Hand-Held Small Volume Smoke Generators

Tel-Tru™ T-T Smoke Sticks are one of the most convenient and widely used small volume tracer smoke sources. The Sticks utilize titanium tetrachloride which combines with atmospheric moisture to form a dense, persistent white smoke. To use, simply hold the Smoke Stick vertically and crush the end of the cotton swab with pliers. This produces a continuous stream of smoke, about three to four times as much as from a cigarette, for about ten minutes.

Note that a Smoke Stick can be taped to a pole to check air behavior around ceiling diffusers and other hard-to-get-at places.
