Well a lot of people use Propane injection, i love butane its just hard to get right. So why not have butane injection? i used an old camping stove that i had laying around and modified the burner to inject butane into my Cannon. I will post pictures tomorrow tell me wat u think of the idea

very creative, i like the idea, i thought of the same thing before but didnt think my parent would let me take our little portable stove apart.

i'd love to see it, it would be a great use for mini's, and also to some of our european friends who cant get parts for a prop. setup as easily

that brings something up, can u take apart a lighter, and take the tiny fill valve and eproxy it on you gun? it is a check valve on its own after all.

About the lighter thing, i tried that before. bad idea. the little bastard flew out and hit my friend haha.. oops. But maybe it mite work properly. I used JB Weld and i know that stuff holds pretty strong. My setup may be bulky but it works well. I have the inject part off my camping stove and then that hooks up to a reg that i have tapped into my chamber. Yesterday i added a chamber fan. man i never knew what a difference that would make, its way better now. I also got my hands on some 8in sch 160 stainless steel. Im thinking about making a hybrid with it, sch 160 should hold some major pressure if i get my father to weld for me, i can weld but not "strong" ones. Pictures of my gun coming soon.

stainless steel? sweet!
and if i used the small valve, i would let a loose fitting coupling cover it when i fire.
