I've been getting A LOT of questions about how I created the smoke effects in my last video, so wanted to share a bit more about the process...
Essentially, you just need a $3, micro-USB powered atomizer (search for something like "Humidifier Module USB, Atomization Plate Circuit Board") and use a small USB battery.
The process is as follows:
1- Grab a $3 atomizer circuit & a USB power source
2️- Place atomizer in water for instant mist! (the disc only really works one way around)
3️- Safe, cool vapor won’t melt terrain, so I integrate the set-up inside my buildings
4️- I 3D printed a reservoir to store the water and integrate it securely into my terrain
I'm working on a lot more atmospheric effetc but would love to here your thoughts about my process.

Super cool
Thnx, you gave us a really fun idea to use on our first FACTS event.
Ok, picture this, but wit imperial/chaos titans
Does the vapour drip much if directed horizontally or in a downward direction?
Interesting!
yo quiero!
City pipes with a space for water —-with this would be amazing.
Don’t use around MDF terrain.
With those prices $400 smoke machines would go out of business
Can I somehow find compatible models on your website? I looked around but there is a lot of them
🔥🔥
Cool, would love to try that atomizer into my creations. 🔥
Does it leave a lot of humidity/moisture around the table?
be aware that everything will get wet. Also you can't use to small openings as water will acumilate an clog those. I tried to use this in H0 scale for a steam-engine diorama, but the pipe I used to direct the smoke through the exhaust was to small.
