Allan, have you tried Conosol 260 for smoke oil. It is the only thing I have been able to find so far.

Yes I have used it and had good success. Keep in mind most any type of oil will work so don't be afraid to experiment. Allan

Now I feel Bad!
Now I feel Bad!
Hi Scott No need for any of that, You were just stating the way you felt at the time and nobody does that more often or with less grace than myself. This is all in fun and for the sake of it, nothing more. I will be coming up your way in a month or so and perhaps we can get together for lunch or to compare notes. Regards, Allan

Geez Scooter,
You use more 5 syllable words than anyone I know. Pretty soon we'll be calling it a Condensation Nuclei Distribution System! You should teach Englsh or something!
Cheers,
Bob

Anything will work but the finer you can atomize the oil the better the smoke Having one hole is easier to make and control than multiple holes. The stream contacts the wedge and fans out to 180 Deg. spray pattern that for me worked better than all others I tried. You ask about moving the nozzle further up the pipe and it doe's work but produces a very different looking smoke pattern. The smoke resembles a giant string of pearls in the sky from each pipe. The reason for this is very simple, the four stroke engine only duplicates an exhaust cycle once every 720 deg. of rotation. This exhaust valve opening lasts aprox. 210 deg. of which only 100 deg. is effective exhaust flow that can evacuate the pipe. The smoke system is injecting oil into the pipe continuously so 1&3/4 rotation of the engine the pipe is being charged with oil and only being expelled about 12% of the time thus producing the puffing or smoke balls. The more cylinders you have working on the oil spray the more and smoother the smoke. If you are interested I can send you a link to the stainless spray heads I started with to produce my nozzles. The pump you were going to use should work very well as they are a quality unit designed for petroleum products. I am not a fan of using a water pump intended for a camper to pump flammable liquids ether. Thank you for your interest, Allan

Allen, you had some good information in this older thread. I am looking to replace my homeade nozzles with something off the shelf. I'd be curious to see your results from trying different nozzles. I noticed that even SA is now using an off the shelf nozzle but I can't tell what orifice size it is from looking at it (my buddy purchased their kit) but it definately looks to be a 40deg fan spary pattern. Not that I need to find this exact one but real world experience from others would help make a decision.
If anyone else has had success with different nozzles I'd like to see that info as well. Lots of places sell nozzles including Grainger which is just down the road from my house.

Allen, I've got many of your products on my RV6 now and love them all! If I didn't have a SA system already I'd certainly look at yours. Keep up the good work over there and keeps us posted on any new products! Thanks ...jim
