What's wrong with plain diesel or will these oil mixes give you better smoke?

These oils give u alot better smoke thicker,diesel is no where as good as these mixes,,you need it to hang around a while or its like mist,,,
i have tryed it all WD40,MOTOR OIL,COOKING OIL,INSECTERSIDE OIL,DIESEL,AUTOMATIC OIL,SEWING OIL & a few other things....GLYCOL the green stuff for radiators is the best but our exausts systems dont get real hot so you need somthing that burns at 130deg..Hey armagard trucks overseas use it as a smoke screen for robbers lol but a car gets alot hotter 350deg+ & they smoke real hard .Im building a system now like a kettel coil or soldering iron for my pipes this should work a treat but you will need a extra batt on board not a problem for 30%+ planes
here is a shoot with diesel below you can see the diffrance between the 2 the next photos is parafine oil & kero
The no1 thing to do is fly around flat out for half of ya fuel tank to get the cans,pipes real hot then hit the smoke switch
hope this helps im a smoke aholic lol

i have also tried many - but always come back to super dri - when i used diesel and atf etc, i measured a big increase in engine temp and this worried me . these pics are all super dri smoke - like all smoke i hate the clean up and the oil goes every where - bad for covering and wood.
