Pretty cool, I just can’t imagine any event smaller than a Metallica concert that would need multiples of this machine. It’s epic.If you are shopping for a fog machine, stop shopping. You’ve found the machine you want. This is it. Buy it.

I thought my old fogger was ok but it had clogging problems and I was never satisfied with the volume and density and I had to wait minutes between firing it off for it to reheat and make more.But this one was nearly limitless, I have a very large yard and had no problem filling my whole yard and up to about 20 feet and much of the street in front of my house with fog when I wanted too. short spurts releases a lower hanging fog (use a good quality fog juice) that was more mysterious and added the spooky feeling most people want. But when I felt like laying it on I could create fog so this you truly could not see inches past your face and my years has lots of ground lights, path lights and sconces making my yard fairly bright.I was able to manage the density enough to effectively project holographic ghosts into the fog that looked great and people (adults and kids) were amazed at how effective the effect was.We also ran the fogger a few days before to test it and my grand kids were there, I put a couple of colored can lights pointing into it to create beams and they got a bunch of really fun photos playing in the fog and lights the way you might want at a disco or rave.

Nice solidly build fog machine. Used froggies swamp juice to create a nice medium fog effect with a soft breeze blowing outside that covered our yard and part of the neighbors. The recovery time between bursts was a few seconds and the machine was able to produce plenty of fog to maintain the effect we wanted. Effects rely on so many details other than the machine itself, but this seems to be a nicely made machine and the remote worked perfectly.
