In this video I make a quick backyard smoke machine and use it to find vacuum leaks on a 2004 F150 with a 4.2L engine. A smoke machine is a great tool to have, because sometimes a small vacuum leak is alot more tougher to find than one would imagine.

VG in a $10 ecig is much safer.
Drop a 4th of July smoke bomb in the can…
You can also stretch a rubber glove over the throttle body inlet.
all you need is a cigar and a piece of hose ! blow cigar smoke through the hose and watch where the smoke comes out of and there's your vacuum leak !
home depot sales 1/4 "npt nuts in lamp department
A short metal tube extending to the bottom of the can would help keep the fire lit.
also can be adapted to make a hookah pipe or a beer bong , for you crazy kids out there .
next time use a couple of charcoal brickets already on fire for better smoke
I think you need a way for air to get into the can. Maybe you smothered the fire?
i just bought one of these today dogoneit
