Scented Smoke Fluid! Pics added.

Try Mega Steams Nada. Supposedly odor free.

My wife loves the grape, cherry, and popcorn the best.

I keep having to turn it off when my step-daughter is here for the same reason. I wonder if the vanilla would smell good? I just got a bottle of the "nada" at Niagara Hobby to try anyways. Seems weird to go upstairs and see them buying the vanilla for the little scented heater thing on the wall.

I like MTH's Christmas Tree Scent and JT's Eliminator which is not really a scented smoke fluid (I don't think?), but I like the smell of it.

I run the smoke units until I hear "Do you have that smoke turned on again?" coming down the stairs from above. Naturally, I reply, "No Dear!" and then turn it off. Doesn't always happen though, sometimes I get lucky and don't get caught.

I get by with JT's Hot Chocolate.

Joe, you are right-the stuff in the little heater is the same fluid-just not hot enough to make vapor.

The NADA still has an odor- I like Lionel's premium for a "no scent".(But, it has an odor)

I agree with the hot chocolate. I have yet to have anyone step foot in our house and not like it.

Thanks much guys! I ordered a bottle of Nada and Hot chocolate. I will let you know how things work out. Ken

Here is a couple pics of my plastic/tin layout.

I like Coal Fired Steam and Oil Fired Steam sents, just seem to go with the railroad plus it keeps my wife out of the train room which is fan vented to the outside so the whole house doesn't smell like a roundhouse.

The Mega Steam Nada scent has no scent, at least to my nose.

I much prefer the frying bacon scent though. It doesn't mess with my asthma, but it can make me drool.  

Thanks - My lay out sits dead in the middle of our Downstairs (Dining room) and since my Wife and I have downsized We have no basement. We have a Garage but I'm getting to old to stand in a Cold Room. Hopefully the Nada or Chocolate will do the trick - I don't run the smoke all the time anyway - But I love to see it puff - And one of the main reasons I got back into 3 Rail. Ken 

I have the diesel scent, but can't much out of it, at least to me. Is this one of Mega-Steam's weaker scents? Anything I can do to improve it?

Gentlemen,

   The vanilla does smell good, but not as good as the Hot Chocolate or the Christmas tree.  I have backed off of the smoke because of our allergies also, but every once in a while I jut got to see the big Tin Engine smoke.

Hot chocolate, pumpkin pie and vanilla by JT Megasteam are my favorites!

Well my smoke fluids arrived yesterday - Right now the Nada is beating out the Hot chocolate - My Modern 261E really pumps out allot of smoke in a small room even though I have the Pot turned down to minimum. I think any fragrant smoke at all is going to bother the Wifey. But hey thanks to everyone for all the Great advise!

And Bill - I have been in your shop many times and its a Great place to shop.  Ken 

To be fair each time I change scents of fluid I change over to a new smoke wick and clean the resovouir good before adding a new smoke fluid so I'll get 100% of the true scent. You can make your own scented fluids using food grade mineral oil from the drugstore and candle scent oil. Anyone who doesn't care about the scent and just wants plumms of smoke can use rc airplane smoke oil like Robarts liquid sky that can be had for 20.00 a gallon.

I went in a few weeks ago and they had a built up O Woodland scenic building for $77! I went back later and it was gone. Duh, I snooze, I loose.

Rusty,

I'm curious. What is the flash point for the mineral oil? How about smoke quality? I recall years ago that some folks burned their trains to the ground using lamp oil (my brother used to use it in his AF engines). The rc airplane smoke is new to me. How about the quality (or quantity?) of the smoke? 

Thanks

I got a dropper bottle of MTH Pipe Smoke and it looked like small flakes in the fluid.  Is this a potential problem for the engine?  I just tried the Apple Pie, it seems fine.

If you don't know what the flakes are I wouldn't use it, better safe than sorry.

Smoke fluid is relatively inexpensive.

Rusty - I get where you are coming from. At this point I have at least 3 to 4 scents down the stack - So I know I am not getting one true scent. If I can get wifey out of the house for most of the day I can try to burn off most of what is in there. And then start again sticking with one scent only. At this point I am running No Smoke.

Get the gingerbread smoke fluid and it will have a lovely fragrance.

Sure, now you post this. I used to work at a factory that made that stuff!
