"Smoke Pill" scented smoke fluid

I've received many requests for quite a long time for the classic scent of the old Smoke Pills in a fluid form for all of the modern smoke units out there. I've actually tested it w/ quite a few people and have seen mixed results. 50% say it's either right on or really close, 50% say not close at all...I've been through 7 different formulas.

I agree with how one tester put it, "This is a tough scent to recreate for two reasons. First, it has to be right on the money for people to remember the smell. It's not like strawberry or chocolate scents, where if you're close the mind will pick up that it is strawberry or chocolate. The smoke fluid pills had a unique scent to them.

The second reason why this scent is a little tricky is because you are creating a scent that is a memory scent for many people who ran postwar trains. Because of this, each person may remember the scent a little different than the next. Also when running postwar trains, you have the smell of ozone and grease that combine with the smoke scent to for a
combined fragrance.

I think the scent is close enough to satisfy most of your customers, though I think some may feel it is not similar enough to the original Lionel pill scent..."

So, combine that w/ the fact that the sense of smell is the most subjective sense, I've decided NOT to bring "Smoke Pill" fluid to the market, but I've decided to tell YOU how to make what was the "right on or really close" formula for 50% of the testers, which was my formula #7...

Ready...mix 2/3 Wood Stove and 1/3 Bayberry. That's it. If you want to try it for yourselves, go ahead. This way if you like it...fine, if not...you didn't spend any extra $$$ on a bottle of "Smoke Pill" fluid you didn't like. You don't even have to mix a whole bottle of it, just mix it by estimating the mix ratio when refilling your smoke unit...

For example...an MTH fan-driven unit takes 15 drops...that would be 10 Wood Stove/ 5 Bayberry. If your smoke unit takes 10 drops...try 7 Wood Stove/ 3 Bayberry.

Thanks to all who participated in the testing.
