Seattle smoke-type vacuum leak detector?

Does anybody in the Seattle area have a smoke-type vacuum leak detector?
I'd love to bring you beer if you can run my 3vze and check for vacuum leaks.
Second best would be a MAPP torch. Thanks for any PM!

Thanks Tofer! I may take you up on that...I see from your sig that you're in Tacoma...
do you ever head up Seattle way? Haven't tried running soapy water over everything yet, I'm debating about buying a propane torch but still feel a bit wary waving it around the engine. Maybe I should fill a spray bottle with soap first. Still I hear that the smoke method is the best bar none, would love to give that a try.
