Default RE: The BEST Smoke System

The usual method is to have a throttle mix on a seperate channel to the smoke pump. I have the MZ pump which works the same way as the 3W iirc and this is the way i have it set up. You will find you need to have the mix setup so the pump does nothing at idle, then pumps up to max smoke flow from about 1/3 throttle up to full. You will also find you need a flow rate alot lower than you might expect, you actually get more smoke from less fluid up to a certain max efficiency point. For eg on my DA100 with the MZ pump i only need 20pct of max flow to get the most smoke volume, and my 24oz smoke tank lasts about 5-6mins.
