A Guide to HAZERS for Churches 

"Even as Lutherens we don't move a whole lot, so we let the lights move a little."

As usual, great stuff Jake!!

Thanks 4 the nice review, guys. As 4 me, I like using compression type hazers, like Antary HZ400/500. Yes, it makes some oil condensation around, but the aria ain't such lagre. Just plase it somewhere outside the stage and use fan to blow. I don't use CO2 based hazers just becourse it's too expensive - you need to buy not fluid only, but CO2 tank as well. The cheepest solution for low budget churches that I use is the normal heating type smoke mashine outside the stage + fan + low diffusion fluid. It works.

When shopping for haze, keep in mind, More Haze, More Praise

I use this same hazer and its great, I would highly recommend it. I think one thing to point out is that the Co2 is the propellent. It still uses an oil based fluid (food grade mineral oil). The advantage of the Co2, in my opinion, is that you don't need a compressor (like with the DF50) so it is so much more quieter. But over time, it does seem to use much less fluid and is much cheaper to maintain. I ordered mine direct through Pea Soup and their customer service is amazing.

We upgraded our water based hazer to a CO2 hazer and it made a big difference. Especially for the video quality it was a game changer. And also in person the beams look a lot cleaner and the dispersion is a lot better. I can recommend the MDG ATMe.

I was literally just thinking “Churchfront should make a video on Haze machines” ask and receive!

Didn't even know that CO2 hazers existed. Very cool. Thanks for the walkthrough!

Hello, I have a question. The co2 connected to haze machine or are they for separate use?

I am a twitch streamer that wants to do dancing under laser light show in my room with all my equipment. Will the haze machine damage my equpiment or will I be able to do this? I plan to put a laser light projector on the ceiling and point it down and I want to dance under the laser beams and have them show up in stream but I want to know if I can do this without worrying about damage my PC, cameras, mics, dslrs etc...

How do you go about getting an even layer of haze in your room? Whenever I try to do it, I always get clouds of haze and its more of a distraction than anything.

We have a large ventilation system that moves a lot of air (joys of Church in Hot Africa), I wonder how long it would last with us.

So not every church has 2-3k to throw down for some haze. Are there any recommendations in the 500-1000 range for some light haze in a 400 seat space?

I was literally looking this up last night

Thanks for the info. You have a great channel. Seeing others in conference room events in hotels, tripping the fire alarm has been an issue. How can false alarms be avoided while using a hazer?

We've used non CO2 fog machines before, but at our church it sometimes wants to set off the fire alarm. Not a worshipful experience. Does anyone know if a CO2 hazer would fix that problem?

Filter everything through the word of God. Where is that found?

Troy from @Guitar for His Glory would be all over this video!

I'm trying to think of scriptural justification to bring to the board, can you help me out?

We use an MDG ATMe hazer (also CO2) at my church. Just upgraded to it a few months ago from the Ultratec Radiance. Ive found the CO2 hazers produce incredible haze quality but the cost is hard to swallow. I would argue that for most churches looking to get into atmospherics, CO2 is not a necessity. Most other midrange non CO2 hazers on the market make a really nice haze. CO2 is certainly the way to go though if your church has the budget

Maybe someone here in the comments can help me. I’ve got two chauvet 4d’s in a room that has about 200-300 seats. The hvac ducts run across the room dumping air and one of the returns is at one end and huge. I can’t seem to get the haze to hang very long and the hazers running are a big distraction. Anyone got some tips?

We breath out CO2 and breath in O2. So I’m curious if this won’t have health issues for some being that CO2 will be too much in the air? Thanks for your impactful videos and for the educational comment later.

Is haze useful when there is daylight in the room?

Pea soup is the best hazer I’ve ever used.

Whats it smell like? We have a hurricane something.. but the slower we have the haze come out the worse it smells.. which i know has mostly to do with the haze juice. I use the pro stuff but sometimes it stinks worse than other bottles of the same stuff… 🤷🏻‍♂️

And I’ve got the same pee soup in my auditorium that is about 2500 people

but how do you deal with setting off fire alarm systems?

Man, If only Paul had a hazer how many more people could of he reached.

we used to use incense

This type of over the top production for, specifically designed for entertainment purposes, was the final straw in organized religion for me and a very large group of people that I know.

So Co2 can replace the Holy Ghost, who knew ?

Sorry but nowadays design many times seems more important than diving into the realm and Spirit of God. I am not against design though and for a church stage to be attractive there's not much against it. But I have been sitting in services where the Glory Cloud of God was present which will happen if people would care more of seeking His presence than being destracted by lot's of fancy stuff going on. And to be honest when worshipping I couldn't care less about lightnings and hazers and what not since mostly with my eyes closed I am endeavouring to get lost in the Presence of my God and to encounter Him! As I said I am not against church design and especially not if people with a prophetic Spirit of God upon them are creating it. After all whatever you do must serve to help the people being ushered in into His Presence while to me with all that fancy stuff we can play around with we are going overboard at times and pulling attention into the wrong direction. And especially when it comes to hazers...guys, no. Just, no.

Maximum manipulation. Maximizing capitulating to the culture.

It is not an important piece of equipment. Sorry. Focus on solid theology. We don’t need hazers

New Age heretic ideas. horrible. why not focus on preaching and repentance of sins instead of smoking machines.

What business does a church have, buying a hazer… literally wasting the communities money

This absolute sensational fluff and probably a waste of finances. The stuff is toxic and not necessary.

Unnecessary. I have a hard time believing that moving lights and haze benefit a church service.
