Description

Please note that this item has been replaced by the new and improved MicroFogger 4 Pro

The MicroFogger 3 Pro is the worlds most advanced mini smoke machine. Using our proprietary technology, it can produce a vast amount of non-toxic fog at the press of a button and without any heat-up time. The MicroFogger 3 Pro features an integrated screen which clearly displays power levels and allows you to access dozens of setting such as autonomous operation – something which will be incredibly useful for our SFX customers. The compact hand-held dimensions of the device are the same as in previous versions but we’ve managed to greatly improve the remote control range. Using the included keyfob, you’ll now be able to control the MicroFogger even if there are several walls in the way. If you prefer to have wired control, you can interface the MicroFogger with any switch or relay using our control cable accessory. Thanks to the extended battery life, you can easily use it for an entire day of filming without worrying about running out of power but when you do, simply charge it via the included USB cable. Refilling the fog liquid is just as easy – simply unscrew the liquid tank and fill it up using the included dropper bottle.

The MicroFogger 3 Pro has an integrated remote control receiver so you don’t need to purchase the remote control dongle.

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.

Does the MicroFogger 3 Pro support DMX control?
The MicroFogger does not natively support DMX inputs however we will soon have a DMX adapter available!

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.

    Honestly, my favorite piece of production equipment I’ve bought this year. It was probably 300% better than I expected it to be. Fills a fairly large room in seconds and STAYS!(oil based fog juice) I just bought the micro Fogger 4 today because I am such a fan Vosentech. Legit using this on some big commercial sets!

    The product is faulty. I have left two voicemails and no respond. I need you help to resolve these issues.

      Hello Elliott, we are out of office till Monday so have limited access to our phone system. It is therefore better to email us during this time. We’ve just reached out to you via email to resolve the issue, most of the time problems can easily be resolved without having to get a replacement item. We look forward to helping you!

    Remote – could you provide instructions for the remote? I’d like a 10 sec delay with 30-40 second solid burst of smoke. Another selection could be 10 on 10 off puffs. Please let me know evalansberry@gmail.com

  5. Patrick S. (verified owner)

    Works really good for small spaces when you don’t want to fill a room with smoke. It can fill a room but it’s not really designed for that. Shipping took quite a while but he threw in a upgraded fluid cup. Nice little gadget.

    I have wanted a solution to my smoke and fog needs in the field for years. I wish I had this long ago. Took it out on set last week ( I am a set photographer for films) and the fx guys went crazy. I used it in a saloon scene for some portraits. Gave me exactly what I needed. I could not live now without it. Thank you Vosentech for perfecting this device.

  14. Ed Alonzo (verified owner)

    Hello, this was shipped almost 2 months late. I was promised a free gift that would be an accessory to fogger. I did not receive any gift. I also had to call the phone line and talk to an associate about late delivery. Then it was sent out the next day. I was interested in ordering cases for the foggers. I think I will look for another case company for now.

      Hello Ed, we’re very sorry to hear about your negative experience.

We appreciate that these are highly inconvenient so we’d be delighted to offer you a full refund on the shipping cost you paid and we’ll reach out to you via email to get the free accessory situation resolved! We are now back on track with our shipping schedule so if you were to order an in stock item such as the case, it would be getting despatched on the same day.

      Hello Jess, thank you for reaching out! We apologize for the delay with your shipment so would love to offer you a partial refund on the shipping cost you paid to hopefully compensate for any inconvenience caused. Please let us know if this would be a satisfactory solution.

    I use the vosentech for magic applications-it is very good. The only reason why it doesn’t get 5 stars is because this is the third vosentech I purchased. The first unit I believe had a leak and shorted out. Customer service wanted no part of repairing it or even helping me diagnose the problem-which was disappointing. I did end up fixing the first unit, new battery, cold soldering, pain in the butt, then it fried again or the cold sold gave way! don’t know-Unit 2 was pretty good, the last unit, the pro, seems to be even better. I think you will be very happy with the product.

    • Ivan (store manager)

      Hello Joe! Apologies for your frustrations with your earlier unit. I can see that it is an early-model MicroFogger 2 so since we no longer store replacement parts for it, we aren’t able to do much in the way of helping you fix it apart from offering you a discount on a new unit or guiding you through some diagnostic procedures. Our new MicroFoggers are much more repairable so if you ever encounter issues with your newer devices, we’ll always have easy-to replace parts available!

  21. Joshua H. (verified owner)

    Works perfectly! I used it as part of a costume for a person that was supposed to be on fire. The smoke, combined with a few LED lights, really sold the effect and received a lot of great responses.

  30. Katherine (verified owner)

    It’s really a cool little gadget, but I haven’t had a chance to really play with it yet, as I never received an instruction manual on how to properly set it up. I looked on YouTube for some videos, but it would be nice to get the proper instructions from the manufacturer, so I don’t ruin it. Is there a way you can send me one please? Thank you
    P.S. So, I’m not able to leave a proper review, since I haven’t been able to test everything out yet.

  39. adam b. (verified owner)

    Machine seems to do what it says, but it is very tedious to operate, and the warnings that should be in place are not clear ie do not press any buttons unless ….or else you will fry the coil. Also fog juice must all be used up before yiu put it away or else it will spill all over the place. I think the machine is good at what it does, but boy with in a limited angle and parameter. Or am I missing something?

  40. Lucas Silva (verified owner)

    Over all this is a great machine. Does what is supposed to. Didn’t work for my project. But that isn’t the machines fault. I’m very happy with my purchase. I hope they make a larger portable version in the future.

    Great little fogging machine. Build quality looks very solid.

