I want to make a fog or smoke machine so that I can take it up in the attic with me to hold next to all the AC ducting and check for leaks.

So far I have make a heating element up out of 28g nichrome wire. Running off a 6v SLA battery. But I need more smoke. What can I do?

Maybe someone who mods the e cigs knows of a better way for me to make more smoke? What I am thinking is simply to have more heater elements inside, but how many can I have. How many amps can the battery supply safely? The battery is this one here: http://www.fullriver.com/products/admin/upfile/HGL5-6A.pdf

Also this fluid I am using for smoke is distilled water and glycerine. It does smoke a bit but not enough.

It also spills out everywhere too, is it possible to make it spill proof. I mean the e cigs are spill proof, right. How can I make this thing of mine spill proof.

What about if I bought a smoke vaporizer thing that are used in these e cigs? But then again I am just about there with this thing.
