Portable smoke machine battery powered for cosplay and props

Hi everyone. I've made a number of "smoke machines" in the past but have honestly never been completely happy with having to use different voltage adaptors and the like. So I've taken a discarded disposable vape apart, replaced all the fluid with smoke machine fluid (the vape is USB C rechargeable) and modelled up an adaptor in Fusion and printed in TPU. This allows for a snug fit so the 12v air pump makes a decent enough seal to blow smoke out of the vape.
This vape is an Aroma King 5000 I believe (UK around £12)
The STL is on my github page github.com/imperiallandm

Hi Steve, like you I've been trying to get the Vape tip solution to work consistently with poor results.
This is amazing and just what I'm after, thank you.
I'll be popping one into my Daleks gun ASAP.
Great work, thank you.

Awesome project

That's Brilliant, I have been looking a portable rechargeable units and they are very expensive. Your Solution produces far more smoke than the expensive units as well.

Glad to help

The exact same vape was delivered today and with the adaptor and air pump works incredibly well. One question ... how did you get the cap off to refill am scared of putting to much force on it. Thanks again... PS This.whole project cost less than £15 which is an £85 saving on the cheapest solution on Aliexpress
