Fantastic Job you Guy’s . That was the best segment to this build . Recording the voice over was a great Idea . Bravo .
Wow! I was just looking through the old ghost trap videos trying to get some information on how to make smoke, and now here I get all the inormation I need. Great job guys!
I did a full write-up for the smoke – bam!

Nice touch guys. TESTED rocks.
That’s awesome Thanks!
Well done! What transistor did you use for the “switch”?

Excellent. Voice over is perfect. Interesting build for sure.
Now we just need Frank to paint it! Such a fun build and amazing design
What are the sound board and speaker you used for the audio stuff?
Now it needs an FPV camera!
What a great build! I’m wondering what that LED light panel is you guys are using?
What did you he use inside e-cig?
This is truly awesome, It would be really cool if there is a way of reading the motor positions and time canon sounds to when the canons would fire…
In the final shot of the build, the Lewis guns seem to have been removed.
EPIC guys!….Well done!!!
I think running the T joints into a collection box/chamber would help get more out of the smoke. It would fill it and get puffed out more quickly and dense once it has vaped a few times.
Holy crap! That looks awesome! Great stuff guys!
I think that might well hinge on the pump motor to a higher degree. Vapor doesn’t store well, even for shorter periods of time. With greater volume of air, you’d get a more “realistic” “smoke”, but that would require more power, and use more glycerin. To be honest, I think they made the best of what they got. Those E-rolls don’t really put out much of a cloud to begin with.
Just needs Frank to finish the paint
Super cool. Going to be looking at what I can shoot out smoke for the next month. Great idea, great video!
Guyz you are the genius.. Nerd on!
Nice job guys!
Also, video audio and lighting got a mayor upgrade 😛
Would have been nice if you guys wired up the soundboard to play gun sounds as the guns are activated, would not have been hard to do with that board. 🙂
They could also hook up the gun to the smoke generator, so the barrels would smoke after it fires.
