HyperSmoke™ Automotive Smoke Machine
The HyperSmoke™ is the most affordable professional-grade automotive smoke machine for diagnosing EVAP, vacuum, intake, exhaust, and turbo/boost leaks — in under 60 seconds. Starting at $59.99, it delivers OEM-approved smoke output with Hyperdrive™ instant-warmup technology and two switchable pressure modes: EVAP (0–1 PSI) for sensitive low-pressure systems and Normal (0–7 PSI) for intake, turbo, and exhaust. Powered by any 12V DC source — including your car battery — it ships with two 20 ml packets of AutoLine Pro OEM-approved smoke fluid for roughly 240 minutes of testing out of the box. Trusted by professional shops and DIY mechanics alike, and backed by a 5-year warranty with USA-based support.
Best for: independent repair shops and professional technicians who want a reliable, dual-mode bench machine; mobile mechanics working out of a truck; modified and turbo enthusiasts diagnosing pressurized intake and boost systems; and DIY mechanics chasing check-engine codes (P0171, P0455, P0456, P0457).

Who it's for
- Independent repair shops & technicians: A dependable, professional-grade bench machine — dual pressure modes cover both EVAP and turbo work with one tool. Keep your primary unit on the lift and a HyperSmoke on the bench.
- Mobile mechanics: Light, 12V powered, no air-line dependency — it goes in the truck.
- Modified / turbo enthusiasts: Normal mode (0–7 PSI) safely tests pressurized intake and boost systems where many budget machines stop at 1 PSI.
- DIY mechanics & enthusiasts: Professional-grade capability made affordable — capable enough to find the leak on the first try. Pairs with an OBD-II scanner when chasing P0455, P0456, or P0171 codes.

What it diagnoses
The HyperSmoke introduces pressurized, OEM-approved smoke into any sealed automotive system and reveals leaks at the point where smoke escapes. Common uses: EVAP system leaks (gas cap, filler neck, purge/vent valves, canister), intake-manifold and vacuum-line leaks, exhaust leaks, turbo/boost leaks on pressurized systems, and fuel-vapor line leaks. For step-by-step guides, see the AutoLine Pro leak-diagnosis learning center.
Diagnose intake, vacuum, exhaust & EVAP leaks with ultra-thick, high-visibility smoke.
OEM-approved formula delivers thick, safe smoke with 240 minutes of runtime per bottle.
Two pressure modes (Normal & EVAP), easy fluid fill, and immediate setup with 12V car battery.

FAQs
Will it work for me?
You can diagnose leaks in:
- EVAP systems
- Vacuum lines
- Intake systems
- Exhaust systems
- Fuel vapor lines
Basically, anything sealed that shouldn't leak — this machine finds it.
Normal Mode (0–7 PSI): For intake, vacuum, exhaust testing and more
EVAP Mode (0–1 PSI): For EVAP system diagnostics (low-pressure sensitive components)
Switching modes takes seconds via the pressure knob.
Yes. These EVAP (P0455, P0456, P0457) and lean-condition (P0171) codes are caused by the kinds of leaks the
HyperSmoke is built to find. Use EVAP mode for evaporative-emissions codes and Normal mode to chase the vacuum or intake leaks behind a lean code.
Yes. The HyperSmoke™ is designed for all gasoline vehicles and most light-duty diesel systems. Just ensure you follow the safety guidelines, use in well-ventilated areas, and never operate it with the engine running.
Yes. Switch to Normal mode to safely pressurize intake, charge-pipe, and boost systems and pinpoint leaks that cause boost loss or codes. Many budget machines max out at 1 PSI and can't test boost systems.
Yes. The HyperSmoke works on any sealed system that shouldn't leak — including motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, marine engines, and small engines — anywhere you need to find an intake, vacuum, exhaust, or fuel-system leak. Use EVAP mode for low-pressure components.
It's built for gasoline vehicles and most light-duty diesels. It isn't intended for heavy-duty diesel emissions systems or for use on a running engine, and it isn't a replacement for a scan tool — pair it with an OBD-II scanner for code-driven diagnostics.

Yes. Connect it to a 12V battery, add smoke fluid, choose your pressure mode, and introduce smoke into the system — most first-timers find their leak within minutes. Step-by-step videos and guides are included and available on the AutoLine Pro YouTube channel and learning center.
It runs directly off any 12V DC battery (your car battery works perfectly). No external air compressor or wall outlet required.
No. The HyperSmoke has a built-in air compressor and runs off any 12V DC battery, including your car battery. There's no shop air line or wall outlet required, which makes it ideal for mobile and at-home use.
There are a few methods depending on the system:
- EVAP: Use the gas cap adapter or EVAP service port
- Intake: Use the included cone or DIY latex glove adapter
- Exhaust: Insert the cone into the tailpipe and seal the other end
We include video guides and diagrams in the manual and on this page. You can also visit our YouTube page for more helpful information and tips.
Yes. Each unit includes a starter bottle of AutoLine Pro Smoke Fluid, specifically engineered for thick, visible, OEM-approved output.
Every HyperSmoke includes two 20 ml packets of AutoLine Pro OEM-approved smoke fluid. Each packet fills the reservoir for about 120 minutes of active smoke generation — so you get two full 120-minute cycles out of the box, enough for dozens of typical leak tests. When you need more, 8 oz refill bottles are sold separately (and included in the Premium Adapter Kit); each 8 oz bottle delivers 20+ hours of runtime.
Refilling takes seconds — add AutoLine Pro OEM-approved smoke fluid to the reservoir. Refill bottles are available on autolinepro.com; an 8oz bottle provides 20+ hours of smoke generation. We recommend AutoLine Pro fluid only, as other fluids can clog the unit or void the warranty.
We strongly recommend using AutoLine Pro Smoke Fluid only. It's optimized for visibility, safety, and system longevity. Other fluids may clog, underperform, or void your warranty.
Is it the right buy?
The Shop Series is the HyperSmoke's predecessor — the HyperSmoke improves on it in nearly every way, so for a new purchase we recommend the HyperSmoke.
The Ventus is a different class of tool, best for shop owners who do a lot of EVAP testing: a built-in lithium-ion battery (8-hour runtime, the only machine on the market with one), fully self-contained operation (no compressor or 12V leads), a built-in flow meter to gauge leak size, Atomic Smoke instant odorless smoke, up to 75 hours per bottle, regulated 1 PSI pressure, and a lifetime warranty.
The HyperSmoke is the better choice for everyone else — our newest model, with ultra-thick smoke, two pressure modes (Normal 0–7 PSI and EVAP 0–1 PSI), 20+ hours per 8 oz bottle, and a 5-year warranty when purchased directly from AutoLine Pro.
The HyperSmoke holds its own against both budget machines like Solary and premium units like Redline Detection or Ancel.
Against budget competitors, its biggest advantages are a regulated, adjustable pressure, EVAP safe, included smoke fluid, and continuous runtime without overheating.
Against premium units that cost several times more, it delivers the core capabilities most shops and DIYers actually need — adjustable dual-mode pressure, a built-in air motor, and instant thick smoke — at a fraction of the price, backed by a 5-year warranty (when purchased directly from AutoLine Pro) and U.S.-based support.

Yes. It's one of the most-reviewed budget smoke machines available, with hundreds of verified buyers using it to find leaks that would otherwise mean hours of guesswork or a shop visit. For about the cost of a single shop diagnostic, you get a tool that pays for itself on the first repair, plus a 5-year warranty and U.S.-based support.
The HyperSmoke is covered against manufacturing defects for 5 years when purchased directly from AutoLine Pro at autolinepro.com. Units purchased through Amazon carry a 3-year warranty.
