Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector — Compact 2.3 kg, 10–30s Dense Smoke for EVAP & Vacuum Leaks

The Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector is a portable automotive smoke tester that produces thick smoke within seconds to pinpoint EVAP, vacuum, cooling, EGR and exhaust leaks.

Whether you’re a DIY mechanic, mobile technician, or workshop owner, the Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector brings a compact, all-in-one smoke source to vehicle diagnostics. With a built-in air pump and user-friendly controls, it eliminates the need for external compressors and gets reliable smoke output after adding a small amount of smoke fluid. Designed for cars, trucks, motorcycles and lab equipment, it helps locate leaks faster and more visibly than pressure testing alone.

How quickly does the Solary smoke tester produce smoke?

The unit generates dense visible smoke in roughly 10 to 30 seconds after adding about 20 milliliters of baby oil or glycerin-based fluid to its reservoir. The built-in pump and heating system are optimized to vaporize the fluid quickly so you can begin inspections without delay.

• Smoke ready in about 10–30 seconds with recommended fluid
• Small 20 ml fluid dose per test keeps operating costs low
• Internal pump removes need for external air source
• Produces thick, long-lasting smoke for clear leak tracing

What kinds of leaks and systems can this smoke machine detect?

Solary’s smoke machine is built for multi-system diagnostics: EVAP canister lines, vacuum hoses, coolant jackets, EGR ports and exhaust joints are all feasible test targets. It works on a wide range of vehicles and equipment where smoke will reveal escaping gas or fluid pathways.

• Evaporative emission (EVAP) system leaks and canister lines
• Vacuum and intake manifold leaks on engines
• Cooling system leaks where pressurized dye tests aren’t suitable
• EGR and exhaust system joints visible under smoke

Is the Solary machine easy and safe to operate for nonprofessionals?

The design emphasizes simplicity: a straightforward interface, portable 2.3 kg form factor and a clear fill procedure let beginners start tests quickly. Built-in thermal and freeze protections automatically stop operation above 75 °C and safeguard components down to −20 °C, reducing risk during routine use.

• Lightweight 2.3 kg housing for easy transport and storage
• Simple controls and clear fluid-fill guidance for first-time users
• Auto shut-off at >75 °C and freeze protection to −20 °C
• Works on cars, trucks, motorcycles and lab instruments

What accessories or consumables will I need to use it properly?

The device requires a small amount of smoke fluid—typically baby oil or glycerin—added to the internal reservoir; this fluid is not included in the kit. Standard hoses, adapters and clamps are used to connect the machine to different systems, and optional fittings expand compatibility for varied vehicle ports.

• Approximately 20 ml of baby oil or glycerin per test (not included)
• Standard hose and adapter set for EVAP, vacuum and exhaust connections
• Clamps or quick-fit adapters for secure sealing during tests
• Recommended: gloves and basic safety eyewear while handling hot components

Who is this for: The Solary Smoke Machine Leak Detector suits independent mechanics, mobile service technicians, small-shop owners and knowledgeable DIYers who need a fast, portable and easy-to-use smoke source for tracing leaks across EVAP, vacuum, cooling, EGR and exhaust systems. If you want clear visual leak detection without hauling a compressor or specialized shop equipment, this compact unit makes targeted diagnostics faster and more visible.
