If you want a more reliable ignition, use a negative ion generator (available at electronic goldmine)... you can get a continuous 1/4" gap from them... its what my version uses, and my ignition is 100% reliable.

The ion generator offered by that website uses 120VAC. Would it work with just battery power?

they offer two generators... one is rated for 120VAC the other for 12VDC... the 12VDC model will run fine on 9VDC from a battery, or 12vDC from an N type security battery (for short runs).

Ah, ok. I only saw the 120VAC version. Thanks for the info.

but arent those usually powered by 120 ac? the system i use is reliable enough for what it does though

the one from electronic goldmine is 12Vdc, designed for car uses... it works great off 9-18v from 9v batteries

might be interesting to try. ill look into it or you could try it when they finally post my instructable

sweet but u should try things such as putting the nozzle or the butane at an angle up maybe 35 degrees? that way you can tilt your hand/wrist down and it still shoots straigh making less fire hazards and opening up an oppurtunity for a larger flame

if you put a tiny piece of copper in the flame, it will turn green. thanks
