Theatrical Fog Machines for Productions of Every Size

Fog effects do more than add drama. They make light visible. Without fog or haze in the air, even the most expensive lighting rig won't produce visible beams. That's why fog machines are standard equipment on concert stages, film sets, theater productions, and anywhere lighting design matters.

AVGear carries new, used, demo, and B-stock professional fog machines from the brands production teams trust. Every unit in our Las Vegas warehouse is tested by our team before it ships.

  • Every fog machine is tested and inspected before it ships
  • Clear functionality and cosmetic ratings on each unit
  • Decades of live production and event experience on our team
  • Professional brands at prices well below retail

How Fog Machines Work

A fog machine uses a heating element to vaporize a water-based fog fluid (usually a glycol or glycerin mixture) into a fine mist. The water mixture is stored in an onboard tank and pumped through a heat exchanger, where it turns into vapor and gets expelled through a nozzle. Output volume, heat-up time, and duty cycle vary by machine. This means smaller units may need time to reheat between bursts, while professional-grade foggers can run continuously. Most professional fog machines offer DMX control for integration with lighting consoles, allowing operators to trigger fog output in sync with cues.

Have Questions?

What's the difference between a fog machine and a haze machine?

Fog machines produce thick, visible bursts of fog that dissipate over time. Haze machines produce a fine, even mist that hangs in the air and stays subtle. You don't really "see" haze, but it makes light beams visible without clouding the room. Fog is used for dramatic moments; haze effects are used for a continuous atmosphere.

If you're looking for haze machines or other lighting effects, check out our full Fog & Atmospheric Effects collection.

What kind of fluid do fog machines use?

Most professional fog machines use water-based fog fluid (fog juice) made with glycol or glycerin. Different fluid formulas produce different densities and hang times. Some dissipate quickly, others linger longer. Always use fluid that's compatible with your machine; using the wrong type can clog the heating element or void your warranty.

Can I control a fog machine with DMX?

Yes. Most professional fog machines include DMX input, allowing you to trigger fog or theatrical smoke output from a lighting console alongside your other cues. Some units also offer onboard timers, wireless remotes, or manual triggers for simpler setups.

How do I choose the right fog machine for my venue?

Consider the size of your space and how much fog you need to produce. Smaller venues and single-room events can get by with compact units. Large stages, outdoor events, and touring productions need high-output machines that can fill more air and run longer duty cycles.

Does AVGear test fog machines before selling them?

Yes. Every fog machine goes through hands-on inspection at our Las Vegas facility. We verify heating elements, pumps, fluid delivery, and DMX functionality. Each unit receives a functionality rating so you know exactly what you're getting.

What brands of fog machines does AVGear carry?

Our inventory includes fog machines from ADJ, Martin, Elation, Le Maitre, Rosco, Chauvet, and others. Stock changes as new equipment comes in, so check back often or contact us if you're looking for something specific.

Can I sell my fog machines to AVGear?

Yes. We work with production companies, entertainment services, rental houses, venues, and individual sellers to move fog machines and other visual effects equipment through our consignment, buyout, and auction programs.
