In this video, Patrick Hall of Fstoppers looks at the Smoke Ninja by PMI. Unlike other portable smoke machines that run on battery power, the Smoke Ninja has extra safety features that prevent it from ever over heating, sparking flames, or spitting out hot smoke. It also produces consistent smoke that never varies in thickness, color, or odor. This makes the Smoke Ninja perfect for smaller video productions and photoshoot where photographers want to simply add a little atmospheric smoke to their portraits and product shots. - Zábava

Hey Patrick! Thank you so much for the review! Particularly appreciated the coverage on the professional and safety features, it really shows the standard and care from the Fstoppers team for camera professionals! Cheers guys 😃
So cool! This is definitely one of the more fun thumbnails from Patrick 😂😂😂
Ha, should I do more against teal paper? -P
I definitely need one of these, so many implications besides photography and videography! Fair price too!
Much better priced than their previous model. 250 for the whole kit is pretty much a no-brainer
Holy fireball Batman! That smoker spitting fire is wild.
Finally a review on the safety side of handheld foggers, always knew these things could be pretty dangerous if built poorly. Fstoppers really on point with this one.
Yes!! Been waiting for a review by you guys on this. Glad to hear it was as good as it sounded!! Just got mine, will be trying it out on some pro wrestling media pix next weekend.
Dude, new youtube is cool. Im like watching stuff i never thought i did. I didnt even know stuff like this existed!
Pretty cool, I use it two and I made a review in german on my portrait-channel on CZcams. I love to shot with the smoke ninja.
Just ordered mine looking forward to using it, thx for sharing your take and images
Looks like it uses either 18650 or 20700 or 21700 sized battery which are stupidly common to source(thanks to torches, and ebikes). Though compared to alkaline cells there are a lot of knockoffs and dangerous cells on market so sourcing high current cells from reliable source is important.
Great Video!!!
Great video, Looks like a great product!
But, as someone that travels a fair bit, would be great to find out the best way to get this on a plane.
I suspect battery would need removing, probably need to empty and clean out the liquid reservoir? if so how, would it also need to be checked in?
Can new heating chambers be purchased? if it burns out? or would you need to buy a whole new unit?
Any recommendations on liquids that would be best to use it with?
Hey! Thanks for the question! Actually we designed the smokeNINJA specifically for it to be travel friendly!
The rechargable battery is actually required by authorities to be in your carryon luggage, not check in! Our liquid is also packaged to be 100ml which is perfect size for carryon. When we travel for trade shows we would remove the battery from the machine and the whole kit stays in our carry on luggage! Hope this helps :)
About our heating coil, we have built the entire heating chamber into one fast-swappable consumable, but it will take quite a while to use it up; our chamber features a patent design that makes it last 100 hours of total output before needing a replacement, which is the longest lifespan in the industry. When it reaches the end of its lifecycle, simply unscrew it and replace another one!
Bought the lensgo smoke B last year…talk about buyers remorse…that thing is more expensive and smells like shit…..the smoke ninja seems so much smaller and better
Saw another video online with the lensgo catching fire as well, just like the microfogger. Those things are dangerous af
What is that diffuser made of? Really cool!
I have the Vosentech 4 and I cannot recommend that you buy it. Perhaps the 5 is better, but I’ve wasted a lot of time with the 4, and so I ordered the Ninja last week. The 3D printed case on the 4 is ok, but for the price I think it’s appropriate to expect an injection molded case. The V4 leaks like crazy so there’s a lot of wasted “juice”. Also, the after purchase support for Vosentech is not great and borderline hostile - after purchase you’re pretty much on your own even if the product seems to be at fault. If you accidentally forget to turn off the Vosentech, you can kill the battery to the point where it must be replaced, and unlike the Ninja, the battery is not replaceable - you’ll have to take the whole unit apart which may void your warranty. Anyway, I’m hoping all of my concerns and issues are resolved with the Ninja.
Side note, the liquid can become oxidized, the word you were seeking. If it oxidizes, it can become ineffective and eventually unusable. It will turn yellow and brown eventually.
You look well rested Patrick. I see fatherhood is treating you well 🙂👍
Not sure if this is sarcastic...I feel exhausted every day of my life. Today is my birthday...first day of sleeping in, kind of. -P
@@FStoppers Nono, I'm actually serious! You looked good in the video, trust me. You didn't look exhausted or with huge bags under your eyes and stuff.
Happy Birthday also and hope you get plenty of much needed sleep 😴
Hi do you mind sharing the link where to buy the batteries please?
What type of battery do I buy for a backup? How long does it take to initially warm up?
It doesn't have a warm up time, it's instant!
Have you ever push the Modebutton twise?
i have one of these and the best £200 i have spent, means not lugging my smoke machine with me.
Does it leave a residue? Most fog machines make a mess!
How is this machine for outside photography??
Curious how the Ulanzi compares....
I hope this thing is cheap because I really want one of these
It’s much cheaper than their previous version which is 750 sth….now it’s like 1/3 the price on B&H.
250
@@mwaithephoto 250 is for the full kit? Or only with the machine
and need to buy extra accessories? Like the liquid attachment
@@redboyincog8026 250 is everything included. Have to say, it's a pretty well-built piece of kit
@@redboyincog8026 250 for everything. Honestly not bad
How do they even make 3 different types of smoke with the same machine? That is amazing
It's based on fan speed and filament heating temp. -P
I assume you can only get the refill of smoke from the vendor directly?
both B&H and Adorama have refills for sale. They are everywhere
Does it have to used upright or can it be used horizontally?
It can be used shortly in a different orientation but they recommend it being vertical so the liquid saturates the filament correctly. That said, it's super easy to just use the adapters to position the smoke to come out downward or sideways. -P
Also, a swappable battery will extend the life time of the unit.
More control the better ... l was using nightclub fogs
Vape 😂❤
It's too funny how it's essentially a slightly modded vape marketed at photographers.
I was gonna joke I could invite a few people who vape to be on set. Then when I saw the product photos on B&H I literally screamed lol.
Don't get me wrong, it's cool and I'd probably still get it to replace using haze in a can.
But seeing the tank is just covered and allows for a tube attachment cracks me up 😂
Might make people think twice about vaping now
How easily can a powerful vape pen haze up a whole room? I needed two units to do it but I’d image a vape pen can only run for a 10-20 seconds max right? -P
@@FStoppers depends on the size of the room, and time wise you're likely correct. It's been quite awhile since I've been around people who heavily vaped. But people who were seriously into vaping and mods would often blow crazy large clouds.
Legit not something I'd use for a set though lol, but it definitely made me think how similar these are.
When it comes to this, I'm just curious about the solution used. Does it smell like anything? Whats it made of, etc.
Great upside though is the versatility of the modes. Which seems great for smaller projects
I wish a new product would come with a 500mm bottle size and be more powerful.
Isn't that the Smoke Genie? -P
I hate when my vacuum cleaner battery dies mid shoot ughhh!
You can actually buy an adapter for many of them that allow you to use drill power tool batteries. I have about 3 Dewalt batteries so I’m considering doing that so I can swap them mid vacuum. -P
Always the best when u are paid
So it's a vape on a timer
But a Vape that can safely and consistently run for 60-120 seconds. -P
Be aware of the fake stuff from china… meanwhile the designer of this product is from Hong China😂
Fake as in just copying an existing product without a lot of research and design. The team in HK built this from the ground up. Having made my own products in China and seeing them get ripped off, I know this situation all too well. -P
absofuckinglutely not. the filmog fog machine by ulanzi is far better and only $100.
My handheld smoke machine is made of glass and runs off herb
It's a glorified vape
