Any ideas on how to do this?  I've tested vegetable glycerine and it seems to work well for making decent smoke.  Now how would I get that in a container and make the container able to spray it at a later time.

Basically I'm making a fog machine that would shoot a large amount of smoke quickly.

nevermind....I just found it after months of looking.

EDIT:  It was a broken link after I started getting into so on goes the search.

Are you looking for a typical fog generator?  A unit that heats fog juice to create white fog?  Or are you looking for something that is compressed (like a spray can)?

I can only help with letting smoke out of a container, usually involves a controller or similar and an electronic type smell.

That's kind of expensive "magic" smoke, and known to be hard to recompress.
