I usually stick with the megasteam but I understand that that's not available in all countries. If I can't get mega steam, I just use straight Johnson's baby oil. Works great.
When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!
Another way to make your own is to use liquid glycerin and distilled water. I tried that, using 70% distilled water and 30% glycerin and it worked pretty good, but then I found Mega Steam and it's just so easy to buy it in the bottle that I haven't messed around with anything else ever since.

I've used similar smoke fluid in a Heng Long smoke machine in my Challenger 2 and it works ok so far.
I had a quantity of it for model boat smoke units which are basically just a wick wrapped around a resistor with a fan to keep the smoke moving so very similar to the ones in the tanks.
I think I get more quantity of smoke, too, compared to the Heng Long oil.
