You should cover your connections to protect them, and to keep them from coming loose or getting caught on anything. Great looking gun :D

I know this is a month old but I do not understand something. Why did he go through the trouble of creating multiple sparks and not wire up a stun gun? Peizo's work but it doesen't even touch the amount of spark that a stun gun produces. And it seems manditory since he installed a chamber fan. Someone already mentioned merered propane.

cause he doesn't want to buy a stun gun, but he should at least use a bq ignitor, lighter sparkers suck

What's 5 to 10 more dollars. Some BBQ ignitors cost almost $10. Ebay has them for about $15, check it out.

I once read that triple igition gives roughly a 41% increase in power, and if your using 1 spark gap if you place it in the center it gives much more power.
Cant remeber where i read it though.

I would be realy cautious on adding more power modds onto a abs gun ive noticed they arent pressure rated
anyone agree? because safety is an issue here.

Good Luck & Happy Shooting

ABS in a combustion is 100% fine, it doesn't generate the required pressure spike to tear it.
