Pretty handy little tool. We use them to check "spillage" on water heaters daily. While the smoke is a little harder to see than the "puffers", it is non-toxic, non-corrosive, etc...so I feel it's worth it. Hit it with a flshlight beam and you're good. We also use them to locate air infiltrations in building envelope and duct work.

I use it to help inspect for cracked heat exhangers on my home inspections. It is also useful to check for drafts or leaking ducts.

The pen worked excellent for our application, trying to illustrate airflow direction of a computer system fan. the small amount of smoke that it produces is perfect for illustrating air movement. The only improvement would be adding a method for stopping smoke production quickly. But the pen worked just as expected. Good product

For most other purposes, it may serve its users well; however, in my experience, we were unable to get a strong and consistent stream of smoke from the wicks, nor were we able to keep the wick well lit.

We used the smoke pen for a video demonstration, however, it did not meet our expectations.

Expensive but better than the alternative (the smoke puffers. I am thinking about trying perfumed inscents instead because they are cheaper and the customer might like the smell. If that does not work I will continue using the pencil until I have built my own version that perform the same but cost much less.

The pen works Ok, however, I'm testing airflow in my attic & wished that the wicks could have been a little bigger to give off more smoke so I could follow the smoke trail but I realize that the attic area is quite a large area.

The pen will work great for air leaks around windows, doors, etc;

The pen is a little bit on the expensive side for what you get, however, the product is satisfactory in my opinion.

A self-ignighting feature would be a tremendous help for this product.

Works well except that itself is a source of heat so it creates its own draft. Also, it leaves a room smelling like smoke for some time. However, it burns completely clean - no ashes will fall from it, they all go as smoke.
