well the chamber size is 2 inches tick and about 5 inches long by the way the screw doesnt have to give a big spark right?cause mine gives a tiny spark.

to fill that chamber you should only have to spray it for about a sec. or 2 maybe yeah it doesn't really need a big spark just a little

i made one just for fun out of a film canister and a conector pen tube and you guys are right it takes only the tiniest amount of fuel

on mine it takes about 3-4 seconds of lighter gas in the chamber for it to work

I think thats what you have to use on the minis because other fuel you cant get in that little of amount. Axe will just flood the chamber.

yeah, try butane, for a small one i hold down the button on a lighter, but i dont strike the flint. if you have any, try some cologne in a spritz bottle that only sprays out a very small amount, that works good, and when you run out of cologne you can fill it up with something else (i got tons of cologne so i just keep using that, makes the gun smell good)

Do you have an injection for the butane or are you taking off the cap and trying to get it to go in there? If your trying that all the gas is disapating and hardly any is going in your chamber. So you need to use colonge or make a butane injection system. Hopefully it works for you. Its worth it once you get it done.
