Halfcorps Homemade Smoke Machine (Time To Hotbox The Lab) 

tbh, thats a much better description! But I have since found a way to heat up vegetable glycerin to a much higher temperature without the system blowing up/melting using the same methodology. Perhaps I will make of video once I create a working prototype.

@@halfcorp9720 That would be a smoking hot thing ♨️ Some suggestions that might it (more) portable, safer and easier for you and anyone to use: Use a ZVS as induction heater, heating up a suspended (magnetic) pipe with a fiberglass wick inside the jar. This should save you a lot of power, as you don't need to heat the top of the nicrome wire - also hopefully avoiding a fire since the tube is cooled by the liquid. The ZVS typically runs off 12-24 volts, and with a 12/24V fan - it would be a lot safer to handle, as the current through the induction windings (isolated copper wire) should be a negligible to that of the current heating wire. Another use for the smoke machine could be to stop unwanted guests in your workshop - fill the air thick with smoke, and they'll probably leave in a very short time :ø)
