Hey all. I am thinking of making a direct bolt in replacement smoke generator for the HL tanks and selling them. I have the following criteria;
1. direct bolt in - same bolt locations
2. Same HL smoke fluid
3. Same output tube locations
4. Powered by HL electronics with same connector
5. SILENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6. instant-on capability
7. SUBSTANTIAL SMOKE OUTPUT INCREASE!!!!!!!!!
8. Reliability - hardened Nichrome heating element with burnout protection.

So, I would like to manufacture these and sell them via ebay or through outlets such as Mato. I know this is an esoteric question and Richard, please don't move this to a vendor forum, but I am interested in your opinions as to how much you would pay for it. And totally spitballing, how many do you guys think I could sell? Would people pay a premium since these things break down so often?

Here is an early prototype and a vid of it's operation. The clicking you hear in the vid is the power supply being turned on and off.
