To make fog, add dry ice to hot water; 1 gallon of water for every 2-4 lbs. of dry ice. The variables of fog are the water temperature and the surface area of the dry ice. The smaller the size of dry ice pieces, the more fog; the higher the temperature of the water, the more fog.

When the hot water hits the dry ice, the dry ice sublimates. That is, the CO2 completely changes from its solid phase to its gas phase, without “melting’ or becoming a liquid. The instant effect is white, rolling fog.

The sublimation times depend on the size of the dry ice and the temperature of the water. The smaller the pieces of dry ice, the more fog that emits. And when the water temperature drops below 40°F, the fog effect diminishes, so keep the water hot for longer lasting effects.
