Awesome
Love this thing.Not sure if I want to use it on an EVAP system due to possible over-pressure issues but for everything else, it's awesome.If anyone has used it on an EVAP system and knows for sure if the pressure regulator works like I think it might, comment on this and let me know please.

Smokin'!
Good machine. Produces a plenty of and helped me chase down some manifold, injector, and air inlet leaks. The cone and inflatable adapters work wellDoes not take a lot of oil and it's easy to miss the level in the sight glass. I over filled the first time but was able to clean up and clean out the lines without much difficulty.

Excellent Tool
I love thus smoke machine. It has no need for a pnuematic connection, only battery power. It produces smoke, or air at a significant and sufficient rate to do the job. I have used it many times to identify an EVAP leak and it has worked great. It comes with all the necessary attachments, and I bought a bottle of mineral oil to be sure I do not run out. The mineral oil is what you fill it with to produce smoke. So it has worked to help me identify the leak every time. Very satisfied with thus purchase 😊

Very effective
1980 Chevy K20 Custom Deluxe started having issues after putting EFI in. Sigh it's summer she should be on the road!! Very easy to set this up. Filled with mineral spirits with the handy little funnel. Found out the only flaw it doesn't reach battery to tailpipe on a 16-17ft truck. My husband ended up pulling his truck over and hooked it up to his battery. Turned it on and after a few min whisps of smoke began to come out a known leak in my exhaust. It did not use a lot of spirits we probably had it on for about 20-25 min. I was expecting smoke to come out from my headers. Nope 2 tiny tiny little holes up around the collector. Would have never found them without this machine. So headers are fine, known exhaust leak is an easy fix it's too far back to affect the EFI going to fix it anyway. The 2 problem holes of course I now have to take the exhaust back down weld get new gasket for collector augh! But at least this handy machine showed me the problem quickly and other than not being able to reach the length of the truck easily.

Nice
My fiancé bought me this for xmas. It was on my Xmas list I've been debating on whether to get it or not. While once I got to use it it did not disappoint I found the intake leak fast while being able to control pressure and smoke. Love it so far 🙂

GOES INTO OVERHEAT MODE BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT
THE UNIT WENT INTO OVERHEAT MODE ON THE FIRST TRY. WE COULD NOT USE IT. WE RETURNED IT AND REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT. REPLACEMENT DID THE SAME THING. NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU USE A SMOKE MACHINE, IT SHOULDN'T HAVE AN OVERHEAT ISSUE. WE ARE GOING FOR A MORE EXPENSIVE AMERICAN MADE MODEL AND HOPE TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY FIND THE EVAP LEAK FOR A CUSTOMER THAT HAS BEEN WAITING ON THEIR VEHICLE AN EXTRA WEEK NOW. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS MODEL EVEN IF THERE ARE FUNCTIONAL ONES OUT THERE. HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU WILL GET ONE THAT WILL OPERATE AND STAY OPERATING RELIABLY?
