Lapinski asked....
Has anyone ever bought a fogger machine from a retail store (e.g.,
Wal-Mart, Spencer gifts, etc.)? If so, I am wondering what brands
work best. Are some "noisier" than others? 400 W vs. 700 W? At least
in a store you can see what you're buying, and sometimes even take
it out of the box to see its structure, features, etc. This obviously
can't be
done with online retailers. Spencers has a nice FX Fogger for around
$25.

I had a fogger machine a few years ago. I no longer have it but
here's
three tips that might help you.
*** 1. Be sure that the fogging solutions that you buy with the fogger do
not cause allergic or other problems with any of your students in a
closed room.
*** 2. Be sure that the doors are closed and the air in the room is
relatively still or the fog will be rapidly dissipated and useless for
demos.
*** 3. If the fogger is to be used in a college or school building be
sure to advise the authorities, custodians, and others in advance so
they are prepared in the event that the fog triggers a fire alarm.
