First off, sorry if this is a stupid question, I used the search function but didnt find anything.
Yesterday, I decided I wanted a dual purge on my car.
I looked them up and decided I could make one myself for ten bucks. So I used an old SuperPowershot solenoid and a 1/8 t fitting from the hardware store, and some air lines.

When I purge its invisible.
Do i need a special nozzle to make the 'cloud'?
here is a picture of the setup (sorry its terrible by the way)

make sure your bottle is a good bottle

i had an old bottle and i couldnt make it produce any cloud whichever way the pickup line was. i bought a newer gen bottle and it produced a white cloud.

This is the bottle I have

I had it tested and they said it was good.
Now sorry if this is just the basics but if its at like 800psi would it still produce a cloud?
I dont have a heater because I barely drive the car and when I did in the past it was always warm enough that you wouldnt need a heater for just basic use.
I need to get one!

it's not the bottle, it has a lot to do with the outside temp.
if it's warmer outside than what the bottle is it's going to be hard to see it.

alright then that is probably it.
so I dont need any special nozzles then?

no special nozzle. it has to do with outside temperature and humidity. the colder and wetter the air is, the more of a cloud you'll see.
