Dear Matt
I can confirm Mark's comments. The resistance between the 2 rods when the funnel has liquid in it is very high so no significant current passes between the rods, except through the heating element. (I simply put the 2 probes from a multimeter, in resistance mode, into the liquid about an inch apart)

Thanks Popeye and Mark. Its my first ship with smoke or engines. I assume the body of the smoke generator must be kept clear of the smoke liquid and only the element submerged???

Dear Matt
If you look at my drawing at the top of the previous page you will see that the smoke generator that I bought has a glass capilliary tube, about 1/2 inch long, at the bottom and the heating element at the top. The capilliary tube needs to be submerged in the liquid and it can go all the way to the top of the tube but should not reach the heating element (I have shown in the figure the top level of the liquid).
Other smoke generators use a gravity feed, with the liquid tank above the level of the heater unit and a tube connecting the bottom of the tank to the tube on the heater.

As ssome one who is now getting a smoke generator (or two) what lengths are on the m3 screwed rod. As Im thinking of getting m3 bolts instead.
Just need the measurements.
