DO NOT USE A SUPERSMOKER! I had 2, both caught fire and almost cost me my tank! I can not say it enough, complete garbage, do not waste your money, time or possibly tank! I'm not the only who has had this experience either.

The best aftermarket smoker that I, and I believe anyone else, has found is the TARR smokers. I have them in all my tanks and have run them for 4 hours at a shot with zero problems. I believe Mr.Tankbear, Ian sells them and I can't say enough good things about him as well. He is currently on holiday but I'd send him a PM anyway and just stand by for his reply.

PLEASE DO NOT CHANCE YOUR TANK TO A SUPERSMOKER, SERIOUSLY RUN WITH NO SMOKE BEFORE YOU EVER BUY ONE OF THESE.

What electronics are you running?

But yes they now make them proportional, you want a MK 3 OR MK4. They plug into where the factory smoker would go.

If you get a MK3 or MK4 they are proportional from what Ian has said. So it should work the same as the supersmoker would other then the whole catching fire thing.

Agreed, the tar mk3/4 is your best bet
