Smoke machine?

[Steam15]

Please forgive my ignorance of the basics of vaping, but please could someone advise on the following.
Im using a VooPoo Vmate with a Smok TFV8 X-Baby tank.
Im using this as a smoke generator (only running coil for 3 seconds at a time).

If I keep the airflow constant and the Watts constant @ 50W, what would be the most effective coil to use for smoke production, 0.2 or 0.4 ohm?

The airflow is not massive and is a fixed volume. Juice is 70/30 mix (VG/PG).
The smoke is required for a SteamPunk camera!

Any advice on settings/coils would be very appreciated.

Coils have a suggested power range (usually on the side, if not then on the box) and the lower the ohms generally the higher you can set the power which results in more vapour production.

Would you not be better with something like this though...

If you can find one that fits inside the steampunk camera that you can carry and does not require mains voltage, then yes it might be worth a look.

At 50 watts the 0.4 Q2 coil will probably produce the most vapor, the 0.2 T6 coil can produce more but you'd want to up the wattage to 90/100 or so. Since you're not actually vaping it and don't have to worry about dry hits you could up the VG ratio or just use pure VG to increase the amount of vapor produced.

*Could add like 5% water to pure VG to reduce the vaporisation temp and keep the coil wicking well enough, probably what I would do.

Many hanks, I was assuming the .4 might be the better option. I want to keep the power down to a minimum to reduce heat and extend the battery life while getting a reasonable volume of smoke. I did try 100% VG but it can be a bit thick when cold.

I didn't realise it had to go in it.

I see there's something called the MicroFogger 2, but it's pricey.

Thanks John, They doo look effective but expensive. The VooPoo and Smok tank are integral to the camera now, as are the air pumps. Only options to change are the coils.

Amazing looking thing that mate, have you got a video uploaded anywhere I’d like to see it in action.

Can't help as I don't use stock coils, but I thought it looked amazing too @Steam15

Unfortunately no videos posted online yet, hopefully later this year.
The 'fog horn' on top of the camera pumps 'smoke' out when the horn blasts. The eyes are animated, the flash reflector opens up prior to taking pictures. It has a 12mp camera inside the bellows and takes 4k video on the side camera. Its also bloody heavy!!!

Hope to get it out to a few events when everything opens up!
