While this could be a fun device, mine apparently is defective. I never even got the chance to
perform with it. First it started coming apart and I had to use duct tape to keep it together, then
the battery quit holding a charge. Even when not in use the battery discharges after about a day.
As I stated this is just with some practice. I am disappointed.

If you are a working magician, this is for you. This is extremely durable, and produces really good
smoke. It is possible to change the amount of smoke produced while at home, but I don't see it being
done in front of spectators. The amount of juice provided should last a LONG time. In my opinion,
this is what Shin Lim tried to get with SSS. This truly is Silent Sleeveless Smoke.
Pros:
-Silent
-No hookup
-Durable
-Long Lasting
Cons:
-Possibility of minor
burn if handled incorrectly

As advertised. Very nice. Works great and a few drops go a long way. Holds a nice charge. Very
pleased.

This is by far the best smoke device for its price, whilst something like the vapr watch (VW) would
be a better option (In my opinion) for the price what you're getting is insane!

I like this device so much that I bought 2 of them. The device takes up about as much space as 3
half dollars in thickness & circumference to finger palm. In coordination with a magnetic holdout in
your back pocket or elsewhere the device can be easily brought in and out of play. This is the smoke
device you have been waiting for especially if wanting for use in walk around or strolling. Can be
done completely sleeveless with no setup. Well actually the only setup is a few drops of the juice &
turning it on, lol. Like I mentioned earlier one side of the device is magnetic which makes it
really functional for ditching. No tubes or sleeves necessary. This can be done shirtless!, Right
after I bought 2 of these the Smoke Cube was mentioned for upcoming release at about the same price
I paid for 2 Smoke Screens & I was a little worried that I should've waited to see how good
Miranda's Cube was. But after seeing the reviews & its issues with noise I really am glad now that I
made the right decision to go with Smoke Screen. The price is a steal compared to other devices. The
only con I will mention is this; it does not produce extremely thick smoke like other devices might.
It's just enough to give an enhancement & if loaded with the proper amount of juices is damn near
completely silent. Imagine enhancing our simple yet already strong effects with added smoke, like
Omni Deck, Phantom Deck, Inferno, etc... All you have to do is reach to your back pocket or holdout
& finger palm & bring it into play for a quick enhancement then ditch it via a magnet. I love mine &
am happy to own 2!!

Smoke Screen is a terrific alternative to the more traditional smoke delivery systems. Be mindful of
not holding the unit too close to your spectator (as it does throw some heat); however, it is easy
to finger palm and generates a nice visual.

I have purchased a lot of smoke devices, this one is by far my favorite.
It is good quality,
easy to ditch, easy to hold and activate. I have had a lot of fun telling my friends that I can
charge their phone with just my hands and they can watch the battery level rise. You won't believe
how fast they can snatch their phone out of your hand when smoke starts rolling out of it. This
thing adds a lot to coin bending routines.

I like this gimmick. Fit's fairly well in the palm of my hand. I don't have the largest hands but
have used this a few times in a few coin bending performances leaving my spectators with their
mouths hanging open or saying "no way" while their staring at coin. A lot great ideas given with the
video download that you can build on. Gave it a 5 because it's hard to tell when you have it on the
correct setting to charge and it could use some add ons to make it easier as a hold out though they
do suggest a way for you to create your own. The unit could be a lil easier to determine when it's
on charging mode.

I wish the option to buy this instead of smoke cube came up sooner. I would have purchased 4 of
these units instead of two smoke cubes. They tell you how to fix it, you get an understanding of
how it works. I have a magnetic holdout in my back left pocket in a zippo, with another neo magnet
in my pocket, so ditching this thing tonight with minimal misdirection at the bar tonight was a
breeze. I made peoples drinks smoke without hot ice, The form in it fitting in finger palm and the
squeeze activation made this easier to use. So close up or street, this is way better, while timed
stage or parlor applications, smoke cube. And I have used a lot of smoke devices, as a
worker...this is the best. Next paycheck...I am getting two more.

Quick note: I purchased this at Magi-Fest so although this review will not have the "verified buyer"
tag, I have purchased this and have been using it since.
I have used Pure Smoke, Vapr, and
Mystery Smoke in the past. All three of these devices had the same problem. They were too
inconvenient and I couldn't use them casually as they all had to be worn under my clothes and the
restrictions did not make it possible to wear casual clothes. Another issue they all had was the
noise. Some were better at reducing the noise as much as possible, but none the less, they all had a
noise. Smoke Screen has taken every problem that you could think of with a smoke device and
completely eliminated them!
Smoke Screen is small and compact. Because of its size, you
have ZERO clothing restrictions. If you can finger palm a coin, you can perform Smoke Screen. It is
COMPLETELY SILENT! because there is no motor that is emitting the smoke through a tube, there is no
noise and the smoke appears instantly. The smoke you can produce is not too thick, but not too
faint. It is the perfect amount of smoke to truly enhance your magic. It is easy to bring in and out
of play so you can have it on you whenever you want and perform it whenever and wherever you want.
It is durable and will last a long time before you need to replace the wick so the chances of it
getting damaged are very unlikely. It is super easy to refill and takes less than 15 seconds to do.
I don't think I will ever use a different smoke device. Get this now!
