a lot of the time it wont fire because it doesnt vent properly and u dont have enough oxygen in the chamber. you can install a fan in yours like i did or hold it up to a fan to blow out the vapors. also try spraying in the propellent for a seccond then putting in the potato it pushes the air in the ...

With this canon you can fire one potato at a time or you can fire both at the same time or you can fire one useing all the pressure from both tanks. dependingon wich valves you open or keep clos...

i sudjest you use a selenoid valve because it is cheaper and easier to use than a ball valve plus it shoots farther. it looks hard to install but its actually really easy
