smokes are neutral grey to white coloured smokes are dyed with colour - cool fire to sublime dye particles. Copper will colour a flame blue but not the smoke. Coloured smokes stain their surroundings. start with clean white smoke add dye.

Where did you hear that? Delia Smith?

Smoke dyes for pyro use are in a powdered form. Maybe you are confused with dyes for fabrics, which will work, but food dyes are water based, and obviously wont work with pyro...

Whats with the influx of newbs all of a sudden?

Plus, I dont consider smoke 'b**bs' (generators) a special effect, smoke machines maybe, but not the pyro version, so I have moved it to a more suitable area.

And if you can get the chemicals to make a smoke charge then why not try some real pyro
