PMI Smoke Vest: Frequently Asked Questions
Create wearable smoke effects for cosplay, SFX costumes, live performance, film, and photo shoots with the PMI Smoke Vest and compatible PMI fog machines.
What is the PMI Smoke Vest?
The PMI Smoke Vest is a plug-and-play costume smoke harness for on-body smoke effects. It lets you route smoke through built-in tubing so effects can appear from the torso, head, arms, or other planned points on the body.
Which fog machine should I use with the Smoke Vest?
For on-body smoke effects, we recommend using SmokeNINJA PRO V2 with the PMI Smoke Vest. The vest is also compatible with the original SmokeNINJA and SmokeGENIE fog machines. Only use PMI-branded fog machines with the Smoke Vest.
Is the fog machine included with the Smoke Vest?
The Vest Only option does NOT include a fog machine. If you need the fog machine and vest together, choose the COSPLAYER BUNDLE or PROP BUILDER BUNDLE based on your setup needs.
What effects can I create with the Smoke Vest?
You can create wearable smoke effects for cosplay armor, creature suits, masks, props, stage costumes, and camera-ready SFX looks. The tubing system helps place smoke around the body instead of relying on a handheld machine off-camera.
How does the Smoke Vest route smoke?
The Smoke Vest uses durable PU tubing with evenly spaced holes to spread smoke through the costume harness. Extra tubing is included for custom layouts, so you can adapt the routing for torso, head, arm, or prop-based effects.
Is the Smoke Vest safe for on-body use?
SmokeNINJA PRO V2 with the PMI Smoke Vest is designed for on-body use with a dedicated splash-proof, heat-resistant protective pouch. Always follow the product tutorial and manual, test the full setup before a shoot or performance, and keep outlets and hot parts positioned correctly.
Can I wear it under or over a costume?
Yes. The adjustable arm and shoulder straps help the vest fit different costume sizes and body setups. Test the fit, smoke direction, and movement range before going on camera or on stage.
How do I set up the Smoke Vest?
Place the SmokeNINJA PRO V2 in the dedicated protective pouch, choose your tubing setup, and route the smoke to the body area you want to highlight. PMI’s video tutorial covers common torso, head, and arm setups.
Which Smoke Vest bundle should I choose?
Choose Vest Only if you already own a compatible PMI fog machine. Choose the COSPLAYER BUNDLE if you want a ready on-body smoke setup with SmokeNINJA PRO V2. Choose the PROPS BUILDER BUNDLE if you need more flexibility for custom prop and costume builds.
Can production teams use the Smoke Vest on set?
Yes. The Smoke Vest is built for cosplay creators, SFX costume builders, live performers, filmmakers, photographers, and production teams that need controlled on-body smoke effects. Test the effect before the shoot, confirm venue rules, and keep the setup accessible for quick adjustments.
Where can I find setup help and tutorials?

SmokeNINJA PRO V2: Frequently Asked Questions
Choose the right bundle, understand the effect options, and get set up for your shoot.
What is SmokeNINJA PRO V2?
SmokeNINJA PRO V2 is a compact handheld fog machine platform for controlled fog, steam, and dry-ice-style effects. With the correct bundle and nozzle, it can also create cinematic haze.
What can I create with SmokeNINJA PRO V2, and where can I use it?
Use it to create controlled atmosphere for film, video, photography, cosplay, events, theatre, tabletop and miniature scenes, and practical product shoots. The available bundles support both individual creative setups and multi-unit production workflows.
Which SmokeNINJA PRO V2 bundle should I choose?
Choose Basic for the SmokeNINJA PRO V2 unit, wireless remote, and smoke-shaping accessories. Choose Hazer for cinematic haze, Trident for a three-unit control setup, Snow Bubbles for smoke-filled bubbles, or Cosplayer for on-body smoke setups. Tabletop and Vanishing Formula bundles include Vanishing Formula accessories.
Does every bundle include the Haze Nozzle?
No. The Haze Nozzle is only included with the Hazer, Trident, and Snow Bubbles Bundle. It is not included with the Basic, Cosplayer, Tabletop, and Vanishing Formula bundles. Check the contents of the selected bundle before ordering.
What comes with the Basic bundle?
The Basic bundle includes one SmokeNINJA PRO V2 unit, a wireless remote, and smoke-shaping accessories. It is the starting setup for controlled fog, steam, and dry-ice-style effects.
What is the Trident bundle?
The Trident bundle combines three SmokeNINJA PRO V2 units in a multi-unit control setup for productions that need coordinated effects from more than one unit.
What is the Snow Bubbles bundle for?
The Snow Bubbles bundle pairs a Hazer Kit with bubble formula and nozzle accessories to create smoke-filled bubble effects.
What is included in the Cosplayer bundle?
The Cosplayer bundle pairs a Basic Kit with a Smoke Vest for on-body smoke setups for costumes, character reveals, photography, and video.
What are the Tabletop and Vanishing Formula bundles?
The Tabletop Kit includes a dedicated dry-ice nozzle kit for controlled dry-ice-style effects in tabletop, miniature, and practical product scenes. The Vanishing Formula Kit is designed mainly for studio photographers who need fast-dissipating effects during repeated shoots, helping reduce haze buildup where smoke alarms are a concern. Detector behaviour varies by venue, so confirm venue requirements and test the setup before shooting.
How can I control SmokeNINJA PRO V2?
You can control SmokeNINJA PRO V2 with the wireless remote or USB-C. An optional wired button is also available. DMX control requires the optional DMX module.
Where can I find setup help and tutorials?