  48. Geoffrey Binns-Calvey (verified owner)

    A great little fogger for the money. I work on TV commercials and shows, and I just ordered a second one, to have on hand if the first one runs out of battery (which hasn’t nearly happened, but on a film shoot, you can’t take a chance.) The remote control is a great feature.

  49. Eric S. (verified owner)

    Awesome fogger. Easy to control with the easy to read LCD display. The remote is nice because it has 4 different triggers. 1 at the level of your choice, 1 high output, 1 med output, 1 low and slow. Only problem is every once in a while you have to reset the unit to get the remote to work.

  50. drouet valery (verified owner)

  51. Joseph D. (verified owner)

    I was surprised at how much fog comes out with just the stock atomizer. And there is nothing like it on the market. Lots of extra adjustments through the menus.

    The main weakness is the that the battery easily drains to 0 if you forget to turn off the switch in the back. Nor is there a light to remind you that it is on. And because the item is fully sealed, you can’t replace the battery if you ruin it.
    Another minor issue, is that you shouldn’t use it as it is in the picture for any length of time. It has to be upright for the fog juice to get to the right spot. Extended use this way will burn-out the replaceable coil.

  52. Karl W. (verified owner)

    I was shocked at just how small this was. It fits in the palm of your hand and works better than advertised! It’s amazing how much control they give you, and how many settings you have. After receiving my first and being more than impressed, I’m thinking of getting a second one! I can understand why these are currently on backorder (at time of writing). This product is nothing short of amazing technology! Thanks for making this!

    Does not give off nearly the same thickness of smoke that all the promos show. Not sure if they’ve changed the fluid formula or what, but yeah – unfortunately underwhelming.

    Also, the remote feature only activated when held, it doesn’t work to activate a preset which is disappointing.

    • Ivan (store manager)

      Hello! Please reach out to our support email and we’ll be sure to make it right for you by either guiding you to fix any potential errors or sending you a replacement unit. We guarantee that the level of smoke output of the MicroFoggers we ship is either the same or greater than what you see in the advertisements 🙂

  59. Cameron Caley Michalak (verified owner)

    Love the product so far, but the communication about the lead-times and delays is fairly misleading. The product showed up incomplete (missing remote control) with no communication ahead of time. When I reach out, they replied within a few days that they opted to send without the remote just to get the item to me faster, but that they would ship the remote in a week. It has been a few weeks since, so I had to reach out yet again, rather than being communicated with… not good service. Delays are fine and understandable these days, please just communicate, so I don’t have to do a bunch of work for you.

    • Ivan (store manager)

      Hello! We sincerely apologize for the ongoing delays and communication issues. Our records show that both the RC and MicroFogger have been delivered to you as of this time. For the fastest service, we would always recommend giving us a call and we’ll do our best to assist you right away. Since your package was delivered late, may we offer to partially refund you the shipping cost you paid?

  60. Aaron (verified owner)

    Works great! As a SPFX guy I’m hard wired to tweak things and use them “off label”. So thank you for listening to all of us weirdos and boundary pushers. The fact you are willing to embrace and welcome ideas, critiques, and maybe more importantly be willing to adapt is very unique. Don’t change that mindset.

    I’m having issues with the fogger Extruder, I have followed all the troubleshooting steps and still not working properly and I purchased the pro edition, now I’m stuck with a non working fogger

    I had to wait a few month. Than my parcel arrived in January 22 (ordered in early oct. 21) I take the Microfogger to the first shooting of the year outdoor. I turned it on and than nothing…..so i press the button and fog comes out. So maby there was no info on the screen. I tried everything to get it to work, but nothing. So @home again and much hours later i decide to open up the fogger to find the Problem, because sending it back in the usa was no option for me. And i found the problem. The Display was broken on an minimal point. So for me in my opinion the long waiting and the high price were just a big waste of money. Never again!

    • Ivan (store manager)

      Hello Robert! Please see the email we’ve sent you, we will send you a replacement right away. We apologize for the inconvenience! We are also happy to partially refund you the shipping costs you paid since it took a while to arrive.

  64. Steven Deleeuw (verified owner)

    Find it unusual the design calls for such sensitive refilling measures. Something very difficult when considering when and where it’ll likely be refilled. I would think more of a one way valve system would be put in place similar to refillable bbq lighters

    The MF3 Pro is a good piece of equipment that I’ll use on many shoots for small room ambiance when I don’t want to pull out a large AC powered fogger. The build quality is good, not great. The housing looks to be 3D printed with the layer lines fairly visible. The buttons feel light and switches soft. The tank is great and I like not having to wet the coil every time I’d like to use the fogger. Would recommend if someone is looking for a flexible tool with the extra funds to support the cost.

  69. Paul Bannister (verified owner)

    This smoke machine doesn’t work! Complete waste of money.
    I’ve tried several time to get the machine to work, it has a full charge and the reservoir is topped up. The fan is working, but it isn’t producing any smoke! I changed the heating coil with the same result, nothing!

    • Ivan (store manager)

      Hello Paul! We are sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with your MicroFogger. Each unit is tested for correct operation prior to shipping so it is likely an operational misunderstanding which we would be able to immediately clarify for you if you reach out to our support email. Of course, if it is a faulty device, we’d be delighted to replace it for you. Please reach out to us and we”ll make this right!

    Very cool product. The fog amount could be compared to antari m1 fogger but in much more compact package , no heating time, built in remote control and 300 euro cheaper. Use it for cooking scenes where boiling water could be a hazard and sound design is much happier as well. steaming hot coffee and steaming air vents and haze for small rooms in a fraction of time.
    Perfect product to put on every prop masters shitliner and have it standby on set at all times.
    The order took some time to be delivered, but i was warned and the seller was always responsive and helpfull.
