Hey i have a mini cannon i just made about 1 or 2 mins ago and the propelent wont do anything when i press the ignition, and the ignition works fine.

Can someone plz help

You probably have WAY too much fuel to ignite. Try removing the cap and slowly wave the gun back and forth 2 or 3 times.

thnxs man it acualy worked

Good! Post some pics.

this is my first mini cannon so it sucks but it does shoot pretty well

Last night i found the best and easiest way to get the right amount of fuel i your mini.
you get a lighter the ones that you can control how much gas comes out with the little turning switch thing (it not a switch I cant explain it)
1:You take the metal protecting thing off
2: Then get that switchy thing lift it up and turn it to the left thenput it down and turn the valve control with it then repeat around 3-5 times
I know that is hard to understand
but if you do under stand you dont even have to hold it down just press it really quickly

Ah... in other words you turn it into a fueling source for a little overhead welding? Also known as a crack torch. Not a bad idea really.

I mentioned that in a different thread. The butane is a good fuel. It lasts a pretty long time since you don't use much, so the cost isn't really anything significant compared to any other fuel. Plus, a lighter is just a nice size.

What I'm curious about is why other people DON"T use butane? There isn't anything bad about it I can think of. Maybe if you are a minor and cannot get lighters easily. But you can find them on the ground once in a while if you keep your eyes open. That is how I get most of mine.

/\ I find money, lighters, and lots of cool stuff on the ground drive everyone I know crazy.

what u need to do is use the disposable BIC lighters and then attach the butane injector then u can regulate the output by the extension cord inside it. then ignite it works really well on small models
