Advice re. Adding HL 7.0 barrel smoke

Post by BulldogDave »

Hi, I'd really like to add barrel smoke to my Bulldog - I've read/watched a few descriptions but I'm still not clear. Can someone please recommend a step by step guide please?

Thanks in advance!

Shows the 6.0/6.1, but it is the same for 7.0/7.1.
You don’t get wiser as you get older. You just run out of stupid things to do.

Thank you!

Does the smoke generator have to be live (heating)!all the time or does it heat instantly as the main gun s fired?

It heats continuously. It’s the pump which blows the smoke out. It gives out the best smoke after a minute or two of being switched on.

Ok thanks that makes sense.

I'll watch the video later once the TV isn't in use by Mrs Dave.... 😉

So, although this is in my 1/8 scale tank, I am using the same sized heater you would use in a 1/16 scale tank powered at 6V, and it only takes a few seconds to heat up to the point where you can blow smoke out of it.

The board I am using allows me to turn the heater on and off at will, so I only turn it on when I want to show it off, then keep it turned off otherwise.

If you are installing this in a 1/16 HL and want to keep your Airsoft unit, here is a video I made on how to do that.
