To determine drafts and air leaks in a home, professional Energy auditors and HVAC installers use the Smoke Pencil puffer stick. A small amount of smoke is produced from the non-toxic Smoke Pencil to help you find drafts in your home. Pull the trigger on the Smoke Pencil, near the area where you think the draft is, and then watch the movement of the smoke to see how the air is moving. Features like the light at the end of the Smoke Pencil allow for easy recognition. The Smoke Pencil is simple to use and also comes with a 3 oz. bottle of smoke fluid with a special filling tube.
The amount of smoke produced is up to you. The smoke is not harmful. It is similar to the smoke from a toy train and is made up of non-toxic sweet-smelling Glycol and Glycerine vapour. It is up to you how much smoke is emitted, since holding the finger trigger is what produces the smoke. Other smoke sticks and puffers frequently produce dangerous and caustic smoke, however the Smoke Pencil does not produce any smoke that is dangerous or caustic.
The Smoke Pencil can be used in many different areas! The Smoke Pencil can be used throughout your home for different applications such as determining if your fireplace chimney will draft properly or testing your damper to see if it is sealing tightly. You can see if your windows and doors are weather stripped well and seal tight. Test to see if you need to tape or mastic the HVAC ducts in your basement or attic. There are many more uses as well!

Smoke Pencil Adapter Tip – $18
The Smoke Pencil Adapter tip is an optional removable adapter that attaches to the top of your Smoke Pencil so you can get a very fine, but dense stream of smoke from your Smoke Pencil.
This Adapter tip is very useful if the testing you are doing involves small areas or light air currents that are otherwise difficult to detect.
The Adapter Tip holds a very small low velocity fan that forces the smoke out of the restricted tip. The Adapter Tip runs on one (1) AA size battery and has an independent on/off switch.
Smoke Pencil Refill Bottle – $8
3oz refill bottle of smoke fluid for the Smoke Pencil Draft Detector Stick. This non-toxic mixture of water, glycol and glycerine is specifically formulated to generate highly visible smoke with your Smoke Pencil.
