Akai,
I am using a terrarium humidifier to test screws for corrosion . It puts out a visible fog. What is application?

There are smoke test devices like pencils, matches, and candles made for the HVAC industry. With or without fire they produce a small amount of visible smoke that can be followed. These cost about $10 and up. 

If you need more volume, then a fog machine might do the trick. Being October, these might be easy to find as Halloween decorations. You’ll probably spend at least $50 for a machine and fog juice. You can also rent these from places that specialize in event production. 

If you want keep this low cost you can use regular matches or tobacco. You can get a pack of cigarettes or a cheap cigar for less than the above.

The cheap cigar option was suggested to me. No clue on price, since I don't smoke.

Just pick up some cheap incense from the dollar store. Works just like the hvac sticks.

I'd try a can of starting fluid (basically spray ether). Try little sprays periodically around the engine components. When you get near the leak, it will make the engine rev higher as it gets sucked in.

Unless it's downstream from a turbo, in which case the pipes will be pressurized and won't pull air in.

Use a vape pen!

If it's a vacuum leak then Ether (Starting fluid) or good old WD-40 will work to pinpoint the leak, WD being a tad safer.

Could you you a vape?

A vape should work.

If "custom" was mass produced... it would just be a "product line."
