would love to see this in combination with colored flame. You'd need to add separate chemicals so another pipe altogether most likely.

Do you not mean accumulator?

[@stevegarnett3722]

How many poofs are you getting out of the main tank?

[@NyomiSmith]

Super cool!!❤❤

This should have way more views. Nice work man, trying to make my own poofer right now. Can you get a decent poof using the little coleman tanks? Do they last very long maybe If I used a glow plug instead of a pilot light?

[@PitsToPeaks]

The size of the poof is determined by the size of the accumulation tank and diameter of pipe off the top. The Colman tanks would work briefly. They have a small volume, so you would run out of gas quickly with a large poof. You also want a larger feed tank than the accumulator. Small tanks are more prone to freezing. When you drop the pressure in a propane tank to quickly the temperature in the tank drops and the liquid propane freezes. A glow plug uses a lot of energy making them impractical.

Probably will not last long. The 20lb bbq tanks freeze up after about 20 poofs. There is not enough liquid to keep from freezing.

What fitting did you use for the oxy acetylene regulator to the propane tank can you send me a link or can you make a parts list and send to me I have to make this for my haunted house I bought these EBay flame throwers that have dmx control and spark ignitors but they take cans of starting fluid I want to see if I can make this same set up and convert it to propane let me know what your thoughts are thanks

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

I went to a welding store to buy the propane regulator, hose and adaptors.

[@stevenrutledge]

How much would this cost to duplicate?

[@MakerMaxCorbett]

It was about $200 in parts. The regulator is the most at around $100.
