Smoke pellet scented smoke fluid

I ordered the Smoke Pellet one, and while it was "close" it didn't smell too much like it to me at least. I'm sure everyone will have a different opinion. I liked the smell, just for me, not close enough.

Ekaz, I'm using smoke fluid from a commercial club fogger. IMO same smell, wonderful output!

Ron, I'm not sure what a club fogger is.

I purchased a new bottle of reproduction smoke pellets while at York.  In trying them out on my PW 773, the smoke had the nostalgic smell but the output wasn’t great. However, I added 3-4 drops of JT’s Smoke Pellet fluid on top of the pellet and it made a significant difference.  I had good output and that good ol’ smell I remember as a kid. 

Ekaz it is a machine that emits a imitation fog on a clubs dance floor. Also used in the movie,tv industry for special effects. Mine included a bottle of fluid with no markings of ingredients. Should be able to google Edmunds Scientific co.for refills. I use straight mineral oil now, (unscented) when my son borrowed my machine and emptied the bottle. Its also very close to that aroma we all love and smoke output is exceptional 

I’ve used the Megasteam Smoke Pellet scent for about three Christmases now.  I’d say it’s pretty close to the real deal.  Of course; it’s been over 60 years since I was used to smelling the original smoke pellet scent so God only knows if I’m really remembering it the right way.  🤔

Thanks guys for the replies. Rob, do the smoke pellets leave a residue that builds up in the smoke unit and who makes them? I have an old bottle of K Line smoke pellets that smell pretty close to what I remember the smell to be like. They seem to leave a residue. The Megasteam is clean as a whistle. I might even have some of the original pellets and, if I can find them, will try them out to re-acclimate my nose to the wonderful scent of yesteryear.

Hi Ed, check with some of the forum sponsors for the smoke pellets as Rob notes with Trainz.  The pellets do leave a residue when only using them.  However in adding a few drops of the Megasteam smoke pellet smoke fluid, I’m not seeing the residue forming. 

I'm going to put that club fogger info under the category of "you learn something new every day". You can buy a gallon( lifetime supply) of that stuff on line for less than $20. You can even get some that will kill the bugs in your train room. Not quite sure I want to put that down my smokestack. I like the idea of the smoke pellets and JT's fluid.
