Do-it-yourself liquid for a smoke machine
In this article I will tell you how to make your own smoke liquid using ordinary distilled water and medical glycerin. There are cases when there is no branded liquid at hand, but you need smoke right now, and there are other cases when the owner of the clubbugger wants to save on the smoke of liquid driving a new Bentley. Well, before that before you start make sure that you have a smoke machine or a phaser, you will find the differences in article about smoke machines. Well, let's step back from the lyrical part, let's get down to business.
If you don't have a smoke machine yet, then you can look at inexpensive options with aliexpress.
Brand of glycerin for liquid
The best brand of glycerin for a smoke machine is **PK-94**. It is the purest glycerin, highly soluble in water. Other brands D-98, T-88 and others used in confectionery were also tested. **PK-94** is the best for smoking.
Composition Smoke Fluid
The composition was also studied on purchased canisters with branded smoke liquid: * 80% Distilled water * 15% Glycerin * 5% Alcohol (10% vodka =))
Where to get glycerin
There is a good option, buy on ali 6 kg of glycerin. already super purified. Such a canister is enough for approximately 40-50 liters of distilled liquid.
Selecting the desired smoke density
The more glycerin in the mixture, the thicker the smoke will be. But make sure it's at least 65% distilled water. Here are the approximate ratios I use:
- ● 65% water and 35% glycerin for very thick fog
- ● 75%-80% water and 25%-20% glycerin for regular mist
- ● 85%-90% water and 15%-10% glycerin for light mist
Tips
To clean the scale, warm up the smoke machine thoroughly, mix 13% vinegar and 1 liter of distilled water and drive the machine through the smoke.
Flavors for smoke liquids
Add flavors at your own risk. Flavors from electronic cigarettes are good. The main thing with this case is not to overdo it. I usually completely empty a 50ml bottle of cigarette flavor. It turns out a barely perceptible not annoying pleasant aroma. In my experience, it is better to use less sweet apple, blackberry, raspberry flavors.
If the smoke machine is clogged, or the smoke density and intensity is low, try cleaning the smoke machine with a cleaning solution.
Savings
Here is such a canister for 26 liters of PK-94, with VERY intensive use, you will have enough for six months .
- Canister 6 liters ~ 3600 rub.
- Distilled water 20 liters ~500 rub.
- Vodka 2.6 liters
Saving 4-5 times on liquid smoke.
