Lol nice "Direct Butane"

I made another Mini last night... I make like one a day.... because I can almost never get the Mix right I just get mad and make a new one.... lol

I found a Case of like 24 of thoose bug $3 Scripto lighters with the really nice igniters that you can solder too... and they all had full butanes... yay :D

Someone should make a mini pneumatic with a mini piston valve with like a pencil eraser as a piston.

benstern, i had that idea months ago! I was going to use a valve from a basket ball. Nice little mini you got there, how do you get the butane out of those things anyway? I have one and cant get the butane out.
