I can say with hundreds of pounds of dry-ice experience run through my machine over the past few years, to much misinformation here. The "fog" that is produced is hot when exiting the nimbus, and for that reason, when it comes into contact with a cold surface like a marble dance floor, condensation will form every time. Quick drying of the dancefloor or stage can be accomplished by way of a high velocity floor fan. I use a PATTON stainless steel 22" high velocity floor unit plugged into a dmx relay pack for control that I Run immediately after say a first dance to quickly dry up the surface. The supplied power con should never be plugged into same outlet as the hardwired plug, as it needs to have a completely separate 15-20 amp circuit. Doing so can and will trip the breakers. Each heater node inside the nimbus draws 1500 watts x2. This will be 3000 watts combined total load. 15 amp circuit =1800 watts. 20 amp circuit =2400 watts. not enough juice on a single receptacle. Plus serious potential to start melting wires. Barr, next time do some research and get yourself dry-ice pellets, no ice prepping going that route, just pour it into basket and enjoy. Cooler Cooler Cooler. Never use an air tight container to transport this stuff because it WILL EXPLODE! Keep it in brown paper bags of 10 lbs a piece in a ice chest like an igloo or coleman, and moving blankets work great to cover it up inside cooler to slow down the evaporation rate. That's what the nimbus does. Speeds up evap rate. Once fog is coming out it is already evaporated back into a gas and will dissipate. Using that method will prolong the usable life. 5-10 lbs will evaporate in a 24 hr period so get enough! There's no other way to safely get this effect with a "smoke" machine, period. Using an old school smoker with a chiller in front will cool down regular smoke and have it low-lying for a bit, but ultimately will rise into smoke alarms setting them off.

Well covered Barr. Its a pretty cool effect used it multiple times over the years. My company owns 4 of them in road cases Lol. Normally a $400 add on for all 3 first dances. It will also never set off the fire alarms the fog is C02 which is heavier than air which is why it stays on the floor. Also why it wont set off the fire alarm as it will evaporate before it gets anywhere near the alarms.

Love you crushing the ice to music lol Great Video

Whats up DJ Barr! Next time try getting the dry ice in pellets. TONS easier to maneuver with. No risk of burning your hands and no crushing required. The ice vendor should sell them in bags!

How wet was the floor? I mean during wedding how long it has to dry up for before people can safely start walking on it without falling and slipping? Does it have to be mopped or any fans used to make it dry quicker?

I really appreciated this video. I wanted to use a fog/dry ice machine for theatrics on a project I'm working on and didn't know that it makes the floor wet and only lasts for 5-10 mins. Good to know, super cool though.

extraordinary.. here in Republic of Moldova we charge betwen 50 and 80 € ( 60-100$) just for the first wedding dance at the first, some one uses that kind of machines under other brands but now we make them customly, specialy designed with 60liters of wather and 14-15 kg of dry ice (dry ice 1.25$ per kg) the ice is produced in small tubes that not need to be crashed in smal parts and with that kind of machines we are able to cover all kind of venues from small to big and also we put a litel peaces of ice in glases on fourcshette to excite the quests everybody remain imprest of all this

Can you do a CO2 gun review?

Thanks for the video man :D Really appreciate it.

New subscriber. I like your videos dude.

I WAS THE ONE YOU GOT THE DRY ICE FROM... ITS djbaddboy..ITS WAS A SHOCK TO SEE SOMEONE I FOLLOW ON KZfaq ... COME INTO MIDWAY ICE & FUEL.. IN NEPTUNE.. ND GET THERE DRY ICE ...LOL.. I TOLD YOU I FOLLOW YOU...HAHA.. THX FOR THE VIDEO!!!..NICE WORK

thank you so much, now i know that i dont have to but that one . ill buy it the other one which it has liquid

yo' if you're taking the 5 south to LA, when you're passing Bakersfield give a shout! Keep up the work man.

