CO₂-style plume · fog fluid · DMX cue · integrated light
Big impact.
No CO₂ tank.
Showven SONICBOOM vertical smoke jets create fast, illuminated plumes for concerts, DJ sets, sports, entrances, countdowns, reveals, weddings and brand activations—using compatible quick-dissipating fog fluid instead of compressed CO₂ cylinders.

Not traditional CO₂
Similar visual.
Different system.
Traditional CO₂ jets discharge gas from pressurized cylinders. SONICBOOM smoke jets use electrical heaters and compatible fog fluid to create a fast-dissipating plume. That removes the CO₂ cylinder from this effect, but does not remove venue, power, placement or operator requirements.
No compressed CO₂ cylinder
The cited SONICBOOM configurations use fog fluid. Cylinder transport, manifolds and high-pressure CO₂ supply are not part of this effect.
Integrated illuminated plume
Built-in LED arrays can color or highlight the smoke column, with channel control dependent on the selected model.
Repeatable show cues
DMX control supports coordinated hits with music, lighting, LED content, countdowns and show control after programming and rehearsal.
Quick-dissipating fluid
Showven FX-S is formulated for vertical smoke-jet systems and fast dissipation. Only compatible, approved fluid is used in the actual machine.
Power must be planned
High heater loads require confirmed voltage, dedicated distribution where needed, correct connectors and an approved power plan.
Venue approval still matters
Fire alarms, HVAC, residue concerns, floor protection, clearances, ceiling height and local policies are reviewed before operation.

Place the jets.
Call the cue.

Safety before the cue
Clear space.
Controlled effect.
Keep people out of the plume
No guest, performer, fabric, decor or equipment is placed over the output. Manufacturer clearances and the approved stage plot control every position.
Hot machine and output area
The unit uses high-power heating. Access, cool-down, handling and surface protection follow the manual and responsible operator’s plan.
Use compatible fluid only
No water, pigment, scent or unapproved fluid is added. The exact consumable is matched to the confirmed model and machine condition.
Power, DMX and stability
Voltage, load, connectors, distribution, address, safety loop, secure placement and any rigging method are confirmed before rehearsal.
Venue approval and go/no-go
Fire alarms, HVAC, weather, surface conditions and venue policies can alter or cancel the effect. The final cue is released only under approved conditions.
Frequently asked
Before the
smoke hits.
Does SONICBOOM use CO₂?
The cited SONICBOOM X, Plus and Jet are CO₂-jet simulators powered by compatible fog fluid and electrical heating. They create a similar fast plume without a compressed CO₂ cylinder.
Will it trigger the venue’s fire alarm?
Fog can affect some detection systems. Written venue approval and coordination with fire-alarm, HVAC and life-safety teams are required; disabling a system is never assumed.
Can the jets be synchronized with music?
Yes. DMX or show control can trigger single hits, chases and programmed sequences. Final timing follows the selected model’s limits and a full rehearsal.
Can the machines be installed upside down?
Only when the exact model/version, manual, mounting method, fluid-tank configuration and qualified rigging review explicitly permit it. Ground-positioned vertical operation is the default request.
Can I rent the machines without an operator?
Equipment-only cross-rental may be considered for a qualified production provider that accepts the documented power, fluid, control, safety and venue responsibilities. Other events are quoted with appropriate technical operation.
