Q1: What is the standout feature of this smoke machine kit? What do I need to provide besides what's in the box?
This kit is engineered to be a complete, professional-grade solution ready for immediate use. We have included all the necessary accessories for comprehensive vehicle leak detection right in the box: multiple cone adapters, universal intake bladders, smoke delivery hoses, a power cable, and more. The only item you need to provide is the common, unscented mineral baby oil used to generate the smoke. This allows you to start diagnosing leaks in EVAP systems, intake manifolds, turbo lines, and other critical systems without delay.

Q2: What kind of fluid is recommended, and why is it a good choice?
We specifically recommend using high-purity, unscented mineral-based baby oil. It is a safe, widely available, and highly cost-effective fluid that produces a dense, highly visible smoke ideal for pinpointing leaks. This recommendation provides you with excellent performance, maximum flexibility, and significant long-term savings compared to proprietary fluids.

Q3: How user-friendly is this unit for a home garage or a mobile mechanic?
Extremely user-friendly. Its core design principle is simplified, all-in-one operation. The integrated air pump eliminates the need for a separate, bulky air compressor. The entire kit is lightweight (1.6 kg) and compact, making it easy to transport, use, and store. You can typically go from setup to generating diagnostic smoke in just a few minutes.

Q4: What safety and durability features are built into the machine?
Your safety and the tool's longevity are a top priority. The unit is equipped with a crucial automatic thermal cutoff protection system. This safety feature automatically shuts down the device to prevent damage if it exceeds safe operating temperatures. It is built to deliver reliable performance in various workshop environments.

Q5: As a first-time user, will I be able to operate this smoke machine effectively?
Yes, absolutely. The machine is designed for intuitive and straightforward operation. The visual nature of smoke detection makes finding leaks simple. Furthermore, we back your purchase with 24/7 online customer support to provide professional guidance and answer any questions you may have during use.

Q6: What automotive systems can I diagnose with this tester?
This smoke machine is designed for wide-ranging diagnostic coverage. With its comprehensive set of adapters, it is highly effective for locating leaks in engine intake vacuum systems, Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) systems, crankcase ventilation, and certain cooling system components. It's a powerful tool for both DIY enthusiasts troubleshooting check engine lights and professionals streamlining their diagnostic workflow.
