THE BEST SMOKE TESTER YOU CAN BUILD!! / THE MR. FUSION MINI BUILD

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

LOL Love it!

[@robertkelley6574]

This thing worked like a charm. Located my EVAP leak in less than a minute once I got it hooked up. I was contemplating buying a $100 part in hopes it would fix my problem. After hooking this up and finding my leak I was glad to see it wasn’t the part I was going to buy but instead a $10 water separator. This thing saved me a ton of time and money.

[@roncoon3464]

Just failed a SMOG TEST in Cali with an 0456, 0457 small leak codes. Mechanic wants $165 just to do the diagnostic test, a smoke test. There are a lot of smoke generators on youtube, but yours is, by far, the most professional. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the public.

this by far the best diy smoke machine i've seen on youtube... thanks

[@3613jeremy]

Just a add on to this set up is adding a propane regulator they'll drop your air compressor PSI to a safe 1 psi because a lot of systems will get messed up with anything over 2psi

[@chriscadman5715]

Jeremy, Please post a link to the propane regulator you use. Thanx!

Awesome!!!! I have a vacuum leak on my 85 LX I just picked up. I was told you made a cool kit and low and behold this popped up in my suggested vids 👌

[@sergiochavez1673]

This is the best one i've seen yet. sure you can't see the "Smoke" through a glass screen but why would you need too. Good job!

[@HedoBum]

The most obvious reason I found is to make sure your oil level isn't too low. Sucker gets hot without enough oil on the wick and it does dissipate quickly.

[@lavachemist]

@@HedoBum It would be pretty easy to make a sight glass for monitoring the oil level, especially on the taller version of the Mr. Fusion. It might be a worthy addition if you're worried about that.

[@josuetobar1196]

This is going to save me a lot of time and money thanks again for the informational videos.

I was just saying I wanted one of those. Never dreamed it was that easy to make! Thanks for taking the time to put this video together!!!

Made my own today. Same build except I call mine Mr. Wok because it runs on vegetable oil! Thanks brew2l

[@weloveups831]

Awesome build! Somewhere I missed what you used to push the smoke out.! I see a hose that looks like from and air compressor.

[@trailerpark187]

I just got done building my own mr. fusion. Works flawlessly, thanks man

[@clydedent1415]

I can't find the wire

[@trailerpark187]

I dont see it on there now either.

Of course the guy with the Mustang builds it solid nice job

[@dm7097]

Ok #1) I was going to build a paint can smoke machine (as I've already got all the parts), but I really like this idea! #2) I really want to buy a fox body mustang! Damn I love the look and sound of the 5.0!

[@johnnyjohn8073]

New subscriber here. I've seen videos in the past of people making their own smoke tester. Your's is the best and easiest by far. It never crossed my mind to use plastic plumbing and run voltage through it. It just seems counter intuitive but you proved me wrong since it's very hard plastic and very little voltage running through it. I'm running to Lowes tomorrow and to my local vape shop.

[@pcmfrenzy1089]

So basic, cheap, and usable. I made my own from scratch that looks like a professional one. But this little guy is SICK AF! Excellent video, Excellent job!!!!

[@joecnc3341]

Great Video. Now I have a good project for the weekend - and can test for vacuum leaks on my vehicles. Thank You!

[@n4thawin]

Best one I've seen so far!

[@milosaleksic1982]

Perfect! I was just thinking about how cristal jars or metal cans are not the best containers, this one looks great. Maybe as an addon, a hook to hang it off the hood. Kudos for the music :)

[@jessicaandtrains7768]

Nice design mate. I made a similar design but using a cheap soldering iron as a heater. After the first use it failed. Ill now make one with nichrome wire like yours.

[@legallyfast]

I work on Foxbodies all the time, and I have been using a smoke machine and love it. Unfortunately, they cost like $800 so I wasn't going to get one anytime soon, but I will be building this. Thank you for all of your useful information.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Your welcome brother! Thank you 🙏

[@leonardopupo-tuperet6080]

Great idea. You also could use a mosquito fogger machine ($50 from Amazon Prime) and pour baby oil in it. It works like a charming. It harmless to engines.

[@2112user]

That's originally what I googled when I found this.... a DIY way to adapt a Halloween smoker for automotive use. Being a vaper and tinkerer, only thing I need is $18 bucks worth of PVC. Wonder if Domestic/Import have a flavor preference :D

Great I will make it. You could use a constant current power supply

[@lawrencehalpin6611]

Nice job. Thank you. Kind regards

[@MegaLostOne]

Thanks for the vid. Made myself one today out of ABS. One thing I did do differently was using some liquid tape on the bolts (outside of plastic) so if it slid for some reason it couldn't ground out the to body or engine. I know there is a fuse in there also to protect against that but I figured it wouldn't hurt and I already owned the liquid tape.

[@marshallartz3194]

Good video. I added a shutoff valve, 0.5 PSI propane regulator (CAMCO Olympian 59013 from Amazon) and ring end 12VDC power cables with battery clamps. Made power through-bolt seals from high-temp silicon rubber. Mine leaked smoke from around the cap, which I resolved by smearing the threads with plumbers putty and reinstalling.

[@timtucker7762]

So 0.5 PSI is the input pressure? Would it work with no input air, maybe just plugging the input? I wonder if it would build enough pressure on it's own?

[@marshallartz3194]

@@timtucker7762 0.5 psi was recommended in several different build videos, etc. to not overpressure the car hoses. It seemed to work so I went with it vs. reinventing the wheel. No idea if it's optimal. Smoke does dribble out on it's own without pressure, but IMO pressurization is better to speed the process. I fed a 12V plug-in pool toy inflator nozzle into the pressure regulator. I've even seen designs where people pressurize by blowing into the hose.

[@860fox9]

I just built one. I wanted add that you need to twist two pieces of the 26 gauge wire together as that will make a difference to what ohms people see. But thank you for the video.

[@lavachemist]

That's a great idea. I got 22 gauge kanthal wire, because it's cheap, so I'll definitely try twisting it.

[@terrywashburn3852]

Thanks for the tip. I have 24 ga ss wire that i gotta go about 10' before i get anywhere near 2 ohms resistance. Will give this a shot.

Thats a pretty good idea. When I made mine a long time ago. I just used a glass jar and an incense. Yes an incense. One of those little triangle thing that smokes. I also used the long incense on a stick too. The best part is that it smells good. Mine requires no battery or bicycle pump.

2 ohms is to hot. It ignites the wick. Use 4.5 ohms and it will smoke and not catch fire. Great video

[@davidspomer5091]

You used more resistance (more ohms) and it was cooler? Are you certain about this>

[@deven6518]

​@@davidspomer5091 more ohms requires more power, but seeing as the supply us fixed, theoretically it will allow less current to pass.

BREW2L How are you doing! I went to Lowe’s today to go find all the parts on your video receipt and I found all the parts. After I found all the parts I went back to the pvc plumbing section cause I realized I grabbed the wrong Flange and in the process of doing that a worker asks me if I need help with anything and I told him what I was going to do with all the parts from your receipt and he said that it would all melt in seconds because pvc can’t tolerate heat, I ended up putting all the parts back and not buying anything because I don’t have knowledge about this project like you do, if you can please make another video regarding this matter talking about what a wick or heat of any kind can do to pvc I would greatly appreciate it.
