Smoke machine

Does anyone think this would be good as a vacuum leak detector , dependant on the type of fluid used

The volume is more than enough which can be controlled but its getting sufficient low pressure in to force it to where it needs to go ?

From a distance .
I've tried the hair dryer method using a piece of lint soaked in baby oil which served both purposes of creating the smoke ( loads of it ) and low pressure blowing it into the aperture of the throttle body but I couldn't control the heat aspect and burnt out the wire element . I have thought of going down the route of building my own via Youtube which is simple enough ,but I came across the smoke machine and just wondered for the price it wouldn't be so heath robinson in design and everything's in place to create the smoke , I just need to find a way of pressuring the output .
