TAR Smoker vs HengLong Smoker

Post by jstevens »

Hi, need some guidance on this. Is the TAR smoker much better than the HengLong smoker?

When I first started along this beginners class to bankruptcy my Tanks both the Heng Long and the Torro had the original smokers and they were RUBBISH :thumbdown:
So I removed them and avoided smokers for some time until I bought an IBU2 Pro :thumbup: from Ian (Tankbear) where I was introduced to the "TARR" Smoker range,
I have used nothing else since indeed I have one on order right now for a Panzer 4 with an ASP2 control board which should be here this week,
When your Heng Long smoker fails (And it will) don't put another Heng Long in but instead replace it with a Tarr smoker, You wont be sorry..
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Hi, as shaun says get a tarr smoker and you won't regret it, you can also get spare heater elements and wicks for them from tankbear too :thumbup:

Thanks, I already have one but was not sure if it would be that much better. I will get it fitted.

I have a Tarr smoker I pulled from my Firefly when I bought it. I may install it in one of my larger scale 1/10th or 1/6th scale tanks since I don't use them in my 1/16th tanks.
