1. INTRODUCTION: 

 

The Live T26 is a high power smoke generator. Due to the very precise output control and 
the integrated fan outlet control, the machine can be used for many purposes.  
 

 

Very high output – 1,800 m

3

 / minute at full power. 

 

Continous operation at 50% output or below. 

 

Precise output control 1 – 100%, adjustable in 99 steps.  

 

Cast aluminium heat exhanger with dual stainless steel vaporizer coils.  

 

Built with the use of industrial quality components. 

 

Full R.I.S.C. microprocessor control. Software upgrade-able. 

 
We hope that you will be fully satisfied with the performance of Swefog Live T26. To keep 
your machine functioning like new for its entire life, it is important to follow the instructions 
in this manual and to have regular maintenance of the machine. 
 
For the best results, use only original waterbased Swefog original smoke or haze fluid in the 
machine. 

Use of any other fluid will void the warranty. 

 

 

1.1 A few words about smoke fluid – What is a “quality” fluid? 

 
Most waterbased smoke or haze fluids contains glycols. The glycols in the mixture creates 
the white particles that we recognizes as smoke or haze. Mainly, there are two very important 
things to remember about fluids and smoke machines:  
1: The water must be de-ionized. If the water contains minerals like calcium, salt etc; the heat 
exchanger´s pipes will first be coated (causes poor output), and finally it will clogg the pipes 
completely, and your machine is damaged. The pipes cannot be cleaned. 
2: The glycol used in the mixture has to be very clean. If not, it may clogg the heat 
exchanger, and most important of all, if the glycol is not 100% pure, it may be hazardous for 
health, as it will contain a few promilles of unknown substances which may be dangerous for 
health when heated. 
 
And there is one very important thing to remember about fluids and health safety: 
There are many low-cost fluids available, manufactured from water and chemicals with 
unknown purity. The Live T26 will probably work with most of them, but always remember: 
You will always get what you paid for, use original fluid. Why? The T26 is a high 
performance machine, and it is developed with Swefog fluids. If other fluids are used, 
remember, these fluids are not tested & approved by the manufacturer. Other fluids can be 
mixed for a different vaporize (heater) temperature or contain other chemicals and / or a 
different balance between water and glycols in the mixture. There might be problems with 
bad (“wet”) or even toxic smoke, which can cause serious personal injury. A clogged heater 
block is able to replace. Personal injurys are worse. Always remember, you are responsible 
for the safety of the smoke appliance. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible if the 
wrong type of fluid is used. 
Non-toxic smoke and the longest lifetime of your machine is achieved with the original fluids 
your machine once was developed for. And by using Swefog original fluids, you´ll be 100% 
sure the smoke produced by your machine is clean. 
Swefog smoke & haze fluids are based on pure, de-ionized Swedish water which is de-
mineralized in an industrial laboratory, and guaranteed free from minerals. It contains glycol 
of pharama (medical) quality only – the finest and most pure glycols available. The fluid is 
mixed and bottled in our factory, which guarantees full production quality control, and a 
clean fluid of the highest quality. 
 
We strongly recommend that you use Swefog original smoke fluid in your machine. Swefog 
fluids are not more expensive than any other high quality smoke fluid.
