Hi people, thanks for all the replies, I did put in a new resistor with new wadding material, I think it's OK, if I keep pressing the increase smoke button I can fill the room with smoke, soon as I stop repeatedly pressing the smoke button it goes back to almost nothing, YA, I did have very very little smoke with the old regulator makes me wonder, but I can't figure it out, I used the ground wire (on the 5 wire regulator) that seem to match the ground on the old (4 wire regulator) left the second ground detached, then just for kicks I grounded the second ground wire to the frame made no difference, had to try.
I thought the 4 ohm would be pushing my luck, but I had to ask.
Well I guess a little smoke is better than nothing, which is what I started with, and if I want to keep pushing the increase button I can have a lot of smoke.
Thanks again.
