mmm Bedo wasn't asking for plans... but okay. anyways, bedo... it really depends on the size of the chamber. You simply have to experiment and count out how long makes the perfect ratio.

hey built one of these last night! cant get the darn thing to work tho. ive fiddled with the spacing between the screws, but to no avail. buth if u got urs to work, thats damn cool!!

ps to all new people, its considered to be annoyin if u ask 4 plans, so dont do it, or u will hav more experienced people telling u off bout it. so i wouldnt if i were u. plus, if u cant figure out how something as simple as this works, dont build em!

Very Nice Very Nice I Like how you attached the lighter itself, makes it so much easier for fuel on hand. Does it detach by chance? That would be great for a "Fuel Cartrige"
