Smoke oil generator??

[Herr Dr. Professor]

"If I got a little syringe and put a drop in the pipe thing and use the syringe to gently blow?" Yes, you can blow into the opening for smoke fluid. In fact, it is often helpful to do so. If the fluid should slop out, get some Yes, a syringe will help, too. For tanks and for O Gauge model train engines, I have also made little funnels out of bottles with nipple-like tops, as e.g. Vallejo or Mig Ammo paints and the like. If smoke fluid spatters, get some of this: https://megasteam.com/page30.html I keep a bottle by my train and by my tanks and one or two in reserve.

Thanks for saying regarding the syringe mate I have ordered the ones to refill printers they be here tomorrow and I am glad just using the syringe to blow the oil into the generator is ok cos I was wondering would it break it or something,still learning in it but I don't want the generator to dry up or something,don't use it alot but I'd rather it work ok when I do.

As far as I remember, the bottle with liquid comes with a tip with a long and thin spout....

It does but it's useless,I tried it yesterday,the drop just doesn't flow threw it hence I was thinking of the syringe idea to force it threw.

I just shoot a couple of drops into that long thin tube then just blow down it.........always works for me.

Tried blowing a drop down and the smoke unit stopped working,so I had to take the top of the tank off,remove the tubes and take the top off the smoke unit and I pulled the wick upwards and messed with it,it works but I honestly think I will leave it alone ie not use it anymore it's too much hassle it seems,but yeah I have had my tank apart for the first time.

I thought it was decent but I wasn't happy with it so I watched some YouTube tutorials and stripped the smoke unit again and did what they said on YouTube and at first the filament had welded itself to the back of the box of the smoke unit when I first took it apart,not good,I had to delicately cut it off,anyways it works fantastic now but the tank would need stripping every time to add oil,I will just leave it alone from now on.

I need a cup of tea,stressed lol.

I use filaments from electronic cigarettes, there is a large selection, from resistance to coil types...
The main problem is that they are designed for 3.7 Volts, i.e. from one 18650 element.
For the ship (as it turned out, there should be smoke coming from the chimney), I make a generator myself, with one element.
For a tank, you can connect the spirals in series, increasing the total resistance..
When you buy glycerin at a pharmacy, the smoke is wonderful...
