I tried black food dye but didn't change colour of smoke it smelt nice and sweet though.

I don't think it's possible... especially black... as you would think there would have to have an element of carbon in it ...which probably wouldn't be safe

HI "ALL , the replacement pipes or tubing i found at my local pet supply in the aquarium section tubing and fittings and very cheap my local shop even delivered ,,lol'' something i found out with this little devil 'ie ' the long standing pain of the smoke war, i been playing around with this a good few months lots of failure's some quite dramatic ''' two mfu's burnt out , nearly a fire at one point ,three motors run till thay gave up ' experiments are with the stock smoker, my prototype i got it to work and after a weeks testing and still working , just i dont no if it will work in a proportion set up not try that yet '' well just my trial & error' regards rayzzer-b

just one more thing smoke colouring just dont work ,,,,,,, i use GLYCERIN in my smokers '' works for me :

I would like to thank Shaun for making this thread... and everyone who contributed to it... as the proportional smokers ended up on my BLACK FRIDAY list of purchases
I have to admit ... I was a little skeptical ...Long story short... I was doing some fine tuning on my KV last night... the stock smoker never really worked that well in the first place.... and now faced with a longer distance for the smoke to travel before exiting the exhaust ... even worse ....so I decided to try one of the proportionals in it... man!....what a difference... not only was it quieter ... it pumped smoke like a son of a gun....they are great... I wish I had ordered more than one set ..

Thanks again gang

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hey Guys,

Want to check out the pricing of these proportional smokers. Where is everyone getting them from and prices if you got a deal.

I bought mine from Rc dynasty on ebay.
Their in canada & if memory serves, were £11 for two.
Postage to the u.k is mighty expensive
So I bought lots of bits to make it worthwhile.
So should be nice & cheap for you.

Thanks Lister Fiend, and these you have got in your hot little hands and they are the proportional smokers or just regular smokers? ah no worries will check it out...
