MicroFogger 3 Lite

$100.00

Our older, entry-level smoke machine

SKU: MF-V3-L Category:

Description

The MicroFogger 3 lite is the most affordable solution for on-hand smoke production. Using our patent pending design, it can produce a vast amount of non-toxic fog at the press of a button and without any heat-up time. It retains the same, incredibly portable and pocket-sized dimensions as the MicroFogger 2 which makes it ideal for use in situations where space is limited. The MicroFogger 3 Lite features a powerful, integrated battery which can be recharged via USB. Thanks to the extended battery life, you can easily use it for an entire day of filming without worrying about running out of power. The user interface is extremely simple and consists of only one button – press it and a vast amount of non-toxic smoke will pour out of the device! Although the MicroFogger 3 lite cannot be controlled via wireless remote, you can still use our control cable accessory to trigger it using a switch or relay of your choice. Refilling the fog liquid tank is also incredibly easy, just unscrew the metal nozzle and fill the tank using the included dropper bottle.

Please note that The MicroFogger 3 Lite is an older product, that is not as easy to use as our newer MicroFogger 5.

FAQ

Can the MicroFogger trigger smoke alarms?
Yes, if enough smoke is produced then ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms will be activated. Traditional heat-activated smoke alarms and sprinklers won’t be affected

Is it possible to change the smoke color?
Unfortunately not. The MicroFogger produces smoke through the evaporation of a fog liquid so it can only be white, adding a dye to the liquid will not change this. The only way to simulate colored smoke using the MicroFogger would be to light up the white smoke using some external lights.

Can I breathe in the smoke?
During proper operation, the fog produced is considered to be non-toxic but we do not recommend breathing it in anyway. The smoke can only become toxic if the safety precautions regarding the replacement of worn-out heating coils are not followed (this information will be published in the instruction manual).

What is the fog liquid made out of?
Our fog liquid consists of a high purity vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol mixture. These are commonly-available chemicals and may be found in local vape shops as base liquids for electronic cigarettes.

Can I use liquids from other smoke machines?
Liquids from other fog machines are usually far less viscous than our composition so if used in the MicroFogger, they are unlikely to produce any smoke. We can only guarantee the safety and performance of the fog liquid that we sell so if you decide to experiment with other compositions, this would at your own risk.

How long does the smoke linger in the air?
Depending on the atmospheric conditions, the smoke can remain in the air for up to an hour after being released. The main factor affecting this is whether or not there is any air movement, drafts or wind will greatly accelerate the smoke dispersion.

Are MicroFogger 1, 2 and 3 heating coils cross-compatible ?
Absolutely, we’ve kept the heating coils the same so that you can already use any that you have previously purchased from us.

Can I control the MicroFogger 3 via a wired remote?
Yes, the usb charging port also doubles as a signal input which allows you to trigger the MicroFogger using an Arduino or other micro controller of your choice, simply short the two middle usb pins using a relay. To enable this functionality, you’ll first need to activate the appropriate solder jumper on the MicroFogger’s PCB. This is detailed in the instruction manual.

Can I adjust MicroFogger 3’s smoke output?
Yes but this requires you to remove the top cover of the device and use a soldering iron to bridge the appropriate jumper (detailed in the instruction manual). There are 3 airflow output settings: low, normal and high. If you need easy, on demand adjustment of airflow, check out our other MicroFogger versions.

What are the exact dimensions of the MicroFogger?
If you are looking to integrate the MicroFogger into your own project and would like to get a 3D model of it to test if it fits beforehand, you can find the STL file and STEP file here.

    The package includes Micro Fogger, liquid, charging cable, remote control and spare coin

    My project was time sensitive so thank you for sending it out so quickly (and for the upgrade!). The functions are mostly intuitive but still necessary to read through the directions. The videos on the site are also very helpful. I would definitely recommend this to people looking for a small device.

  4. Wes Hanson (verified owner)

    Got lots of oohs, and a few ahhhs.

  5. Rodney D. (verified owner)

    I love it

  6. James (verified owner)

    I was surprised by how much fog is created from such a small device! I appreciate the casing which houses a fan. The battery lasts long enough to fog up a small room in the first pass of 10-15 seconds of use. I was able to keep repeating use several times before the battery died. The accessories are very cool and useful too!

  7. Verified Buyer (verified owner)

    Wish the fog was a tad thicker but over all it’s great!

