Hello there Fellow Fett's,
After pondering this for some time, I made the decision to get a Smoke Kit for the Thrusters on my Boba Maker Jetpack. My Jetpack, still needs to be finished in terms of painting. I've done a bit of searching and came upon a vendor that makes one that seems to fit the bill. I was looking for something low profile while also having the option to emit the smoke wirelessly. The vendor is Spoon Makes. I ordered the kit ($220.00 w/options), and within 5 days it arrived in my mailbox. Here is what that kit looks like....

Included was the following:
1) CosClouds 2 Base
2) CosClouds Vaporizer
3) Wireless Fob
4) USB Charging Cable - for the base
5) T-Shaped Splitter (Optional Add-On)
6) Extra Tubing (Optional Add-On)
I was highly impressed by this vendor (whose name is Alina). The kit is manufactured very well and the packaging you could tell was taken with great pride. Also, when I sent her email inquiries, she was fast to respond. And she definitely seemed to know her stuff when it came to producing cosplay smoke.
The things not included were the ingredients to make the smoke. Alina informed me that Vegetable Glycerin and Distilled Water were the way to go. So I went to my local Hobby Lobby and Grocery Store and picked em' up...

One of the coolest things about this kit was the fact that the Wireless Fob has a spot to where you can wire it to a button....

My idea is to get it wired to one of black buttons on the Left Gauntlet...

After receiving the kit I was pretty excited and began the install. Since Boba Maker configured the thrusters to be removable via bolt and wing nut, I had to extract the bolt so a hole could be tapped to feed the tube through - which wasn't too difficult...

I still haven't decided yet on how I plan on fixing the Thrusters to the Jetpack, but it'll most likely be permanent.
I got all the tubes cut to length, and I like the placement of the CosClouds Base unit in the Jetpack. For now, this was merely duck taped to the inside of the Jetpack, a more permanent solution to follow....

And you may see my Machine Craft Replicas Jetpack Thruster Disc Greeblies in the pic above. I had some concerns about the diameter of the hole on the greeblie. I was thinking I may have had bore it out bigger....but thankfully that wasn't the case as the tube is small enough to go right through it....

That being said, I'll need to come up with a solution to address that. My current thought is to 3D design and print out two pieces like this....

Then epoxy the piece to the back side of the Machine Craft Replicas Jetpack Thruster Disc Greeblies.
Again, I was pretty excited to see it in action and here is the end result of it....
