Smoke puffer for blower door testing?

dbaerg | Posted in Green Products and Materials on

I used to buy TiCl4 smoke puffers (okay, maybe not such a green product but a little TiCl4 never hurt anybody, it’s the HCl that forms in your lungs when you breath it in that’s the problem) from Zerodraft in Toronto for less than $100 including shipping. Now they only seem to be available from Retrotec and the shipping is outlandish (not Retrotec’s fault, they are now considered a hazardous material) and I haven’t bothered to find out how much it would be to ship to Canada.

So, I’m now looking for an alternative. The Dragon Puffer doesn’t look very user friendly. Can anybody recommend something that will approach the convenience of the TiCl4 puffers?
