VOM Edible Cloud is a technique for gastronomy and mixology, allowing the creation of flying edible foam with the taste of your choice. To make it fly helium is infused through the liquid you create to form small bubbles. The cloud has an aroma and taste and stays with its properties for 5-7 minutes.

Our kits include the elements for using VOM, Pro kit includes all the elements you need to start making clouds, with the device, formula, all the needed accessories including a high pressure regulator - Technical Kit.

If you use VOM in your restaurant or bar we recommend getting a Professional Kit or upgrading your Basic kit with the high pressure valve to save on helium costs. Find your Helium locally and you are ready to go.
