RE: How do you power your smoke pump???
I have a brushed speed controller to the pump using a 2 cell lipo.
with this I get complete control over the volume thru a switch and or slider-dial.
I use a GWS speed controller that costs $14 and is good for several amps.
This can be used on any pump and you can use 3 lipo cells for max voltage.
It is very small in size and weight also.

tkilwein,
You don't happen to have any pics of the install or layout? I run a sullivan skywriter and a home brew windshield washer pumpset up as well. The skywriter is a snap with a second battery but my home brew is more work to set up as it uses a pinch screw for flow control. The idea of a cheap GWS control to alter the pump speed sounds really slick.
Thanks!
Eric
