Mobile DJ advise, Smoke maching not giving out smoke?

Alright folks, sounds stupid but this is completely relevant. This guy here is a smoke machine and that is the container where you put your smoke fluid. There's the pipe where the smoke fluid will transfer from the container into the heating element where it will be then condensed and it will turn into smoke. But quite often what you find is you've got smoke fluid in there but nothing's coming out. That's because quite often here the pipe is just all over the place inside here. You push it in, you push it out, you don't know where it is. At the end of the day you could open the top and look but during a gig that's the last thing you want to do. So how do you know how to set the pipe correctly so you know it's at the precise exact position where it's going to get the last dregs of smoke fluid? I'll show you. Right, very simple.

What you need to do is take the container out like so. What I'm going to do is just move the camera slightly off there and then logically do this not at a gig. What you need to do then is using your eyes visually, you need to look in and place the end of the pipe at the bottom of the container. or around curled inside the container so even if you've got fluid at the bottom and it's curled up at the top you're not going to get the last bits now you know it's right at the bottom and you'll get every single last drop therefore of course halfway through the night theoretically you shouldn't be running out of smoke even though you've got some in there simple but straight to the point practice and enjoy
