Default Smoke systems

I am concidering putting a smoke system on one of my ships.
The thing is already overweight and not real big.
What is the lightest weight reliable system out there?
I have looked at some but there around 1/2 pound w/o fluid. There has to be more out there that I never heard of.

This is for a gasser.
I run 100:1 amsoil so there is no smoke.
In my Stinger I run Sig 30% with 1oz of castor added, it smoke a lot more than Magnum

I put a smoke system in my Funtana 90. Its a TME simple smoker, TME makes a number of different pumps. The way I ahd my rigged was the pump and bettery were strapped to the tank. Then the tank was velcro strapped onto a former in the plane. This way it could easily be removed if I wanted to make the plane lighter for practicing IMAC or whatever and also makes it easier to work on. Not sure how much the system wieghed. I ended up taking it out due to it being messy and not being able to regulate the flow of the smoke.
