Thanks edpanzer, yes a nice smoker. This is my first Tiger, it runs very well. I'm glad I went for the upgraded one. May be looking into an early version soon.

Which Tiger do you have if you don't mind me asking? Does it have the RX 18 board, 2.4 gig, or aftermarket? I ask cause neither of my smokers work as well as the same ones you guys seem to be using and I just don't understand. :think:

Hi Jack, I have the Taigen Tiger 1 with the RX-18 2.4GHZ. I am also using J T's Mega Steam smoke fluid. Make sure your battery is fully charged. Last night I put another MK I smoker in my Torro KT and it would hardly give off the smoke but did run the tank. I got a fresh battery and it made all the difference in the world.

Thanks Joe. I'm thinking its the 2.4 board and the fact that it isn't giving the smoker the full 5 volts gonna try to do a little wiring tomorrow and see if I can get it to work. I have Mega Steam, I'm the one who posted it here remember? ;) May even try giving it its own battery and see what happens. :think:

Is the fan running on both the RX-18 and the smoker? Yes, I do remember that you let everyone know about the Mega Steam. I also remember another post from someone, and I thought it was you so correct me if I'm wrong but was it you that bought the MK II smoker instead of the MK I or am I mistaken?

I got 2 of the plastic ones what ever they're called by the same people you got yours from. They didn't have any metal ones for sale when I was looking so I got what I could. I gotta get another bottle of Mega Steam mines almost gone. :thumbdown:

The only smoker I've had that smoked really well was the Super Smoker before it caught fire. If I can't get these things to smoke like you guys seem to I'm just gonna give up on these damn smokers all together! Its fun to have all the smoke coming out of the exhaust however this is turning into a real pain in the butt now. :thumbdown:

I've GOT to be doing something wrong. :think:
