I finally burned down a fog machine after 3 years of tinkering
Last Halloween I was running my homemade fog machine for a party in my garage and the heating element caught fire. Melted a plastic hose right off the coil and filled the place with acrid smoke instead of nice fog. Has anyone else had a coil overheat on them or am I just building these things wrong?

Burned down" as in it's completely destroyed?

Lmao yeah @paul233 I think "burned down" is a bit dramatic, but it did toast the coil pretty good. The heating element basically melted the plastic hose off the coil and left a nasty burnt plastic smell in the garage for days. I read that some coils will warp if you run them too long without enough fluid, so maybe that's what happened to you too.
