Materials: Long nosed lighter, like the ones used to light a grill
cheap pen to be taken apart
3"x1.5" body lotion bottle
Electrical tape
2 thumb tacks
duct tape
Soda bottle with cap
First, take the lotion bottle, and cut off the larger end, the side that doesn’t have the part you pour it out of. Then clean out the whole thing, make sure it is clean. Take the flip top lid off.
Then take the soda bottle and cut about .5"-1" (depending on lotion bottle size) above the cap ring. Then lower the size accordingly so it fits snug into the lotion container where you cut the back off. Tape it on good and make sure you can easily get the cap on and off freely. You can hot glue around the ring in order to make sure it stays.
Take the long nosed lighter(preferably a 5cripto) apart. MAKE SURE YOU DONT CUT ANY WIRES!!! Those are the things you truly need. You should find a rectangular box at the back of the trigger assembly, with 2 wires running into the ’barrel’ of the lighter. Take this piece out; attach each wire to a thumbtack. Poke the tacks into the lotion bottle about 1/4" apart. When you click the button, you should see a spark fly between the two tacks. This means you did it right. if not, then try repositioning the tacks, or make sure the wires are firm on the tacks. Now tape the lighter to the bottle so it is easy to click.
Now, take apart the pen. You should have a long straw like tube. Wrap it with electrical tape at one end and fit it snug into the pouring side of the lotion bottle. You can also use the barrel of the lighter if you didn’t destroy it. Either way tape it up real real good. Now you have a tater gun!
As far as fuels, I find that RIGHT GUARD deodorant spray works the best. Hairspray is alright, but it has its downside.
