Tarkabrown Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hi all, I am in need of some advice. Has anyone used the Antari Z series low smoke machine, as I have recently purchased one second hand for a charity party I'm planning and I was wondering which fluid I should use for the best results. I need the smoke to stay low and dissapear as soon as it begins to rise. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 The easy answer is the fluid that the manufacturer recommends - did it come with a manual, or can you find a copy online? It's an oft-repeated subject here - many of us subscribe to the opinion that smoke/haze machines should use the proscribed fluids, as many machines have different operating temperatures and can often not work properly with those from others.

There are 2-3 different types of Antari fluid all of which react differently but I don't want the smoke to rise and fill the room. Wondered if anyone had used one and liked the results. Searched everywhere on the net and can't seem to find an answer. Even Emailed Antari but got no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsabre Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Never used the Antari machine but Jem machines of this type have a special fast-dispersing fluid which only hangs for a couple of seconds. In a warm room you've got no chance of keeping it on the floor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilB Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I have used a fluid called 'gravity max' with this machine before. Was the best result I've achieved with this machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingwalker Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just to confirm, are you using the Antari Z Ice machine - the one that has two compartment units to take a large quantity of ice cubes? If so, then the Gravity mix or DNG fluids are best for its use - the usual suspects should be able to sell you a 5 ltr bottle. Stage Electrics do it for around £20 plus VAT.

I have just ordered some gravity max, thanks for your help..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
