Hello. ALL"" .well i just been reading the notes on this , and i am extremely concerned about people's flamboyant attention to , the health & safety issues that ar present here,,?. now the fact is that the fluid used in the standard heng long smoke generator ' is H20' & GLYCERIN ". When heated this turns to steam the glycerin giving the H20' more density in air ' . Now the problems anyone using OIL" based substances as a substitute IE" 3'in 1' , or baby oil which seams to be people's idea that it make smoke ' well ok may be a little only because it is actually ' BURNING ' and common sense should tell you that anything burning is bad, so on this point if you value your health and those around you '' dont us oil based products '' , it is controversial to health & safety dont do it be safe ' oh and dont get a fine' or your vehicle confiscated , for emitting toxic vapour ''

Heng Long smoke fluid is not glycerin and water, it is a liquid paraffin oil (the type used in baby oil, not paraffin lamps) as their smoke generators do not get hot enough to turn water into steam but just get hot enough to vaporise the oil but no where near the flash point of the oil, the problem comes when people add other oil based substances which have lower flash points and raise the explosion risk.
