Hi Bob, for a good clean smoke shut-off you could add something like the fuel valve used for your engine. This should go after the smoke pump for best effect.

I have the ends of the tube well into the exhaust efflux to pre-heat the fluid for max vapourisation, this might help with your residue problem.

Smoke system we use will do morse.
