DIY How to make a Smoke Machine. Less than $50 

Dude. I watched ten of these vids. Your machine is the BEST. 1ST off...you made it large enough to generate a sufficient amount of smoke. 2ND, you had the brains to add a safety valve. Great video. Subscribed.

I can't stop laughing 😆 🤣 😂 Good lord !!! Smoking down the house!!!! He's mom is going to show up and show out.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Most fun I've had in quiet a while. Thank you. Laughing and learning is a great conbo.

Dang! Your smoke machine works WAY better than other DIY builds. 🔥

That’s is awesome! I was looking to buy a smoke machine, but I owe you now!! Going to make my own. Thanks for sharing.

Great job Mr. Alhue, it smokes real good. I love it, I’m going to make one just like it when I get some money.

Well done Alhue. I really have to make one of those. Great instructions. Thankyou

Nice work. Just what I needed.

That's amazing guy! I love this one! Thanks for the video. I'm going to make me one for my car to check on boost leaks. You're so funny as well on this video LOL! Thanks guy! God bless!

Even tho you didn't actually use the machine this video was thoroughly amusing! I'm going to make one right now! Thanks for the walk thru!! Keep it smokey!!

Hahaha now that’s a great DIY project , perfect for parties 🎉

I did notice one thing different about your Smoke Machine and that is that you used 22 Gage copper wire to wrap your Tiki Torch and your Smoke Machine seem to put out considerable more smoke than all the rest I watched and I can't help think that it could be due to either the Copper Wire Length and or Diameter or just the fact that it was copper wire you used. Good Job Buddy and thanks for the video.

Excellent video and information. Thank you for sharing 🙏💪💯

Thank you, this was excellent!

Great video! I need to get on this project ASAP!

I tried the soldering iron way but this is way better! Nice. Baby oil is non toxic. Which is why it is recommended.

Very COOL!

Thank you very much.you’ve helped me a great deal.

This is great bro I was about to buy a smoke machine because I had check engine in my truck P0455 which is large avap leak, you just save me some money thx bro have a nice day...👍👍👍👍

Great job Bro, love it.

Lol. Im going to have to try building one. Great job

That was great brother.

Built the smoke machine, found the air leaks in the cars EVAP system, tightened clamps and changed leaking cracked hoses. I couldn't have revealed those leaks without the smoke machine. Thanks. Also I used an air mattress pump to force the smoke through the system. That works great. My air compressor was broken at the time. Keep building and creating.

Thanks man for the detailed instructions , and above all, thanks for making me giggle/laugh at 6:40 AM . :D

Thanks for the video. Cool to watch bro

Put some dry ice and a tablespoon of salt water in it for Halloween! FOG that whole front yard up or better yet.. build two of them and show the whole block what you been up to!! Excellent video, steady laughs the whole way thru and even learned a few things! Nicely Done!!

Wow. Your smoke machine really pumps out the smoke.

Awesome!

Nice job explaining this one. 💪

A superb build sir.steve from the uk. I love your humer as well.

The ten dollar smoke machine guys guys are correct, but only if you already have most of the supply’s. I like your design and honesty in what it will cost to build.

Good job.

"Blood seed" 😂😂😂😂 since I moved from NYC to the south i haven't heard that in awhile. I was about to build one myself. Once I got my cart full with everything i needed and saw the total at checkout i was like damn! I might as well just buy a smoke machine, which is what i did. I'm still going to build one in the near future just because i like projects like this. Great vid bro! 🙌🏿

Nice Job!

Great idea On my next projects testing for a vacuum leak

Subbed and belled your channel. Keep up the skills 🕶️💪

Thanks will build one nice job

Well done!

Good job

Man..thanks for the Idea...good video 👍 and fallow..btw. Nice tool box 👷

It works! An it smokes like a chimney!

great!!!

Yep that’s neat I think I will have to make me one

Make a giant vape. Got it. Lol great video brother.

Nice 👍

Excelente video saludos desde Costa Rica

I looked at at least 20 vids trying to find a diy smoke machine that would produce enough smoke to check for leaks in my AC ducts. All those other videos with rinky dinky smoke coming out! Yours will do just fine!😂 Thanks.

Veramente figo! Grande

Great video! A list of material used will be very helpful, and links for purchase will be even better.

Muy buen tutorial del amigo felicidades

And also tell them if it does start a fire don't put water on it or throw the lit liquid on dry grass..don't panic take a deep breath and blow it out

LOL I just can't stop laughing, you're so funny!

You can buy sewing machine oil by the gallon to have reserve oil on hand too if you need that much oil lamp wick will work as a wick. You can also seal the taps with silicone to protect it from accidentally hitting it up against metal when it's connected the a power source. Then just use mineral spirits to clean the terminals to remove the silicone if you ever need to take the stainless steel loose. If you have insulator nuts you could use those as well. Piece of rubber tubing works also. Safety always pays. You could use a fish aquarium air pump for a compressor.

you did good with a few small alterations it will be perfict

I wish you could bring that to my house! I'm thinking about using an air mattress pump, some tubing, and a cigar. Now I'm thinking of maybe a paint can with some charcoal in it.

