Your favorite smoke fluid scent?

Coal-fired steamer and Grandpa's pipe smoke. Both by Mega-Steam. I also use diesel scent in all my diesels and hot chocolate in my scale sized Polar Express. Coffee scent is a good one. Used it for a long time.

Natural mineral oil.

NADA

I use different scents in diff. engines and accessories (have to keep track of that). I've got coal fired, wood smoke, cinnamon, vanilla, hot chocolate, apple, cotton candy, cherry, barbecue. The only one I don't really like is the barbecue (in my smoking diner). But if I had to choose two favorites from that list.....the cotton candy is dead on and the cinnamon is a crowd pleaser.

MTH Christmas Scent and Mega Steam Eliminator

Jt-mega-steam eliminator sent and it helps lube the gears of the smoke unit.

I wish there was a small sample pack of all the scents.  I want to try hot chocolate and others but I don't trust they smell the way they are suppose to.  The Christmas pine I have is fruity smelling

MTH has a sample pack, 3 each of 12 different scents in 50ml bottles, but the MSRP is $189. Ouch! Mega Steam has a holiday six pack, but I didn't look up the price. Check their website for more details.

 

The other thing is every one's sense of smell is different, what smells good to some can be foul smelling to others. I'm sure I'm the odd man out here, but I have at least 6-8 bottles of Mega Steam and the only one I can stand is the eliminator.

"What's the eliminator?"

 

Eliminator is a fluid Megasteam has come out with to clean out other scents from the smoke system.  it has the added benefit of quieting down some noisy smoke fans.

I'll have to try eliminator kind. Does it really work well with the noisy smoke fan?

I dont have a sense of smell so it makes no difference to me, but the wife likes baking bread and cinnamon roll.

ROOT BEER !!!!!

Well, I like many scents, but, for nostalgia, you can't beat Lionel Smoke Pellet for me.

forgot the smoke pellets as bob severin mentioned.i go thru 3 or 4 smoke pellets per session followed by what i already mentioned as my favorites.

Varying degrees of success. Takes several doses. 

I'm fond of the fruit scents, but there is a conditional favorite -- Hot Chocolate when I am running my Polar Express.

I really like apple pie flavored smoke.

Coal fired steamer

Oil fired steamer

Diesel

 

Pretty sure that what is meant here is the original postwar Gilbert AF cedar scent. Anormal (the brand of fluid, Anormal) has a scented smoke fluid which is an olfactory dead ringer for the original. It is an aroma that brings out a nostalgic twinge in many.

My Mom and Dad used to take me to a neighborhood bar on West 105th street in Cleveland when I was very young, whipper-snapper young.  On Friday nights, there was a fish fry.  Now, I am not a smoker, but the memory of fried fish, cigarette smoke, and beer from Sinjur's Bar has always been a fond memory to me. Not currently a smoke scent that is offered, but, I'll bet there are others like this one that many of you remember from your childhood that bring out an old memory of your own, that would be a welcome smoke scent, at least once more in your life.

JT's Mega Steam NADA.  It is not entirely without a smell - it does have a very faint odor of something having been burned, but not enough to disturb my wife's delicate, sensitive nose.  It is a lifesaver.

JTs pumpkin pie, hot chocolate and vanilla.

Mine is pipe smoke and ciderpine scent.Because it reminds me of my granddaddy.On christmas morning I would get up to see what santa left for me.And would see my grand daddy seting in front of the fireplace smoking his pipe.Cider because we would go and cut down a cidertree for christmas.Those two secent would sometime blend together.I had some mth pipe scent smoke.Mth nailed that one smelled just like granddaddys pipe.May god rest his soul.

I tried several, but what I ended up sticking with in the shop when testing locos was JT Mega Steam Vanilla. It was the only one that didn't bother my eyes and/or nose in some way.

 

 

JT Megasteam Coal Fired Steamer and Christmas Pine are used most. Also have Lumber Mill (sawdust smell) and am considering some more wilderness scents.

I like the Coal Fired Steamer for the realism, Wife hates it, She likes the Christmas Pine tho.