gr8 vid again B.A.R. only it just took me 2.5 years to find or see it but still it was dope!! Now with my past experience str8 up and things similar to this unit.... So a gino + for that tool is really on the high side of the spectrum and im guessing that USD$. I found vids on U-Tube here how to make a cheap one of those and it totally works as good for around 30 bones CAD. If ya got a good regular smoke/fog machine that has a high wattage you should be able to pull off something pretty similar to this one u rented. A smaller machine still works great tho still and u can pull the effect off pretty damn good. All ya need is some PVC pipe or laundry dryer flex/duct hose, a pail from home depot, some screen, a piece of something to cover the the top of the pail tape/silicone & at most half hr of your time. BOOM SHELL it works even using regular ICE (cubes) but a bit of a better effect using DRY ICE for sure as your cooling the warm fog with it. Check a look on the tube for a home made smoke chiller and find the results and videos that accommodate your needs or customer wants/requests for literally $30 :) Keep em coming brotha-man ur vids are always worth the watch

You should get a pair of crossfade lp2s with the barr logo on them next. Think that'd look cool as your pioneers are wearing out

Yo Barr, i dont care bout that Nimbus machine, but dude where did you get that table??! That thing is hecticly cool man! You should hire out that table bro.... 😎😎

Good Video hermano, bendiciones.

I have a MISTER KOOL. Uses ice or even dry ice to cool the fog. it does float along the floor but will get pushed by any decent air flow.

have a safe trip

Just got this bad boy. Still working out the kinks. Machine calls for 10lbs of dry ice. I’ve tried 10,13 and 16 lbs. I feel like I should use more ice or instead of trying to lower handle to medium, just do an initial dump on high setting. Any thoughts? I might be four years to late (comments seem really old) but any advice will help. Ty

Nice, I was looking into that product and love it. But I hate that it leaves such slippery spot after it fogs up the floor. Do you think the floor would get as wet in a bigger space or would it do that whenever it's in use? Also man, if you make your way southbound, Encinitas,Ca is a place to hit up for bomb Mexican food!!! 👍🏼

How would you used it during a set??.... need somebody on stand by to poor the ice at the right moment??

yo you finally got a low lying fog machine

Super

Where did you buy the dry ice from? Im preparing to buy this machine and its all new to me. Clueless as to where to purchase dry ice

@djbarr what machine do you recommend in 2024

Do you recomend any case\bag for the nimbus? Great video.

nice men

buenas no ches.para Colombia ..precio ????

What's up bro quick question how do you drain out the water or does it evaporate

Damn I'm in LA, but going in vacation this weekend

Your ment to put less water so when you leave it at the top the fog does not go off

nice

like your video it is nice I am a dj who is not getting gigs but I love your videos I have a fog machine thanks for your advice but you using fog machine I am going to be careful

How many what’s fog machine ?

Will this work in a ice hockey rink?

I'm down to do a meet up man. Where in Los Angeles will you be?

Well how about in a night club in like a stage will it get wet too

did u like the go rack?

Nice cost

what will you be doing out here in Cali?

But for events you can’t stop and turn it back on and use it That is a con

Is the fog cold? Warm? Thanks!

Danger

Dónde compras el ice dry

Can you add normal ice instead of dry ice

How can I buy this bro?

Bro i want 1 machine in india

1:45 won't come in their faces 😐

I wish that I was a smoke breathing woman

How much to rent

Hey bro where i can get the Dry ice ?

I ‘mist’ most of the video !!! lol

it would have been funny if a nosey neighbor would've call the fire dept. as it was going out your door

es la nimbus jr

if you wont i can make some pictures with my fog machine and send them to you vie facebook msg who knows, may be you well find the way to construct on for yore own use cous Nimbus is to small and it stain

Damn $1000 USD is too much. But it is cool. It sucks that it only lasts 10 minutes roughly.

Not really worth it. It's expensive and return on investment is very good. Hella cool effect tho.

come to Iowa City Iowa. collage town. your boy at king's entertainment

Me==500 like !!!

Ayyy im in LA lol

i cringed when you plugged the aux power into the same outlet

if you look on Ebay you can find some that throw the cart in for free if you buy the nimbus

do you use fog juice or dry ice?

Way too much money and work for only a few minutes, just my opinion. Good job barr.

Gees.... its a FOG machine, not a SMOKE machine...

5:07 «so lets plug this bad BOY up. BOOM there SHE goes» So the mashine is basically transgender.... Edit: Try to coun’t how many times he says «This bad boy».......

hazers are better then foggers only real djs know this

dude all you needed was a regular fog machine, and place a shallow tray of regular ice placed in front of fog machine
