Smoke Machines for DJs, Parties and Stage Productions

Smoke machines, also known as fog machines, produce visible clouds that add atmosphere and make beams from lasers, moving heads and other lighting fixtures easier to see.

Our range covers compact machines for home parties and mobile DJs through to high-output professional foggers for nightclubs, theatres, live events and stage productions. Available brands include ADJ, Algam Lighting, Antari, Eliminator, elumen8, Equinox and QTX.

Choosing the Right Smoke Machine

The best smoke machine depends on the size of the space, the density of fog required and how the effect will be controlled.

Compact smoke machines are suitable for private parties, smaller mobile DJ setups and occasional use. Their smaller cabinets are easy to transport, while wired or wireless remote controls provide straightforward manual operation.

Medium and high-output fog machines are better suited to larger function rooms, venues and stage productions. These models generally offer larger fluid tanks, increased output and faster recovery between bursts. Heater wattage is useful when comparing machines, but output volume, warm-up time, reheat time and fluid consumption should also be considered.

Standard, Vertical and Low-Lying Fog Effects

A conventional smoke machine projects a horizontal cloud of fog into the room. This is a versatile choice for enhancing lighting or creating dramatic bursts during an entrance or performance.

Vertical fog machines fire the effect upwards and are often combined with coloured LEDs to create a CO2-style plume without using a pressurised gas cylinder. They are particularly effective for DJ performances, stage reveals and timed lighting effects.

Low-lying fog machines cool the output so that it remains closer to the floor, producing a ground-hugging effect for weddings, theatres and special events. These machines may require dedicated low-fog fluid, ice or another cooling method depending on the model.

Combination fog and haze machines provide adjustable output for users who want both visible fog bursts and a lighter atmospheric effect. For a consistently fine mist designed mainly to reveal lighting beams, explore our dedicated haze machines.

Remote, Timer and DMX Control

Basic smoke machines commonly include a wired or wireless remote for manually triggering the effect. Models with timer functions can automatically produce fog at selected intervals, which is useful when maintaining an atmosphere throughout an event.

DMX-compatible smoke machines can be integrated into a wider lighting system. Depending on the model, DMX may control output volume, timing, fan speed, LED colours or individual operating modes.

When coordinating fog with your show, browse our wider selection of professional lighting, including moving heads, lasers, lighting bars and stage lighting.

Choosing the Correct Smoke Fluid

Always use the fluid type recommended for the individual machine. Most conventional foggers use water-based smoke or fog fluid, but low-level machines, fazers and specialist effects may require a particular formulation.

Light, medium and dense fluids produce different levels of visibility and persistence. A lighter formulation disperses more quickly, while a dense or long-lasting fluid produces a thicker effect that remains visible for longer.

Do not mix different fluids or substitute an unapproved formulation. Incorrect fluid can reduce performance, cause excessive residue or damage the heater and pump. Compatible smoke fluids and fragrances are available alongside the machines in this category.

Smoke Machine Maintenance

Regular care helps maintain consistent output and reduces the risk of blocked fluid lines. Keep the reservoir closed when the machine is not being filled and prevent dust, dirt or other liquids from entering the tank.

Do not run the pump without fluid unless the machine has suitable low-fluid protection. After use, allow the unit to cool before packing it away and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and storage.

Using Smoke Machines Safely

Smoke machines should be used with suitable ventilation and positioned so that the hot nozzle and output are kept away from people, fabrics and equipment. Allow the machine to reach its operating temperature before use and maintain the specified clearances around air vents and hot surfaces.

Fog can activate smoke detectors and other fire-safety systems. Always obtain permission from the venue and discuss the effect with the person responsible for fire safety before use. Detection equipment must not be disabled without the correct authorised procedure and appropriate safety arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a smoke machine the same as a fog machine?

A: Yes. The terms are commonly used interchangeably for machines that heat fluid to produce a visible atmospheric cloud.

Q: What is the difference between a smoke machine and a haze machine?

A: A smoke machine produces thicker, more visible clouds for dramatic effects. A haze machine creates a finer and more evenly distributed atmosphere designed to reveal lighting beams.

Q: What size smoke machine do I need?

A: Compact machines are suitable for parties and smaller DJ setups. Larger venues and stages generally require higher output, quicker recovery and a larger fluid tank.

Q: Can a smoke machine be controlled by DMX?

A: Selected models include DMX control, while others use wired remotes, wireless remotes or onboard timers. Check the individual product specification for its available control methods.

Q: Can I use any smoke fluid?

A: No. Use the type and formulation recommended by the machine manufacturer. Specialist low-fog, haze and vertical-effect machines may require a specific fluid.

Q: Will a smoke machine activate a fire alarm?

A: It can. Atmospheric effects may trigger smoke detectors, so permission and suitable arrangements must be agreed with the venue before use.

Q: Are smoke machines safe to use indoors?

A: They are designed for controlled indoor use when operated according to their instructions with approved fluid, suitable ventilation and adequate clearance. Never direct the hot output towards people or nearby objects.
