I was using Axe today when the nozzle popped off and i was wondering if you could use a meter thing similar to a propane one. You would slide a clear peice of tubing over the nozzle then run the other end into your gun. Another thing that would be good about it is that it would fit other nozzles also cause there all the same size. The only problem i see is that the spray might condense in the tubing. Reply if you have any concerns or suggestions. The pics below are to show the nozzles are the same size and the differnt spray cans.

It would be significantly less powerful and harder to meter.

The problem with metering this is that it will liquify. (That's bad.) Metering a liquid is much harder and then will need to be atomized again once injected.

Good luck Pimp. There will be much cursing.

hmmm what i find is that though the liquid is flammable another part of it is that it is powered by propane...i might still work...just not as well

I'm fairly certain it can be stored IN a liquid much like the CO2 in soda pop.

You could do this, but you'd need to put a nozzle inside the chamber that would atomize the liquid. I have a hand-pump mister (the kind you use on hot summer days) with a nozzle that would work perfectly. Maybe you could get a hand-pump mister like that, mount the nozzle in the chamber, put flamable liquid in it, and voila?

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

This is interesting, I really need to know if this can be done.
I have tried it with clear tubing and the spray just becomes a liquid inside the tube.
It would be very useful for minis and micros.

I believe its all in the input and output nozzles, also I think it will only work with a straight tube.
