Rosco Vapour Fog Machine — Professional, DMX, Controllable
Rosco fog machine · the workhorse
Rosco Vapour — the professional fog workhorse
The machine we specify most. Continuous, precisely controllable fog with the widest range of atmospheric effects, integrated DMX, and the reliability and easy servicing a professional needs. Built to get the job done, again and again.

What it is
Continuous fog, dialled to exactly what you need
Careful monitoring of temperature and pump speed lets the Vapour produce anything from fine wisps of smoke to billowing, continuous clouds — and hold it steady. A detachable timed remote gives local control; integrated DMX drives it from a lighting desk. A Multi-Link feature lets one remote run up to four Vapour, Vapour Plus or V-Hazer units daisy-chained together.
- Continuous, high-volume output with very fine control
- Integrated 5-pin DMX in/out — daisy-chain & master/slave
- Detachable timed remote (250 s duration)
- One-step cleaning & quick-swap common core parts
- Runs the full Rosco fog-fluid range
- Rugged 12-gauge powder-coated steel case
- Successor to the classic 1600 / 1700 foggers
Where it fits
Built for control and repeatability
The Vapour's fine, repeatable output makes it the default where fog is a tool: airflow and aerodynamic visualisation, ventilation studies, fire-safety training and professional theatre. If you need to reproduce the same effect on cue or on the next test, this is the one.
