I beleive that effect was pre-rendered or drawn. It follows a pattern, one stream will wave on the right, a huge puff emerges and one goes vertical then it stops and loops again, so not particle generation.

anway I attached a quick experiment in mask and duplication I did a while back. Ignore anything stupid (I name and declare according to mood and here I was just screwing around so there are plenty of bad habits) and don’t read it too close or you will more than likely find too many mistakes. Dispite the fact it’s a flame it could easily be smoke by fading it rather than scaling it and posibly if it was irregular you could rotate it too.
