The Fog RX is a portable propane-powered unit designed for deep perimeter penetration in residential yards. Because it does not require an electrical tether, it allows the user to move freely around large properties. The heating coil is designed to warm up in approximately two minutes, after which it can produce a mist with sub-20 micron droplets, which helps the treatment adhere to the undersides of leaves where insects often hide.
The reservoir is made of High-Density Polyethylene, which is well-suited for oil-based carriers. To keep the unit in good working order, specifications suggest flushing the heating coil with pure carrier oil immediately after use to prevent carbon buildup. The manual pump trigger provides a straightforward way to control the fog, and while the piezo-igniter is built-in, many users keep a secondary lighter on hand as a practical backup for long-term reliability.
Safety features include a stable connection for universal 14.1 oz propane cylinders. Users should be aware that the external burner design is sensitive to wind, so operating the unit in calm conditions helps prevent flare-ups. Maintaining the internal O-rings with proper lubrication before storage will help ensure the manual pump remains effective season after season.
For those managing even larger areas who might need a motorized backpack option, the 3WF-3 Backpack Fogger offers high-velocity gas power for orchards and gardens.
