Holding down the trigger button while the MicroFogger is turned on will begin smoke
production. To maximize heating coil lifespan, we recommend a 10 second limit on
continuous use after which point, it is advisable to wait at least another 10 seconds
before the next burst to allow the fog fluid to be re-absorbed. Failure to do so will cause
excessive coil wear and may make the smoke smell burnt. If you observe this, follow the
instructions in the “storage and maintenance” section of this manual to replace the
heating coil. In extreme cases, if you keep running the MicroFogger even after the
heating coil has worn out, small burning fragments of the absorbent material may be
ejected out of the nozzle.
Although the MicroFogger can be used in any orientation provided that the tank is
mostly full, we still recommend that you keep it upright (with the nozzle pointing
vertically upwards) as much as possible. This position allows the coil to optimally absorb
the liquid, even if the tank is near-empty. If there isn’t much fog liquid remaining in the
tank, avoid using the MicroFogger in any orientation other than upwards as this would
have the same effect as running it without any liquid. If you are mounting the
MicroFogger in a static position and require smoke output in a downward direction, we
would recommend using our hose attachment accessory to route the smoke using a
hose.
After each use, we recommend ejecting any excess fog liquid that may have re-
condensed within the barrel of the MicroFogger. This can be done by simply holding and
“flicking” the MicroFogger to eject any excess liquid from the barrel. If indoors, make
sure to flick it into a sink to avoid getting drops on your floor. Alternatively, you can tap
the MicroFogger’s barrel on a surface while keeping it upside-down to encourage the
liquid to drip out. Failure to eject excess liquid after use may result in liquid damage in
the long term. This procedure is especially important if you are using the MicroFogger at
a low fan power level and a high coil power level as this increases condensation of the
fog inside the barrel, leading to more excess liquid.
Storage and maintenance
To store the MicroFogger, fully charge it and turn it off using the toggle switch. Place it in
a cool, dry place that is away from direct sunlight and any potentially flammable
materials. Unscrew the fluid tank and heating coil and give them a quick rinse to remove
any remaining fog liquid. Dry these components after washing and do not install them
back onto the MicroFogger for storage. Do not store the MicroFogger for extended
periods of time (more than a few days) with fog liquid still in the fluid tank as this
increases the probability of leaks.
If, during normal use, you notice that the smoke produced starts smelling burnt, it’s time
to replace your heating coil by following the steps below:
