Why dont you try actual fog machine liquid?

you could use 30% glycerin and 70% distilled water. better for the lungs

Does it say glycerin on the bottle or does the product have another name?

I am pretty sure it just says glycerin.

i do that too, i'm 16 and me and about twenty of my friends have tree house's. i would go threw the wood thrown out by houses being built in the neighbor hood and we would build one after the other. we also got free nails thrown out probably for being a little rusted or left over at the end. so all 20 were like free!!!

hmmmm i have never messed around with mineral oil, but if this stuff is flammable, and you are vaporizing it, this is looking to be a gnarly fireball if something were to set it off. =D

Your giving people ideas.

:D forget Nap-Bombs.. that is one helluva idea!!

Um, is it really a good idea to breath in laxative?

Mineral oil was disused in foggers for the theatre industry (and shortly after for other uses of fog) many years ago, because it's highly toxic. Many theatre techs have died or been permanently injured because of inhaling mineral oil smoke. Don't do it. It is much, much worse than smoking cigarettes.

an amazing idea, good job! Step 3 is priceless and should really be step 1. How long until the smoke dissipates? And is there any odour?

If using an uuber fogger why not use commercial fog juice? its glycerin based - and health safe...ish... I like the thought of using a full-blown propane fogger though :D I've never thought to use plastic hose to do the chilling - I Made the syrofoam/dryer hose version and works like a charm, the effect is killer.
