Product Description

Creating consistent low-lying fog can be nearly impossible if you are working with anything other than the right tools - professional grade smoke machine with ceramic temperature controls, professionally formulated low lying fog fluid and the very best fog chiller. There are no short cuts or substitutes! Through years of research and countless testing, our proprietary formula for the ultimate low lying fog effects as we have demonstrated all over the nation since the invention of the VestTM Technology, not only creates soup-thick ground hugging fog, but the temperature-specific dissipation technology assures that when the fog does rise to the ambient temperature of the surrounding air, it vanishes so only shoe high fog is visible, instead of simply wafting up ever higher into the air, destroying the very scene you were trying to achieve. Cheap fog fluid such as the ADJ or as sold in big box stores for a few dollars, leaves unspent fluid clinging to surrounding props and pooling on the floor and does NOT dissipate prior to rising into the air. No fluid on the market today offers a more consistent, professional low-lying effect or burns cleaner than Vortex Chillers Rock Star UltraTM. We recommend Vortex fog chillers to chill your smoke as no other cube-ice chiller compares to the volume, density or low temperatures of the Vortex. Awarded 35 individual claims by the US Patent Office in multiple US patents, Vortex is the only low fog generator & chiller ever issued patents using standard water-based ice cubes to instantly flash freeze blistering hot 190 degree smoke down to as cold as 29 degrees. Use these world exclusive Vortex Volumizer CrystalsTM to nearly double the output of smoke and fog generated by Vortex chillers, maximizing your smoke machine's potential output as well as stretching your fog fluid use by nearly 100% & drive the temperature of the fog down even colder, forcing your fog harder against the ground for longer periods of hang time!

2.0 out of 5 stars Expensive Salt, October 15, 2011

This review is from: Vortex Chillers Volumizer Crystals

I bought this purely to satisfy my curiosity as to what "volumizer crystals" are. The description - to put it plainly - is a bunch of marketing mumbo jumbo.

The bag I received was basically a mixture of rock salt, water softener salt (big round pellets), and the kind of salt you use on a driveway during winter. I think the idea here is that 1) the salt lowers the temp of the ice and 2) the irregular shapes create a series of holes in the ice for the fog to come up through in the chiller.

The product isn't wholly infective - though I'm not sure I noticed a big difference - its just that its waaaaay over priced for a bag of random salt chunks.

5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff really works!, November 25, 2011

Yard Haunter "Yard Haunter" (Ashland, Or) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vortex Chillers Volumizer Crystals

I read the other review here that these crystals are a marketing ploy, but this was my 4th year using them and I swear by em because they really do work. Maybe they are made out of a combination of different stuff I could buy myself and mix up, but there's no way I want to mess with experiment after experiment when I can just get a bag of these.

When I use these I tried the chiller (this was my 4th year using the Cold Fusion) set up not using the crystals and then using them and I found the claim of 2x output to be pretty much spot on. Without the crystals, my fog was really low on the ground, but was a little thinner looking. But with the crystals added to the ice, the fog did look about twice as thick and lasted longer before it started to warm up, plus it was super white in color just like real fog looks like. When I don't use the crystals the fog has a slight blue type of haze to it and isn't as convincing as when I do.

My first bag lasted me 3 years, same as the gallon of low fog juice I bought from the same seller and I got my second bag (and juice) last year and still have enough for this coming Halloween.

I don't want to detract from the other review posted here, but if I can't afford $40 for six years worth of super cold low lying fog then I don't need to haunt my yard man! I will totally buy this again along with their low fog juice. I will never get that crappy juice they sell in Wallyworld again, as it it just rises up to head high (and up into my trees in my yard as well) and then stays in the air and ruins my entire display. Highly recommend product.
