    WARNING! Note: All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the thick consistency of fog liquid and the high temperature at which it vaporizes. However, a properly maintained fog machine should provide years of reliable use. Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly replacement and repair charges.
