I'll share the shader when it's finished.  I'm not very good in explaining things
actually... (not in English anyway).  I can tell you however, that there is actually
only
one very simple blob used, and a rounded cone would be good enough.  The previous
version
used the blob's geometry to give the smoke some shape, but as you can see the results
are
much better now.
