Oil injection trouble: 

Refers to the fog fluid atomizing in the heater pipe of the machine is not good, heater temperature cannot be timely and effective transmit 

to the fog fluid, fog fluid cannot  all atomization and lead to oil injection.

1. 

Using the low quality or counterfeit fog fluid, low quality fog fluid have more impurities, easy to adhere to the pipe wall and hindered 

temperature transmission result in incomplete atomization caused oil injection.

2. 

Using an incorrect fog fluid. Different fog fluid have different required atomization temperature. If you use the wrong fog fluid result in 

oil cannot fully atomization caused oil injection.(fig 1)

Heater blocking trouble:

Poor atomization oil injection is the early signs of heater block.   Using poor quality fog fluid or not timely maintenance cleaning the fog 

machine for a long time. Inevitable will appear the terminal symptom of heater blocking.

1. 

heater blocked is because used inferior fog fluid or not maintenance for a long time. Have nothing to do with the quality of machine. 

Like a car with poor quality gasoline produce poor oil circuit failure or long-time no maintenance the car will inevitably appear bigger 

problems. (fig 2)

Solutions to these problems:

Fog machine heating pipes used for a long time and then the pipe wall will easily produce sediments (The more inferior fog fluid the more 

impurities thus lead to oil injection or blocked). All fog machines need regular maintenance (fog machine maintenance cycle for 1 to 2 

months/time). 

 

Specific maintenance method: after heating the 35% white vinegar plus 65%  distilled water and then spray 10 to 15 times.

Conclusion: 

As long as the fog machine with oil injection or heater blocking after using a period of time.  It was caused by fog fluid quality or lack of 

maintenance,  has nothing to do with the quality of the machine. Please use the original high quality fog fluid and timely maintain it, then it 

can be used for a long time
