I bought a cheapie at Spirit last year that didn't work out of the box. They replaced it and the second one worked just fine.

SoCal Scare, I haven't run my fogger since last Halloween. I guess I should fire it up. Thanks for the advice.

There must be 100 fogger topics on this board. I think the consensus is to leave fog juice in the system to avoid drying.

Yes you want to leave fog fluid in the system but not the reservoir and before it's next use flush it out with vinegar and water but use only distiled water. any thing else will cause harm and leave deposits in the machine .and never use scented fog fluid either!
here is the actual process it can be found in any chauvet fog machines users manual

Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly parts replacement and repair charges.
After every 40 hours of continuous operation or when the machine will be idle for a long time it is recommended
to run a cleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and 20% white vinegar through the system to prevent the accumulation of particles in the heating element.
1. While unit is unplugged and cool, unscrew nozzle at very front of unit (fig.1) and clean out debris with white vinegar and a pipe cleaner, making sure that the hole is free and unobstructed.
2. Empty all fog fluid from the machine and replace with cleaning solution in the tank. Plug unit in and allow to warm as usual.
3. Run unit in a well ventilated area until tank is empty.
4. Replace nozzle.
5. Cleaning is now complete. Unplug and refill with a quality water based fog fluid once cool.
All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the consistency of fog fluid and the high temperatures at which it vaporizes. However a well maintained machine should provide years of reliable use.
The body of the unit may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Store dry.

Boy, reading these posts, I really HAVE been lucky. All I ever do is drain the remaining fluid out of the things, wipe them down, and throw them in the storage shed!! Now I'm nervous, I'll have to get mine out early and give them a trial run, and maybe buy one to have 'just in case'!
