Make Your Own Fog Juice for Spooky Halloween Events or Dramatic Effects
Bulk Apothecary is the best source of vegetable glycerin, which is used in soap making, lotions, and more. But did you also know you can make your own fog juice with it? Fog juice can be used in theatrical productions, parties and special events, or as a dramatic Halloween effect.
We offer glycerin containers in sizes ranging from 16 ounces to a 72-drum truckload (551 pounds). Depending on your needs, you can purchase a small container for one-time use or larger containers for regular commercial use. Purchasing glycerin wholesale will allow you to buy larger quantities at competitive prices. Here is more information to help you get started with your own homemade fog juice:
What You Need
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Distilled Water
- Measuring Cup
- Fog Machine
Guidelines
The basic composition of fog juice is very simple: glycerin and water. It is specifically one part glycerin to three parts water. If you want thicker, denser fog, you will need to use more glycerin. If you want normal, thinner fog you would use more water. While the process is fairly intuitive, here are a few guidelines to help in the process:
Thick, dense fog: 30% Glycerin, 70% water.
Thick, smoky fog: 20% Glycerin, 70 % water.
Thinner smoke: 15% Glycerin, 85% water.
Other Information
Why distilled water?
If you have or are renting a fog machine and want to keep it clean, distilled water is a necessary step to keep minerals out. Mineral buildup will eventually wreck the machine. Help promote the longevity of your fog machine by only using distilled water.
How do I store it?
If you buy apothecary products like glycerin from Bulk Apothecary in our gallon jugs, that is the best container for this purpose. You can also use any other empty container. Store the glycerin in a cool, dry place. Afterward, always empty all of the unused fog juice out of your machine.
