I'm having a bit of problems with propane, I've tried inserting anything ranging from 1 percent of the volume of the mini to about 10 percent, still none of the mixtures went boom, I did get a spark, does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

*edit* oh yeah, I'm using an Afterbite stick as a chamber and a spark plug as the ignition source.

How did you measure it? Did you use a syringe? Mini are pretty tricky to get to work.

Your mix just isn't right. Minis are tricky, so make sure you vent well and measure precisely.

I used a syringe yes, Maybe I need to remeasure it, or use a fuel like alcohol.

On another note.
I've already made a cool stock, pictures when it's painted.

For minis I have done is spray it in the air, then run the mini were you sprayed it in the air. It kind of works. What is the volume of it?

Calculate its volume and then calculate how much propane you need at 4%. Figure out how much of the sytinge that is and Voila.
Buy the lighter refiler butane thingy works really good with them syringes.

Right, the chamber was way to small, I needed less than a mililiter of propane, I got a larger chamber and it works now.

Nice, glad to hear it worked. Did you calculate the right volume and everything? You should post it on minis.

Yeah, it fully works now, well worked, I disintegrated the end cap with a little aid of a wall.

I have a mini of only 22cc and it fires every time with 1/2 a cc of butane, it shoots q tips approx 40 feet at an upwards trajectory of about 20 degrees.

Peace
