There are some brilliant minds on this forum. I have never figured out a way to really know how wet or dry the wadding is in my various smoke units. The result is scorched wadding and poor smoke if you don't add enough fluid, or smoke unit overflow if you add too much. I know I am not alone with this problem. Frequently, when I disassemble smoke units I am surprised at what I see. Here are some ideas: A dip stick of some sort that would respond when it touches fluid dampened wadding. Or maybe changes color like ph test strips used in swimming pools. Or maybe some kind of led with a magnifier to insert in the stack to visualize the wadding. I know some medical instruments have this kind of capability. I am open to ideas. Here would be a great product for someone. Phil
