Any tips on what to use for smoke? I just took advantage of blowing out the scented candle my girlfriend was burning.

I get what you meant though, compositionally, #3 is my favorite, and it's got the most void space out of all the images, but I found when things got thin a the end the line was too striaght or disturbance made it into a thin cloud, instead of a crisp stream.

Incent sticks work the best for me, also allows you to shake or move it to add a different motion to the smoke!!
