Today I was firing my combustion. It was't firing right because the screws shifted. I opened the cap, pressed the ignition, and BOOM ALL OVER MY FACE it exploded and destroyed the threading on it. Luckily I only lost some hair because I was wearing safety googles.

If the cap was off it wouldn't explode the aerosol would just ignite.

Sounds like there was too much fuel in there.

It just had one really big flame then started burning the combustion chamber.

Yeah that happened with mine because I left my friend with it alone for 5 min. If the threads are melted together just use a razor blade or a file to cut apart the stuff inbetween them. But if they are too messed up just buy a new one it will cost you maybe $1.
