My pressure washer requires a 1.25mm orifice, because it uses 3.5 orifices. You could damage your pressure washer, plus smaller doesn't equal better, you just have to size your foam canon orifice according with your pressure washer specifications in order to get the best results.
Well I watched imjoshv and he has a 1600 psi, 1.2 gpm electrical pressure washer the same one as mine and he runs a 1.1mm orifice and he says he never had problems and he gets really good foam as well
I bought a $65 foam cannon and the cheap Amazon one. Also bought this little mod too so I’m excited to see the difference on the more expensive one too
@@imraansf definitely is!! I found that I definitely get thicker foam then before and I’ve been using it for a year now! I also might add that it can benefit a more expensive foam cannon too. The $65 one I got was just stronger material. Foam consistency was practically the exact same as the cheap one before the mod. I’m sure maybe a more name brand foam cannon or expensive one might have a smaller orifice, but with the part being so cheap and easy to install it’s definitely worth the money and 2 minutes it takes to change.
@@jaydz7170 Alright, thanks for the reply! And btw, which foam wash would you recommend for Offroad vehicles (quite muddy)? have you ever used the Chemical guys Tough Mudder or the citrus and gloss Soap?
@@imraansf their citrus wash I have used before and it does a decent job if you get enough suds. I don’t typically get too crazy with car soaps until it comes to getting a clean slate. My normal soap I use for my dusty sometimes muddy truck is just meguiars gold glass. Whatever you use just make sure to rinse all the mud off before doing any sort of contact wash. Stubborn mud I let the foam/soap do the work to loosen it enough to rinse off.
Appreciate you sharing that. It’s great when you can produce more foam while using less product! When the upgrade time comes, we will know what to look for now. Thank you for checking out our channel!
I notice they also include a little metal mesh "foam maker" with the orifice. Is it just like that already in the foam canon so no need to replace ? That is if there is one in the basic Amazon Foam Canon already.
Hi Craig! Great question. We have seen that small piece of mesh included with some of the orifice options. It does say it is supposed to help make foam. Our orifice did not contain the mesh filter and we attempted to see if we actually have one in our foam cannon, but the location it would be housed is sealed underneath the plastic cover on our cannon. We might have to dig a little deeper on this one. We'll be sure to report back what we find. Thank you for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage I just received my 1.1mm orifice which came with the compressed mesh Foam Maker. My foam cannon looks to be identical to yours . Pushing the metal pin through allows the plastic cover to slide right off and access the foam maker that came with the foam cannon. Very easy to reassemble. The original is perhaps 15% longer and provides a bit more material / resistance for the water, soap and air mixture to be forced through. From the few videos I could find where the also tested swapping the foam maker, none indicater any noticable difference when they were swapped.
Harvey, thanks for that suggestion. We need to try the warm water. We have tried more foam and it definitely produced for foam. Appreciate you watching!
I have watched half a dozen of this 1.1 orifice change and there's not much difference from what I have seen,but my question is, has anyone measured the hole as it looks the same?
Okay soo far I see everything is done right except.......... you didnt use enough foam soap in the cannon to make a difference. 1oz soap to 15oz water (I got the ratios from what it looks like) isnt enough soap to make thick foam. What detailers want is the foam to dwell and break down any dirt/grim etc. I personally use a 4:1 ratio. 4 parts water to 1 part soap for a total of 5 parts. In other words 1/5 of the bottle is soap and the rest filled up with water. In this case is 6oz soap and 24oz water for a total of 30oz (which is the size of the foam cannon) Now the next deal is Adam's soap isnt a great soap. They sell a super foam soap which gives more foam than the soap you used but at $20 for 16oz is terrible. I personally use DinoWax Wash and Wax foaming soap! It's capable of giving you shaving cream thick foam from your foam cannon! And at $26 a gallon or 128oz it's a much better option, plus, if you use the link it comes out to about $20/gallon if you get 2 Gallons of soap and a little something else (like the Creature ultra plush microfiber towel) to cover the $50 minimum for 15% off. Check it out here and heres a discount as well! Or message me here for any questions regarding DinoWax and its products! People use DinoWax because they are soo affordable and they add to your bottom line just by offering affordable products dinowax.kckb.st/joseph-dinowax
Thank you for the tips. We agree on the soap usage ratio. We have had good luck with the Adam's Mega Foam giving a nice thick lather. Going to need to try one DinoWax! Appreciate the suggestion and for watching!
I know this is an old post, but if you buy your Adams Mega Foam around the holidays or when there is a crazy sale... you can really make out. I bought 3 gallons. The stuff is incredible.
@@PureOctaneGarage ...haha there is your next product to run through a foam cannon...milk,ice cream...maybe some syrup and sprinkles...brilliant idiocracy.🤣
It can be hard to see, it is not definitely not a drastic difference. (it does work though, promise) More soap would equal more visible foam, but if you don't want to waste product this option can work. The pressure washer can make a difference too. Thanks for watching.

We'd love to hear your experience between the two cannons. We need to try this out as well! Thanks for watching!

I used to have a 1.2 gpm now have a 1.85 gpm. Definitely makes the difference in the foam as well

Thx guys. My results too.
Good to hear. Thanks for watching!
It worked for me. The foam is thick er and sticks to the car now. Tested on nilfisk 120.7
Glad to hear it worked! Have fun with the sudsy foam!
Slightly better,good demo.
Definitely not drastic, but fun to tinker with things anyways! HaHa!
Its works only in low pressure washer

If you add warm water to the foam bottle and more shampoo you might get thicker foam even with using a 1.2 gpm pressure washer

I have watched half a dozen of this 1.1 orifice change and there's not much difference from what I have seen,but my question is, has anyone measured the hole as it looks the same?
Good idea to measure the diameter of the hole. Thanks for watching
@@PureOctaneGarage and how does one measure the hole as tape measure will not go in orifice 😁🤔
Should we leave this one alone🤣. Precision caliper with a very fine accuracy will be needed to measure this one.
@@anthonyworthington6495 wire feeler guages, they are a bunch stiff wires of various labeled diameters that you try until you find one that fits right
you should change the insert too, not just the orifice.
We'll look into that. Thanks for watching!

that still not really foam, more like a milky, adding more foam maker material into the cannon and 1.1 orifice will have much better result.
We agree, more product definitely has given us more foaming action since this video. Thanks for watching!
@@PureOctaneGarage ...haha there is your next product to run through a foam cannon...milk,ice cream...maybe some syrup and sprinkles...brilliant idiocracy.🤣
What you guys brothers?
Also soap ratio is way low
More soap will definitely yield more foam! Thanks for checking out the video!
i dont see a difference

Just add more soap🤫🤫
That works, but uses more product. Sometimes using too much product causes unwanted results too!
Show some details like how much soap you put and how is your settings on + / -. No disrespect your review kinda sucks😂😂
