I wondered if the real thing was a standard smoke machine or if there was a temperature modification. So I bought one so we could look inside.
A significant part of car washing and valeting is based on theatre. From dense multi colour triple-foam and RGB lighting in car washes to dramatic fogging like this.
Not sure what the disinfecting agent in this stuff is, but I see many Benzalkonium Chloride based liquids being sold for thermal fogging. When heated to degradation Benzalkonium Chloride can break down into chlorine and nitrogen oxides. But then, nobody should be in an area while it is being fogged until it has dissipated.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

    How do they get away with the claims??? Can I sell mints and say they cure cancer alongside traditional medicine 50%???

    I always feel bad when my projects have less than visually pleasing wiring, but then Clive opens retail products that look like that and I suddenly don't feel so bad.

    Can you SodaStream it?

    Could those look any more like soft drinks?

    Did a review of this on my channel. Interesting to see it taken apart.

    Let me bring in the continuety tester.
    You know it's going to be good. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

    We tried a number of times to request the data sheet for the fog it liquid itself a couple of years back. Lots of replies saying they would send it (as is a legal requirement) no response.
    To this day we still don't know if the fluid does a single thing they claim as there is not a single bit of paperwork to confirm it

    The secret ingredient is likely to be chlorine dioxide my friend

    Wouldn't the water in the "juice" do a fairly good job of keeping the BAC down to reasonable temps? Once it vaporizes I would expect the resulting fog leaves the machine at pretty high velocity, not leaving much time for additional heating of the BAC.

    So its a fog machine that sends you to heaven if you press down on the case slightly. Bug or feature?

    Fog-it? Sounds like a homophobic slur, but in really OTT posh. ๐Ÿคฃ

    it would be interesting if he demoed it before disassembly!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Irritable Andy says:

    Seems like a REAL good idea to make cleaning chemicals look like fruit juice. The kids will love it.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul S says:

    so, a sketchy fog machine with suspect liquid + food coloring?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C G says:

    Can fog-it be carbonated?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C G says:

    Fill it with homemade vape juice.
