Excellent! What did you use for fueling?
Looks really nice for a first effort :)

You wouldn't happen to be the same person as an old user named "Rambo" would you?

Good job on the aesthetics!

Propane's a good fuel choice. :) Won't gunk up your chamber's insides either.

What's the chamber diameter?

Guys, seriously... Europe is a continent, not a country :P

Rambo had the Bulgarian flag in his avatar, while niksechtniks' sports the Dutch flag.

Also, Rambo *has* resurfaced, over a year ago!

I didn't know Rambo had "resurfaced", lol. I knew the flags were different too, I just thought there were some similarities.

Enough talking about that, though, good job again on the build. Hairspray is pretty difficult to use in the first place, and with a smaller chamber it becomes nearly impossible. Butane would be a good choice.
