I don't know if making blue smoke is possible. Perhaps a blue flame would be better. Indium salts will be blue I believe.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
