Hello Joe,I have been working on the extra fluid chamber Idea I posted on the other forum,I will post here tomorrow the build thread.I have worked out the refueling issue and believe this design will run for one hour minimum on one fueling if not longer.If we can develop a unit that bolts in the same as stock and refuels when batteries are changed or longer this might catch on.Your unit looks like it is very capable and diffidently puts out the smoke.Did you use the 12ohm 1/2 watt resistors with the candle wick or some other combination of components?Cheers mate and good job,did you post on the other forum as well?

Hey brother! Yes I posted on rcu also. I actually am still wating for my wicks to arrive, but I improvised and stole a wick from one of my Zippo lighters for a test. This unit is very compact and as it has length to it, it can hold a lot of fuel. I am using hobby train smoke oil also. I did use the 12 ohm 1/2 watt resistor. I am also waiting for 12v fans to come in so I again had to improvise. I used a 5v fan for now, with a resistor in line so it would slow down a bit at idle. It works like a charm though. Now I'd like to know if there is a way to get colored smoke...
