Basically the Nimbus is ideal for weddings and the Cumulus for theatrical settings. Good to know that as a wedding DJ i made the right choice for what i need. Both machines are game changers though

[@samueletheridge6168]

How’s it been going ? I’m really debating on getting this, dry ice is too much but this for fog would be amazing

[@thegr8destroyer]

@@samueletheridge6168 I sold my machine a few months ago. I loved it, it just wasn’t selling as much as I had hoped. And more and more places are starting to ban it because it makes the floor wet after use and they don’t like that so I had to. It was taking up space. Out of ten wedding I did last year only 2 wanted it.

[@internetexplorer-j5e]

The facts it gets bigger and bigger.

[@gorillaman08zx]

Just bought two of them, hopefully they work killer on my Halloween Haunt.

The best car smoke screen for vehicles

[@dijanime]

C’est super ! Ce qu’on souhaite maintenant c’est du liquide et de la fumée qui ne fait pas sonner les détecteurs de fumée. Raison pour laquelle nous n’en utilisons plus à regrets.

[@djjrfromredwood]

If u take out the hose it’s throws faster and thicker

[@jesusa.torresg.1038]

I would like to know exactly what liquid for smoke do you use please

[@TBAPRO]

Thinking Cumulus.

[@limitededition7200]

My cumulus on 1% volume and 1% output looks nothing like what’s shown In the video here.

[@matthewdymond1544]

Same problem with mine, I have contacted my supplied & chauvet for a resolution.

[@sergiocastaneda7862]

I have the nimbus It’s Natural that the machine makes the floor a little bit wet one’s you do this effect ??
I’m having that issue

[@tornado_dude2039]

it might just be condensation. if it’s just under the machine that should be normal

[@mannyrobinson2995]

Nimbus takes 4-1/2 gallons of water for standard operation. When I 1st tried mine at home, I had 6 gallons and the water splashed from the nozzle when I was moving the unit because it was too much in there.
At events, I bring a 1 gallon jug & fill it up 4 times from the Venue's kitchen sink. Their hot water is about 130° and that shortens my heat up time to about 25 minutes instead of 55 minutes. Green light ready operating temperature is 170° to 180°. Check out a few of my videos on my Facebook & Instagram pages.

[@djfatstax2400]

I love it How much do these machines go for

[@revengeof1307]

Like 1.3k

[@TylerBurnsOfficial]

Just got one

[@hmproductionsdjs]

i have one questions i have the nimbus when i plug the blue plug the the machine shut down meaning it jump the breaker what you suggest to do or can the machine have a defect on the electric side ? let me know thanks

[@CHAUVETDJ]

Are you plugging both cords into the same outlet? If not, please make sure the optional blue plug is going into an outlet that can handle the voltage -- and is a separate outlet from the fixed black cord.

[@carlosenriquez9968]

HM PRODUCTIONS DJ'S you need conete on 20 ams outle

[@hmproductionsdjs]

@@CHAUVETDJ ok will do i guess i was plugging in the same outlet

[@seannagel9226]

Does this unit set off fire alarms?

[@SMOKEATER850]

No

[@eversince_9863]

If you use the "recommended" LLG fluid, Yes it will. But if you switch to Quick-Disapating Fog Fluid, the Fog will evaporate into the air as it warms up, giving you that Nimbus effect. So no

[@drummerking3207]

Nimbus #1 I had both and nimbus way better

[@reubenmosqueda2461]

To you maybe. lol

[@mixonedjs631]

what they never tell you about these machines is that for you to see the effect as it appears in these videos you must have 0 air conditioning or 0 fans, if you don't turn them off at the place of your event, the effect is totally lost. for a large room you need literally 2 machines to fill it correctly.

[@memorypalaceaudiovisual]

In fact, the presenters do say they have the A/C off in this video.

[@radientproductions9799]

can you use Dry ice with the cumulus?

[@tornado_dude2039]

i wouldn’t recommend it

[@mannyrobinson2995]

Nope!! Fog fluid goes into the container with a small lip. Good luck trying to feed dry ice pellets into a jug designed for a liquid. By the time you did, the whole damn reception would be finished & everyone packed up & leaving. Then how would you get a solid dry ice to flow thru the tube on the container designed for a liquid?

[@eversince_9863]

PLEASE DON'T. It will damage the Cumulus. Just use cold Distilled water only.
