The VectorFog BY100 Mini Thermal Fogger is powered and fueled by a standard butane gas cartridge. The fogger ignites the gas by a piezo and then the gas heats the coiled metal tube. The oil or water solution is then heated and mixed with the fogging solution that creates a mist or fog. Due to its size and portability, this Thermal Mini fogger is perfect for fogging disinfectants and pesticides in many different locations such as in homes, gardens, patios, greenhouses, barns and small storage places.
The VectorFog fogging equipment is used primarily for the application of biocides, disinfectants, pesticides and fungicides. VectorFog foggers create a mist or fog that forms an Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) droplet that is between 5-30 microns in length. Studies have revealed that these sizes of droplets are perfect to handle vector carriers of diseases, pathogens, and pests. Also, solutions may be applied in concentrations of 10-90%, and with flow rates of 0.73 gallon per hour (2 LPH) making them more efficient foggers.

The SF thermal foggers are designed for the application of water or oil based solutions. VectorFog SF unique and patented Dual-Point inlet technology, these foggers are one of the most versatile and durrable foggers in the market today. Simply turn a valve to switch between water and oil based fogging. For 2014 the SF Series foggers will also come with additional options including a manual start only, auto start (standard), and dual start. A materials option will also be available for 2014, including an all stainless steel option for applying more corrosive chemicals.
For 2014 the H200SF was tested by the US Navy Entomology Center to evaluate the droplet size of the VectorFog SF Series machines in the Volume Medium Diameter (VMD) spectrum. Using a laser diffraction spectral analyser usder DV 0.5 conditions, the VectorFog H200SF showed to perform considerably better than Chinese brands, and slightly better than brands from Germany. These SF Series foggers also came on top in the water fogging test, achieving the smallest droplet size of all the thermal foggers ever tested by the DOD.

100x better than the other $60 foggers! Never clogs, high heat, I can fog my entire acre in 20 minutes! My only suggestion is provide a standard propane bottle adapter, instead of just butane. I got an adapter online... No big deal.

Is there a droplet size that ever is to small to effectively distribute the pesticide ?? As the droplet size is decreased would it be necessary to increase the exposure time such that effectively the same volume of spray would be necessary regardless of selected droplet size ??

I purchase to different butane tanks and neither adapts to this unit. Any direction is greatly appreciated!
Per the manufacturer, the VectorFog BY100 Mini Thermal Fogger will take any standard 8 oz butane tank, but it has to be an 8 oz. No other size will fit. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

The instructions for the BY100 say to only put diesel or water solution in the main tank. The insecticide chemical goes in the top, a separate tank which gets mixed with the fuel it seems. Because there's a separate tank for the fuel and the chemical, can I use a premixed formula like ULD BP-100 with this fogger? The instructions specifically say using a premixed formula can cause clogging. If I can't use a premixed formula, what insecticide can I mix with diesel/water for this fogger?

Can you tell me the name or part number of the propane adapter that fits the by100 fogger sprayer?
Per the Manufacturer there is no adapter for using propane with the VectorFog BY100 Mini Thermal Fogger. You just need to get the correct propane or butane cartridge that would fit the opening in the unit as is. For butane they recommend the Gas One Butane Gas Catridge or the Sterno 50130-8 Butane Fuel Cartridges that you can purchase at Wal-Mart. So a propane cartridge with a similar top would also work. They do not have a recommendation for the propane cartridge. Coleman and GoGas both make one that appear to have the correct fitting on them though.

Shockwave can be diluted with mineral oil. It also can be used in a thermal or propane fogger. Please refer to the product label for full application instructions that will best fit your needs.
