Assuming some people don't smoke DW. If you did, a pack of Red Apples would work just fine.
I remember using a nifty little contraption looking for leaks on the main condenser. Tiny little bottle that generated smoke when air was sucked through it. Just moved it by all the packing glands until we found leaks. I can't find it.... yet. IIRC, it works on similar principles to an e-cigarette sans batteries.
Speaking of, an e-cig would be another option.

Not sure I could think of smoke generated by household items that would be entirely safe for us or our cars to breathe.

there was something about ping pong balls a water bottle and a hose to direct the smoke...burning the ping pong balls and squeezing the bottle.

Dry ice in a water bottle with a little spout?

So....the dry ice fumes....would in fact stay visible through the intake stream? Maybe we first need to define "what a some test is, does, and tests.
This is a brainstorming thread.
I wanna see some juices flowing.

Perhaps Marlboro Reds? That might be Red Apples. I'm too lazy to Google it.
Anyway, I think dry ice and water would work best - at least to see where the air is getting sucked in the engine. So, it might tell you where a vacuum leak is; however, you will not be able to trace it through the rest of the intake.

I'm in for suggestions, I'm looking for any small vacuum leaks that are eluding me.

Good video of a pro-smoke system for people not familiar with the process.
