We just used the Aquafog 3300 at my space...It is going to depend on a lot of factors:1. How hot you get the water... there is a temp gauge that you can adjust (the hotter the water, the more density of fog you will get... it will also use up the ice faster)2. How much air you are forcing from the fan, through the tube, onto the stage ... there is a metal plate (with two thumb-screws) inside the top ice bin that you can adjust to get the appropriate level on the stage 3. How the ice is packed into the bin... (now we are getting very picky)... some techs prefer to have the ice crushed into smaller pieces and some prefer larger "bricks" of ice with this machine.4. How much air movement do you have in your theatre ? The more movement will mean faster dissipation.Unfortunately... the only real way to determine these factors is to "test-run" the equipment during the rehearsals... it can get pricey to keep testing it until you get it right.Some general coments... 10 minutes of full fog will be a stretch for even the two machines. Be mindful of the condensation on the stage floor (or wherever the hose comes onto the set). Also... you can never have too many old towels on-hand when using these machines... keep an eye on the area around the machines as well (everytime you open the lid, it will dump some condensation from the hot water onto the stage ). Please keep in mind that you are mixing some dangerous materials here... HOT water/COLD ice/DEADLY electricity... be safe and have fun!
