RV 6 smoke injector recommendations

My RV 6 was original built with hand made smoke injectors. When I become the owner they were 100% blocked with exhaust residue. I cleaned them out but they shot oil and didn’t amortize correct. I’m looking for recommendation’s on a replacement Injector. On a time crunch so I’m not looking to make any up myself.
Thanks in advance!

Homsley Smoke Oil Injector (ACS)

I vote for Smoke System Helper (or "Homsley Smoke Oil Injector (ACS)"), which seem to be the identical. Have installed 4 of them (2x2) in Extra´s (AEIO-580) and can say nothing but good of them! I´ve installed them something like 10 inch downstream of the #1 and #2 exhaust flange (just before #3 and #4 meet the exhaust manifold) to maximize the time the smoke oil can vaporize while inside the exhaust manifold. I´ve used the regulator valve to reduce the pollution of the fuselage to a fine mist, while there is still great smoke.
