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?

Very much like Rambo's combustion indeed!

The avatar as well... it's curious. :p

Would be cool to see such an old member resurface.

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 dont know this guy called Rambo =P

the chamber is 4 cm in diameter and 50 cm in lenght
and i took the design of a barret .50 (kinda)
took the pvc pipe that i had laying around the farm and created this


Did ''Rambo'' had the same avatar as me??
well im no him that's for sure haha

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.
