I have tried making a smoke emitting gimmick using nichrome wire. I made a mini cup to fit it in. The problem is sometimes the heat element does not touch the smoke oil.

I have noticed that in model trains, the heating element is in a micro glass tube.

Any ideas on how else to accomplish this?

Lou,
I sent you a pm.

Would this work?:

Hi Richard,
Can you clue me in as to how to do it too.
Ps I can;t wait to get my aerial fishing!

Richard,

Can you please publicly post your ideas and thoughts on how to do what Lou is asking about? I'm sure many of us would benefit from your idea or method to accomplish this. It would be really great. PLEASE?

John

Ok guys.

A couple of ideas for the smoke producing gimmick. First for Lou's problem, I would made a partition inside the container so the liquid has to hit the wire. Maybe sloped or a funnel type thing that drips the fluid down and the smoke rises around the outside.

There is also a company called Zero Toys. Look at the Wizard Stick. It is a cheap easier way to make up smoke. It probably could be cut down and made smaller.

Maps..Let me know when your fishing arrives.
