Great tool, well constructed, easy to use, does exactly what it's designed for. A+++
This is a quality made product, it functions exactly as advertised. It produces the correct pressure to properly diagnose an evap system without doing damage to the electronic sensors and other system components. The included mineral oil has a distinct odor which makes detecting leaks easier. I use a laser pointer to better see the visible smoke in low light conditions. The unit produces good smoke and has good features to aid in diagnosis. The only small design change I would make is to mount the pressure regulator with a bracket and some type of permanent fasteners as opposed to the nylon wire zip ties. When first assembling the unit, I found it necessary to cut the zip ties in order to install the correct air line fitting. This was only caused by the supplied fitting being incompatible with my shop air system. Small issue easily corrected. A+ tool, I should have bought it years ago!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Seems OK for the price
I bought this, shipped from the US as I decided I needed a smoke machine, but as I would only use it twice a year, could not justify spending £800! I have not used it for diagnosis yet but have powered it up and it seems to work OK. For the money ( £140 delivered from the US after all charges ) it looks OK , probably better than the £50 items direct from China, how long it works and lasts for remains to be seen! As a basic machine it has no pressure adjustment, and needs to be turned off after 15 mins to stop it overheating (oil boiling?) I'll probably fit a simple inline switch for this. So in a nutshell, looks OK, works OK, only 3 stars as not used for actual diagnosis yet and not sure how long it will last!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent Smoker and easy to use
Well made. Good price. Puts out a large amount of smoke. Better quality than the paint can types and is priced several hundred dollars less than the professional ones. Very easy to use and to test for leaks on your vehicle. I had never used one before but this made it child's play to find subtle leaks in my intake system. I'm going to also test for interior wind noise by turning the heater fan on high and smoking along the outside door seals, etc. Plus, it's a great company with excellent customer service. Pretty rare to find all of these qualities in one product these days. Highly recommend. The only drawback is the odor of the smoke. It stinks and it stays in your nostrils but that's no fault of this product. It's the nature of the oil used.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Works very well, built solid.
I wanted something more refined than the paint can types. Between the easily removable lid and power cables, this smoke tester feels high quality. Warms up fast and produces a good amount of smoke. I would definitely recommend it. The evap access port adapter is awesome and the valve remover they include actually has two sizes which is great. Only downside is the air hose adapter doesn't fit my air hose. It looks like the other ones I have but for some reason wont snap on. No big deal, I had a spare one lying around.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A great value
I have to say I am very happy that I did not try to make a smoker myself. After seeing the quality for what you get for your money it is well worth it. There are a lot of higher dollar machines out there. For what you get with this kit it is well worth the investment and you save yourself a lot of money not buying the more expensive smoker. I cannot get over the quality of the material that was used to build this. I know I could not have built myself one as nice as this. And let me also say this is a lot better then the paint can ones. The packaging was very professional. Every little part was placed in a thick plastic reusable bag. My neighbor who is a professional mechanic 30 + years came over to see what I was getting myself into now. He could not believe how nice the whole system was and the price. He was out there playing with it and afterwards he asked me to send him the link and that he is going to get one to keep in his toolbox at work. He was telling me that where he is that they have one of the high-dollar machines and about time you set it up you could have already used the stuff that I have and figured out what was wrong. And sometimes you have to wait your turn to use their machine which cost him money. I can assure you I have no association with this company and I know no one who works for them. This is just a good product. If I believe that I did not get what I was paying for or if it was cheaply made I would tell you that also. So that's why I have no problem when a product is well made. A lot of people are quick to give a negative review. I am the type of person that will give positive or negative reviews.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Works very well
Smoke machine worked very well. Takes a few minutes to build smoke but continues to smoke once started. I was able to find an evap leak I've been chasing for years. The only thing I would change is making the hose easier to remove to the lid/cap can be set aside. Beats the $900+ price tag for brand name smoke machines.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Does what is says.
Straight forward and easy to use. It’s pretty simple, and works. Helped me chase down a vacuum leak in my EVAP system due to a bad o-ring at the charcoal canister. Definitely recommend if you’re the DIY type of person.

Compact DIY tool
Good "tool" to invest in for finding leaks in EVAP line. Assuming you find a leak, it'll cost you about half of what it would cost to have dealership find/fix the leak. Everything worked fine upon receiving the item. I have only used it once. Instructions are clear for setting up the machine and connecting the hoses. A continuous air supply is required for steady vapor flow. A large leak will be fairly easy to find because of continuous volume of smoke/vapor generated. A small leak will take extra time and effort before you are able to pinpoint it. The mineral oil lasted me the entire long troubleshooting cycle and have some left over. My vehicle does not have EVAP access port so I disconnected inlet/outlet tubing at the purge solenoid to send the smoke through - both towards the gas tank/gas cap side and towards the air intake manifold side. The connection fitting did not seal completely inside the tubing so I had a friend hold it tight in place. As it turned out for me, I did not find a leak. After clearing the codes (large and small leak), neither the engine check sign nor the gap cap sign came up. My guess is one of the two connection was loose at the purge solenoid.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

quality built, great features,easy to use.
this is a well built smoke machine. At first I thought it was kind of pricey. But it was a lot better than the ones made out of a paint can. It is made of quality paint sprayer w/positive sealing latch. Has very good cable connections,& is easy to operate. I was very pleased with the ease of use. I have no doubt it will last a long time. Someone finally made an inexspensive quality tool for the diyers. thanks!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
