Fully universal — compatible with Chauvet, ADJ, Antari, and all other major brands. If your machine uses standard fog fluid, Core runs in it. No special equipment or adapters required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How long does the fog last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Medium hang time — long enough to create visible atmosphere and enhance lighting, short enough that it naturally clears without requiring active ventilation. In a typical indoor space, you'll get several minutes of visible fog from a burst, with gentle dissipation rather than sudden disappearance. Exact duration depends on room size, temperature, humidity, and air movement. For significantly longer persistence, consider \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nebula-eternal-long-lasting-fog-solution\"\u003eEternal\u003c\/a\u003e. For significantly faster clearing, consider \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nebula-mirage-quick-dissipating-fog-solution\"\u003eMirage\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Core good enough for professional use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Yes. Core is a professional-grade fog fluid — it's the same quality as the specialty formulas, just with balanced rather than specialized behavior. Professional DJs, production companies, haunted attractions, and theater operators use Core as their primary fog fluid. The specialty formulas aren't \"better\" — they're optimized for narrower use cases. Core is optimized for the widest possible range of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it trigger smoke detectors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Any fog fluid can trigger smoke detectors. Core's medium hang time puts it in the middle of the risk spectrum — less likely to trigger detectors than long-lasting Eternal (which accumulates near ceiling sensors), more likely than quick-dissipating Mirage (which clears before reaching ceiling level). Always coordinate with venue management before any fog use, and be aware of detector placement in your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use Core outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        It works outdoors in calm conditions, but it's not designed for it. Even a light breeze will dissipate Core quickly in open air. If outdoor fog is your primary use case, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nebula-endure-outdoor-wind-resistant-fog-solution\"\u003eNebula™ Endure\u003c\/a\u003e is specifically formulated for wind resistance.

For ground-hugging, low-lying fog (the \"walking on clouds\" effect), you need \u003ca href=\"\/products\/nebula-liquid-gravity-low-lying-fog-solution\"\u003eNebula™ Liquid Gravity\u003c\/a\u003e paired with a low-lying fog machine or fog chiller.

Each formula is calibrated for specific behavior, and mixing changes the characteristics unpredictably. If you want different fog behaviors during the same event, run separate machines loaded with different fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What's the difference between fog and haze?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Fog produces \u003cstrong\u003ethick, visible clouds\u003c\/strong\u003e you can see. Haze produces a \u003cstrong\u003enearly invisible atmospheric layer\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes light beams visible without creating visible clouds. Core is fog.

It handles the majority of applications well, and you'll learn what your specific shows actually need. Once you identify situations where Core's behavior isn't quite right — fog lingers too long for your cues, or dissipates too fast for your haunt — that tells you exactly which specialty formula to add. Most operators end up keeping Core as their primary fluid and adding one or two specialty formulas for specific use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Match your machine output to the room.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core's medium hang time means your machine wattage and output setting determine how much fog stays in the space at any given time. In a small club or escape room, a 700W machine on moderate output builds atmosphere quickly. In a large theater or arena, you'll need higher-wattage machines or multiple machines to create visible density across the full space. Let the room size guide your hardware decision — Core's formulation handles the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Use lighting to amplify the effect.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fog without light is just fog. Fog with proper lighting is an effect. Colored beams cut through Core beautifully, lasers pop against the medium-density background, and moving lights create dynamic patterns through the fog. Plan your lighting around your fog — even moderate fog density looks spectacular when well-lit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Manage airflow for your desired effect.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core's medium hang time makes it responsive to ventilation. Want fog to linger longer? Reduce air movement — close doors, lower HVAC during fogged scenes. Want fog to clear faster? Open a door or increase airflow. Core gives you a natural middle ground that you can push in either direction by managing the room environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Fog in bursts, not continuous.\u003c\/strong\u003e For most indoor applications, periodic bursts with pauses between them produce the best results with Core. Fire a burst to build the atmosphere, let the fog distribute, then fire again when density drops below your desired level. Continuous output tends to over-fog the room and waste fluid. The exception is large-volume spaces where you need sustained output to build density in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Keep your machine clean.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core is residue-free and gentle on fog machine heat exchangers, but regular maintenance still matters. Flush your machine after extended use, clean the tank periodically, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. A well-maintained machine produces better fog output and lasts longer regardless of which fluid you run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Know when Core isn't enough.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core is the right answer for most situations, but recognizing its limits will make you a better operator.

Same quality as the specialty formulas, just balanced rather than specialized. Professional DJs, production companies, and theaters use Core as their primary fluid. It's not a budget compromise — it's a versatility choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Smoke detectors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Any fog can trigger detectors. Core's medium hang time puts it in the middle — less risk than Eternal (accumulates), more than Mirage (clears fast). Always coordinate with venue management.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use it outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Works in calm conditions, but not designed for wind.

Haze = nearly invisible layer for beam enhancement. Core is fog.

When Core falls short in specific ways — too slow to clear, too fast to hold — that tells you exactly which specialty formula to add. Most operators keep Core as primary and add one or two specialty fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Match machine to room.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core's medium hang time means output determines density. Small room = 700W works great. Large venue = go higher wattage or multiple machines. Let room size guide hardware; Core handles the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Light the fog.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fog without light is just fog. Colored beams, lasers, and movers through Core create spectacular effects. Plan lighting around your fog density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Manage airflow.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core's balanced hang time responds to ventilation. Want more persistence? Reduce air movement. Want faster clearing? Increase airflow. You can push it either direction by managing the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Burst, don't flood.\u003c\/strong\u003e For most indoor use, periodic bursts with pauses produce better results than continuous output. Build atmosphere, let it distribute, top up when it fades. Exception: large-volume spaces that need sustained output to reach density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎯 Keep your machine clean.\u003c\/strong\u003e Core is residue-free and gentle on hardware, but regular maintenance still matters.
