Finally got my fluid mix right after 6 months of tinkering

I was at a Halloween store last week and overheard this guy telling the clerk how he uses 3 parts distilled water to 1 part glycerin with a splash of rubbing alcohol for his homemade hazer. I've been messing around with fog fluid recipes since April and mine always left this greasy film on everything. Gave his ratio a shot on my 1500W heater block setup in the garage last night and man, the fog hung around for a good 8 minutes before it started thinning out. No weird smell either, just that classic fog machine scent. Has anyone else found a fluid mix that works better than the standard 80/20 water to glycol thing?

Oh man, that reminds me of the time I tried using pancake syrup instead of glycerin.

Yeah I used to think the cheap stuff worked fine. Changed my mind quick, @grant.richard.
