Not having seen the latest JJC offering I cant comment, but Im sure it must be in the same ballpark.

Apparently it uses a ceramic membrane to convert standing water to a fine mist....too fine really for our uses as wee need to represent smoke/steam and not some witches cauldron.
As it comes out of the top of the unit, it sort of rolls down and across the table, but if you duct it up a pipe with a fan, it seems to 'chop' the mist into more like the the effect we try to get with burning oil.
The rig I made to work it was plastic drain pipe...a 'la under the kitchen sink, but after a few mins it wanted to burn through that, leaving a small bulge in the plastic. I've since slid an ally shield down it and that sorted it out.
The supplied tranny primary is 240v ac and secondary is 24 v...im presuming DC? But when I hook up 2 12v's to give me 24v, the output is pitiful, you can see it come out, but at far less output than is required to agitate the water into the required vapour.
And yes....I did check to see that I had hooked up the batts to give 24v, checked with meter on that.
On the bench using the transformer, this unit is the pups sticky out bit and very inexpensive, both to buy and on its amps!
