Overview
The PMI Vanishing Formula Kit is a specialised atmospheric fluid system designed for creators who need precise control over how smoke and haze behave in-camera. Unlike standard smoke fluids that linger and build density over time, the Vanishing Formula is engineered to dissipate quickly, allowing filmmakers and photographers to create controlled, short-lived atmospheric effects without filling the entire environment.
Optimised for use within the SmokeNINJA ecosystem, this formula is ideal for shots where atmosphere must appear and disappear on cue — such as product reveals, tabletop cinematography, macro sequences, interviews, and clean studio environments. It gives creators the ability to “place” smoke in a scene momentarily, without long recovery times or unwanted residue buildup.
The Vanishing Formula is particularly useful in multi-take setups where consistency and speed are critical. Its fast-evaporating behaviour makes it easier to reset scenes quickly, while still delivering visible, cinematic diffusion when activated.
