Butane Lighter Fill Valves

[Eddbot]

i'm planning on making a "fill and pray" mini...plinker...thing...of doom,
anyway, i was wondering if anyone knew where to get butane fill valves or if i'm just gonna have to buy a lighter and butane refill to harvest the valves

oh, and if anyone knew how the valves actually worked, i would really appreciate an explanation

I think it would be easier and cheaper to buy a lighter and cut it in half then epoxy it in a nipple or any fitting that would be be big enough

[Eddbot]

yeah, that's what i was planning on, but if i could find one i wouldn't have to waste the refill just for the valve

[BlackH]

yes like so

[jimmy101]

uh, a butane lighter already has a valve on it.
Just stick a small ID hose (I use wire insulation as the hose) on it and glue the other end into a small hole in the chamber.

tubing used in paintball guns such as ions and autocockers works as well
