Make your own smoke fluid

This is my first instructable so please bare with me. I have also decided to make it a relatively short one.
 
In this instructable I am going to show you how to make your own smoke fluid for any smoke machine. This does not include fog machines which use dry ice. Perhaps obvious to most, but just wanted to point that out.

Step 1 What you will need

- Glycerol, Glycerin or Glycerine (same thing)
- Distilled water
- Measuring jug
- Container to store solution

could you add food coloring?
coloured smoke?

I'm not sure. I don't think I've heard of it being used before. Sorry.

I herd that you needed a ton and it made if not toxic very unplesent smoke.

btw can you make a vid?

[robot797]

you can drink this if you use food grade glycerine
it will taste sweat
it is not toxic

XD

It would also be possible to use boiled-then-condensed water (distilled) that you can make at home

[crapflinger]

the glycerine makes it smell like pancake syrup...almost exactly like antifreze (Ethylene glycol....not good for smoke machines)

[The Ideanator]

Antifreeze smells like formaldehyde.
