Not as good a flame thrower as it used to be, they switched the propellant to CO2.

Aaaah, that explains a lot. I was sure it wasn't as good a 'fly swat' and bbq lighter as it used to be!

Scumbags - I used to have great fun when it was Butane - what a mixture with atomised oil mixed in!!!

I used to make some great exploding bottles - a brittle plastic 2L water bottle - full strength WD40 and make sure loads of air goes in with it. Put the top on - then make a pen sized hole in the side. The blast was incredible. Gave up after a while as once I went totally deaf for about 1/2 an hour - that scared me - didn't help I was indoors at the time!!!

I always found acetylene better for a scare factor 50/50 mix with air , and the bang factor was immense, plus it was surprisingly volatile, so much so that after mixing a 250ml bottle, and stabbing a flash hole in it with an awl ,. it went off in me hands once , setting fire to me jersey Ahh those were the days .. the exuberence of youth

Yup I still have fond memories of my indoor fireworks display - how was I to know that a Roman candle actually ejected something that whizzed around the kitchen and set the curtains on fire - my poor mother wasn't too happy............
