hey bibgbob
it`s depends
sometimes if you dont "de-electrify" it it will ignite as soon as something touch the ignition spot. I`ve experienced this myself and its god damned scary
there are other ways to do this, and it might not be important unless the propellant is wet and touch the ignition spot but for safety reasons i recommend to de-electrify it unless you want to toast your hands
This won`t be much of a problem with a propane mettered as long as you remember to be carefoul were you are pointing the barrel!

I always had the idea of using one of these but thought the circuites wouldn't last to long.I think I found the ignition source for my hybrid.
How long have you been using it for?I would like to know the life expectance of one of these with the increased volatge.
the flyswatter itself was used a couple months before i started modding it into a igniter. It`s been used almost daily a couple weeks and still works perfect
In the beginning there is a lot of modifications that need to be done to get the "perfect spark". The closer the "ignition-thingy" is the smaller and faster spark, The longer apart the bigger and slower. But once you`ve got what you want its an ideal igniter for spudders that want a cheap and good solution
Just remember to be carefoul with the little chip while modding it
Btw: I tried 18V but it only made one single spark and made a RRRR sound everytime i tried it... so 9V is the most im ever going to use on theese ones. Of course, this may differ from swatter to swatter.
