Smokin

Great little smoke machine! Needed it for a GM truck with an evap leak worked great pretty easy to setup. Also nice to have different fittings to get the smoke in the system

It makes smoke, but with that smoke is lot of residual oil that can contaminate what you are testing.

Knowing that one should not ever get any residual chemicals inside of a vehicle's evaporative emissions system, I was very careful to not overfill the container or tip the container to ensure that sure none of the liquid oil that makes the smoke ended up going into the smoke machine discharge hose and into the car that I was smoke testing for an evap leak. Despite this, it is apparent that when the smoke cools or settles there is a lot of the residual oil coming out of the hose and into the car's evap system, where it will very likely cause damage to the purge solenoid valve, vent solenoid valve, and evap canister.

After I finished testing and unhooked the smoke discharge hose from the car, I hung the smoke canister up and approx. an ounce of liquid oil (the smoke chemical) dribbled out of the hose within an hour of unhooking it.
The machine itself appears to be of decent quality and does make smoke, but because of the oily discharge that comes with the smoke production, I cannot recommend it.

Good, inexpensive smoker

This is the coolest tool I’ve bought in a long while! Easy to use, worked exactly as advertised, and produced lots of smoke for an easy diagnosis on a Toyota Tacoma EVAP leak.

This smoke machine is awesome, very well built at a low price I have recommended this smoker to all my fellow techs. showed it off one day and put their 1200 snap off units to bed. 30 plus years as a senior tech its good to see a quality product as this!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

product review

Works very well but the smoke fluid could be less obnoxious smelling and should tell people what other things can be used for creating the smoke. Well worth the money and well designed and constructed. Great to buy quality products at affordable prices well done by all involved. Read full review

Don't think twice, buy it!

I was skeptical at first because of the price, but this kit is very well put together. I used the kit to diagnose a P0430 code. Turns out it was an exhaust leak and not an O2 sensor saving me a bit of money. I highly recommend this kit to anyone from a garage mechanic to the DIY enthusiast like myself.

Great Smoker

well built solid piece of equipment, I have used it several times and it works flawless, put out good quaintly of smoke, works as well as a more higher priced, only 1 drawback it has no flow gauge...which really is not that important but should be mentioned.Read full review
