Hi all

I was wondering if anyone has used the "electric mini smoke" that I saw at found at the below web site

http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/electric-m......ency=USD

I was thinking of buying it...but no one can tell me how much smoke it will produce...it uses a fogger fluid. Would it be anythig like what I saw from an ultra smoke 2000. Basically I want to make an open unbrella look like its smoldering in the sun, without any actual flame or sparks etc. Or if anyone has any suggestions on how todo this I would love the help I'm very new to smoke effect. I also have a low budget.

any help is appreciated.

thankyou

I was wondering about this myself.

From what I was told . It makes a little noise and not lots of smoke but for the price I quess you get what you pay for .Well most of the time any way...

I certainly wouldn't recomend it. I tried using it in a show once. I was playing an absent minded guy who put matches into a pocket and started to catch himself on fire... problems was the mini smoke is REALLY MINI! No one saw the smoke and hence I got no reaction.

Yes, mini is the word. If you ever had a Lionel smoking engine, it is about the same thing. It does work well for close-up.

Since smoking is banned in most places, I walk into an establishment smoking my Rogers wooden cigar. I'm told to put it out and I place it in my breast pocket. I engage the conversation until the mark comments that I am on fire.

Fun gag.

Oh yea - get the fluid from a train store. And don't use an expensive coat. The smoke leaves an oily residue.

Would the electric mini smoke gimmick work if I wanted to make a wiz kote smoke? I was thinking if I turned on the smoke gimmick when placing the shoe in it would have time to build up smoke while I patter about color, shine, etc.
Do you think with this mini smoke trapped in a box with lid and left to sit 1-2 minutes that when the box is opened that smoke would pour out?

Thanks.

It will work, but the smoke won't pour out. Small amounts of smoke will puff out.

Is it activated only buy putting a cigarette in it like the add states then is there also an off on button or timer delay?

A toggle switch turns it on, it then takes 5 to 10 seconds to start making smoke.
