Abstract: A smoke generating device is disclosed which utilizes a rechargable cartridge containing a vaporizable, smoke producing solution. The cartridge includes an aperture which is filled by a one-way, flap-type seal. When mounting the cartridge to the smoke generating device, a feed tube is inserted through the flap-type seal into the cartridge. In this manner, the contents of the cartridge are supplied to a valve means within the smoke generating device. When the valve means is actuated, the smoke producing fluid flows through a vaporizer coil. Heat supplied by a gas burner or other heating device vaporizes the smoke producing solution which issues as a dense simulated smoke from a smoke discharge nozzle. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a flow restricting means is provided in the vaporizer coil to maintain the rate of flow of smoke producing liquid within a predetermined range.
