Does anyone have suggestions for adding a smoke system to one of my trucks? I found this one for drift cars called the burnout demon and it looks like it might be adapted to route the smoke up thru the stacks. Any thoughts?

Us tank guys have had good results with the Tarr units. If wired through an ESC the fan is proportional to your throttle. You have 2 inputs, one for element power and one for fan power (which you'd tap into your ESC or off the motor.)

I don't need oil residue on my rigs or anyone else's pass

I have thought of experimenting with an electronic cigarette and some kind of a fan. They have some called "drippers", very simple and put out a lot of vapor. The liquid for the ecig can be purchased without nicotine and almost any flavor imaginable..... plus when you get an itch you can just take a drag off of your stacks! lol

The boat guys use a water vapor system but there
Kinda large. Our problem is the tranny lines up with the stacks.

Hey mister, Why does your truck smell like candy? With the glycol foggers like the vape people use, would the a plain glycol base make your smoke smell like a coolant system leak?

You might be able to run one of the small fountain 'ultrasonic foggers' that just use water. Stick it in a small sealed water box that you plumb to the stacks. Not sure it they make lower voltage that 24dc, this was the first i found

The boat ones look like the driftmission one but use water not oils. I always say black power white water
I run a factory c15 625hp cat and don't blow any smoke....

The smoke systems that the drift guys use are essentially e-cigs. You just need a coil, wick, reservoir, and a fan to move air. The most "smoke" is made using vegetable glycerin. It can be had cheaply in bulk and does not have much of an odor.
