Thanks

This particular smoke machine was an Amazon purchase years ago for 25 bucks or so. Can't find it out there now for that price. The closest is a kit to build on ebay and something similar on Amazon (links below).

Its a very basic design using a household paint can (1 gallon), air regulator, wick, coils, battery connecting gator clips with wires, fittings and tubes. The idea is suspend the wick into mineral oil in bottom of can, wrap wick in a wire or coil and give that + and - from 12v vehicle battery, thus creating the smoke. Plumb the inbound, regulated air into the pressure chamber and have an outlet near top for your 7-10 psi smoke. I think the parts to build this would be <20 bucks, maybe WAY less.
