How to Create Dry Ice Fog?

Dry Ice Direct

How to Guide?

One of the most popular uses for dry ice is to create dry ice fog. This is especially fun for parties or events where you want a fog effect -- especially during Halloween!

Dry ice fog is created when you place dry ice into warm or hot water. This white fog is condensed water vapor, mixed with the invisible carbon dioxide release as part of sublimation, which is the process when dry ice goes from a solid state to a gas.

To create dry ice fog, you’ll need:

Container

Your container should be on the larger side, like a bucket or roasting pan, to allow for more dry ice and give space for bubbling fog.

Hot water

Hot tap water works great - as hot as you’re comfortable with using.

Ceramic cup or mug

Start with one cup first and continue to add in more scoops as required. It is best to gradually add the dry ice pellets so that you can control the amount of smoke.

Safety instructions

Handle with Care

Always handle dry ice with care and wear gloves whenever touching it. An oven mitt or towel will also work if gloves are not handy. If touched briefly, dry ice is harmless, but prolonged contact with the skin will cause injury similar to a burn.

Keep Away from Kids

Do not ingest Dry Ice and supervise children around it.
