Hi Guys
I have just seen this on a model boat forum and it looks good.
It is a 24 volt unit so could be of use to us (you do need 6 wolts for the fan) this is not the old JJC unit that some of you may have tried but does use cold water.
His web site is

I've wondered about these water based smokers in the past but I'd be worried about how they would be affected by the sort of terrain crossing our vehicles do
Boats tend to stay nice and level all the time. If they're not, you've got more important things to worry about than your smoke output

Hi guys,
Our friend Thomas Benedini has smoke generators in his program too.
Both water and oil based and it can be integrated with the soundunit.

hi guys
i have one of thomas' water misters , i love it, as you get the rev up and down smoke efec, and the great thing with the water smokers is very little voltage use. i use warm water, and try to use all plastic pipes where possible from the smoker. Even my tiger exhusts stand pipes have plastic lined so it work ok on very old days.
My water smoker is made from a Nesquik powder milkshake tub (strawberry flavour mmmm) the 300g size. Its very simple to make. Fair enough you can't see throught it because its yetllow, but when the mister is on full, the mister turns red by the LED and it lights up the water level so you can see it. Its an ideal size to fit at the back of my tiger.
Hope you can understand this.
