There's no rite way to use a smoke switch. It's careless, pointless, and could kill our hobby, sport, and for most who work In the Industry (thank you site sponsors), our passion.

OP,

I tried it, and to this day I wish I would have never seen the thread. I watched all the videos I could find, read all the threads, went out there and hacked my wires. Got a whole lot of nothing but spliced wires. I could not get it to work, even tried re-wiring it, still nothing. So as I have to check the taping job after putting it back together without the switch, I wish I would never had done it. If you do decide to do it, hope you have a better result than me. I just had to go a different route to get the coal, and it is on demand by peddle instead of a switch. Just my 2 cents on the matter.

i personally think a smoke switch is retarted, but seems to me like blowing smoke now is a touchy subject to alot of people cause all it does it make guys like us look bad, begins to turn into a stereotype. But i roll it.......
