What sources of smoke do you use if you don't have cigarrettes? Incense?

I need to see some 'O' rings :p

Im sure there are flickr smoke photography groups.

I tried using Incense sticks, but the smoke wasn't at all thick enough so I tried everything from Cigarettes to paper... the only thing that worked in the end (used in all 3 photos above) was Gaffa tape! the stuff is amazing. plus i was stoned by the time i left the garage from the fumes!!!
