#Vapor lingering?

I'm in need of a little help with Vapor. I've got a project similar to MartinF's laser burn but somewhat different. I've got an axp cube linked to a dummy that's on a path. While the smoke looks nice the problem is making it linger behind the moving cube. I've tried turning down the SMD but it doesn't really help. I'd like to have the smoke hang around for about 30 frames or so behind it's emitter before dissipating. Anyone have any ideas? I don't think Martin's technique of using multiple emitters would work here but it's possible. If there's no other way to achieve what I'd like then I'll do that. Thanks DM

Dave, >> I'd like to have the smoke hang around for about 30 frames or so behind it's emitter before dissipating. << have you tried messing with particle lifespan? That might help get something closer to what you want.
