The directional release of the smoke may work for certain things, such as perhaps using it to add extra effect to images where the subject is smoking, or for certain food shots where a stronger smoke cloud may emphasize the hot temperature of a meal. Although it does have a smell of sorts, and it will be unpleasant if it gets in your eyes or nose, in that respect it is more versatile than smoke bombs. The amount of smoke released is not on par with what you get from a smoke bomb, however, it’s a lot more controlled, direct and as per the manufacturer’s guidelines, the smoke released is non-toxic. It is actually a very easy little gadget to use, however, when shooting you have to take in mind the maximum release time of the smoke, which is up to ten seconds, and plan your shoot accordingly. You can check the battery level on the display. The package does contain a USB charging cable so you can charge it up very easily on the go, whether by plugging it into a charger or your laptop if you’re traveling.

If you’re using it on a shoot, you don’t have to worry about turning it off and on all the time, you can simply put it down and it’ll go in a sleep mode automatically. I found the optimal amount and power of the smoke to be between 40W and 80W, depending on what you’re using it for. Simple! The two smaller buttons on MicroFogger allow you to adjust the power, going up to 80W as a maximum. After that, all you have to do is press the main button down and hold it to release the smoke for up to ten seconds before it stops. To turn MicroFogger on, you have to quickly press the main switch five times, until the small display lights up indicating that the gadget is turned on.

Make sure you do this step before jumping straight into using it on a shoot, though! Also, read the safety guidelines to ensure you're using the product correctly and don't let the heating coil overheat through lack of liquid in the fluid tank as it will damage the product and potentially release toxic fumes.
