Yes, the Aristo SD45 fan type, plenty of smoke and auto shut off when empty of fluid.
I converted several of mine over to this type unit.

The LGB units work for me and I consider them half decent. I use the 5 volt units and like LGB, I run them close to 6 volts.

If you use the LGB units, only fill them half way.

While the Aristo SD-45 units are great smoke units, they take up more room than the LGB units.

How about the TAS units with the puffing action? Anyone tried these?
