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

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.

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.
