Newb question about fog machine.

Yes fog can leave a residue if it is concentrated enough. Thourough, regular cleaning might help with this. I'm not sure if fog can ruin furniture or not. I suppose it can make a mess if you let it build up enough.

If you can ventilate the smoke and keep it moving, I'd say give it a few demos and see what happens. I would think that if the fog has a chance to settle, residue issues may arise quicker.

A hazer may be a better option for you, particularly in your home. Fog tastes bad and can irritate your eyes. Plus, you need to keep fogging repeatedly in order to maintain enough atmosphere to see your lights. Guests might find fog rather annoying.

Hazers produce a much finer 'haze' and is easy to see through, and doesn't taste or smell either. Also, it produces little to no residue if used properly. The best part is, you can see your lights just the same if not better, without choking on fog.

Downside, a hazer is another investment.

I would agree with the hazer option. I do a light show at a casino during Karaoke. I have a 700 that I use there, but wish I had gone with the hazer option instead. What I am doing now is hitting the fog for a 1-2 second count and letting it dissipate. It can, however, become kind of thick. If you have purchased you 700 within the last 30 days most reputable stores will take it back. Just my $.02