14:50 Nice!

I'm a smoke machine after I get back from the weed shop. But seriously this is cool. An actual machine is like $800!

Cool

Great video. I noticed you had the copper wire windings fairly close together. Any concerns that some of them are touching and shorting between them which would make your total resistance less and too much current flow? I have thought about using some enameled inductor/transformer winding wire since it wouldn't short if it touched, but you have to scrap off the enamel on the ends where it touches the bolts.

Did u use copper wire around your wick for your smoke machine?

Good job, I heard you say words like a Jamaican. I did build one but my smoke is not as thick, that is without the pump. I think my wiring may not be right.

Best one I have seen , lots of smoke 😂 can you put links to where I can get the parts to make the plastic chamber as can’t find it ?

What were you using for your smoke solution you may want to Add some water to it 10 to 15% Should do it but I would test it out side somewhere safe and just increase the water % until it's SAFE. I was an Austin Fire Fighter for 25 years I'm just saying this thing could be a lot of fun but it also could be kinda Dangerous I wouldn't leave it unattended But that's just Me. But Great Idea..!!

When's the follow up episode coming out? The one about how the smoke machine's gonna save us money...

I was seeing another mechanics vid on smoke machines ,and the guy said it was unsafe to have more than 2 psi of pressure in the system.

I thought this was Ocho Cinco for a quick second. 😆 Jokin

To anyone looking to make one of these, call around to your local vape stores. They sell coil wire in spools cheap. It works perfectly. 28 gauge. I paid $6 for It.

Can I use electrical 22 gauge wire? Good video dude

Most say if you are using standard copper wire you need a high Ohms to stop it from melting, how many Ohms are you using? I tried a Harbor Freight soldering iron but don't get enough smoke.

Could I use copper? I both leads on my multimeter it’s creating a current but I don’t think it’ll w 2ohms

Nichrome wire (resistance wire) ?

How do you measure the ohms?

Lot of stuff to put together

my man knows his cookies! "Thinsters" are so deliciously addictive, You can't just eat a couple. (in the Video, See them on the bench in the background)

I did exactly like you but failed ! I did exactly like you ! However , when I connect to car battery , the Positive connector ( Red ) is short , causing a zap . I try some other cable but still not working . The wire I used is Copper Wire 18 gauge m and wrap around the Tikki Torch ! You have any idea ?

What wire yellow one solder wire

Using that in a club is no go because of the baby oil. You don't want people slip on the floor once that stuff is all over that's a problem so I want to ask if you can just use the smoke stuff in that

Did u pour the baby oil on top of the wire? Also can someone recommend the exact guage wire that won't burn. I really need to do smoke test on my 02 camry getting CEL P0440 code EVAP leak. Thanks in advance.

Hey man, can that wire that goes on the wick be stranded wire or does it have to be solid?

lol so funny

Too funny

ever hear of this thing called Ohm's Law?... That copper wire is going to melt the moment the oil cant keep it cool enough anymore. I would highly suggest you get your self some Stainless Steel Welding Wire and an inline resister for the power cable for safety. The Wick should be fine as its fiberglass but the PVC wont last long to the kind of heat this device can produce

Good job bud! But I would suggest u watch a few vaping videos on how to make coils an warp technique 👍

Sweet idea. I'd probably suggest using resistor wire like they use on vape coils so the copper coil isn't just a dead short.

Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja. Good job. Congratulations. Jajaajajajajajaja

Any wire

Those white pipe fittings are super expensive now at Home Depot . All pipe fitting went up by 5X at stupid home Depot within 1 year, really they are taking advantage of consumer. SO this project now would cost you near $150. Since the pipe fittings are priced like GOLD now, use an alternative can of paint instead.

Any follow up vid where you get to use it?

How come mine caught on fire ?lol i did the exact same as you

Sweet

Your machine really smokes more than the other videos I've seen. The others all tell you to measure the ohms of the wire and cut a length equal to about 2 - 2.5 ohms. Did you measure the ohms on your copper wire or just guess at it? I like the way yours puts out a lot more smoke! You could get a gig with a band, putting out smoke on stage! haha

Yo bro

Put some dab 🤣

Also tell them how important it is for the wires on the tiki wick not to touch, Because it will start a fire.. I seen a guy use 4 tiki wicks in order to separate the wires.

Can you make one for me ?

My bolts heat up so much it melted the pvc 😓

A small DC air pump, a cigar and a piece of hose. Smoke machine for less than $15.

Big help if you wrote the items down

Yep ,that'll smoke out yer house alright .And the neighbors house .Yep

Man you are a jamaican