  8. Robert Thompson (verified owner)

  9. Adrian (verified owner)

    Its really really good as foggers go. It does exactly what you’d expect and nothing you didn’t expect. Easy to fill, and simple to operate. The fogger doesn’t take much time to go (fast) and it honestly requires minimal maintenance… just the occasional rub with a Q-tip.

    The microfogger’s controller features are crazy elaborate (usb trigger, don’t fog while charging setting, do fog while charging setting, timeout, lock out, fog density setting…) and make life easy for people building these foggers into larger projects.

    When my fogger took so long to arrive, the salesperson made up for it by upgrading my item from a lower model to a higher model to make up for the length of time it took. He also waived the shipping fee when it took yet more to be shipped out. This business demonstrated well above expectations to ensure I not only would like my purchased item, but also to ensure I had the best customer service experience ever! I am extremely impressed! Thank you sooooo much!

    The express shipping was flawless and the support team very friendly. I ordered my MicroFogger in a rush on a Wednesday, it was processed the same day and I received it on the following Monday.

    Great product and super easy to use. Battery lasts a surprisingly long time on a single charge. Would recommend the upgrades for holding more fog juice as that needs refilling frequently for longer uses. If you are a maker, it’s super easy to remote trigger with relays using a sacrificial USB micro cable so that rocks!

    We used this in a production of the Little Mermaid to make smoke shoot out of Triton’s trident, and it worked amazingly! We’ll be using this thing for years to come.

    I had a similar product several years back and was disappointed. This machine is a bit bigger than I expected but still very compact. The volume and quality of fog it produces is amazing. I was impressed and very pleased. Remote dongle works perfectly. Considering purchasing a second unit.

  55. Khalid B. (verified owner)

    Perfect product for photography, the team was very fast at responding to my questions. The delay was not too long 👌🏼

  56. Richard Hurley (verified owner)

    I love my MircoFogger! Great product and always fast shipping. This is my second unit because I use them in my magic shows – The first one has been working flawlessly for over a year of regular use… I’m now adding more smoke to my shows and wanted to have a back up because it’s become a vital part of my show.

  57. Eric Courtney (verified owner)

    I have only used it a couple of times in my garage with RGB LED lights, experimenting with moods and looks. I love it so far. I gave it 4 of 5 stars because I think the price point is a bit high. That being said, I would still recommend this product to my creative friends.

    • Ivan (store manager)

      Hello! In order for the MicroFogger to charge, it must be turned on prior to being plugged in otherwise it will not charge at all. Please see our instruction manual as well as quick start video guide for more information about this. If it is actually defective, we would be delighted to replace it for you with a new unit.

    Have been wanting to get a one of these mini fog machines to enhance my level of nerd hobbies for some time. Specifically table top war gaming. Used it for the first time this weekend for a newly started D&D Campaign. Not only did I love it but the players were blown away. Works excellent. Price point is spot on and enhances your table top gaming to a whole new level. Can be used for a multitude of situations. Get one if you haven’t already!

    Despite the difficult situation, I quickly received the item and used it for the experiment. The amount of fog generated is sufficient, but the duration of the fog is shorter than expected. It would be nice to have a long lasting liquid.

    Solid product and sleek design, looking forward to using it during the races and at show competitions.

    I’m very happy with the Micro Fogger 3 and plan on sharing it with my photography friends. I see a lot of potential in this product. My advice to those that purchase this fogger or any of the other models Vosentech sell, read the instructions. This is not something you simply take out of the box and play with. If mishandled, it could lead to permanent damage to the Micro Fogger.
    Otherwise this is the perfect digger for photography and cosplay.

    I have been using smoke machines for a business related activity for over 25 years.

    In the past they were bulky difficult to work with and the oily smoke made a mess.

    This smoke system is the absolute best I have ever seen it is easy to use no wires required the smoke works perfectly and I’m so pleasedI i dumped my other smoke machines in the garbage where they belong.

    If you ever need a smoke machine buy this one plus they’re a great response of company

  124. Richard Hurley (verified owner)

    The MicroFogger 3 lite is just what I was looking for. I needed to produce thick smoke from one of my magic props, but I’m also using it in my photo and video productions. It is the perfect solution for producing thick gorgeous smoke for a relatively small area. It is extremely well made and has been very dependable for me. I highly recommend this product. There’s nothing else on the market like it.
