1byone Fog Machine

This machine makes a lot of fog for it's size. But, quality control from the 1Byone company is not the best. After I received the fog machine, I added the fog juice to the tiny tank, plugged in the remote, plugged in the machine to an outlet and waited. In a few minutes the red light came on indicating it was ready. I turned it on and wow! was it loud. Sounded like one of those small car tire pumps. It was putting out little puffs of smoke but nothing that I would call fog. I turned it off, waited a few minutes, turned it back on and same thing, lots of noise and but this time no fog output. I was livid. But, I decided to check and see if the pump had a vacuum at the hose inlet in the tank. It did not. Knowing that I was going to ruin the warranty (I just didn't have the time to wait for a return shipment) by opening it up, I unplugged the fog machine from the wall, let it cool down and then took the top off. Sure enough the hose at the pump was split and the pump was just sucking air. I pulled the hose off the pump, removed the broken piece of hose from the pump nozzle, cut the hose so that it would have a straight edge, put the hose back on the nozzle and then zip tied it to the nozzle. I put it back together, plugged it back on and voila! Major fog output. Pros: - Lots of smoke. - Nice small size. - Quiet'ish (after I fixed the hose issue) Cons: - The hose is cheap and thin and I will be replacing it with something thicker and tougher. - The tank threads and cap threads are off and therefore the cap doesn't ever screw on tightly. It's always loose. If the black lid wasn't on the machine, the cap screws onto the tank nicely. - Poor quality control from the factory.
