How To Blow Butane Fireballs-

[grandmassa]

Let's face it, fuel air explosions are damn cool.

[hyperbole] In fact, the only thing more manly and awesome than a fuel air explosion is one that you blow out of your mouth like a fucking dragon. [/hyperbole]

One great thing about blowing fireballs is that everybody wants your jock after seeing you blow such power out of that big hole in your face.

Unfortunately though, you can burn your jock, your face, the house, the girl you're trying to impress etc. if you're not careful or not good at it.

My solution is to use a volatile liquid as the fuel.

Because the volatile liquid evaporates so fast, it will turn in to a faster burning gas with more surface area than any alcohol you can spit. Also it will evaporate before it has the chance to fall on your carpet/curtains/friends/face/crotch/house/etc. This makes it very hard to light things on fire by accident or burn your face, among other things.

Butane is also very cheap. At any flea market you can get a 10oz can of the stuff for only $2-3. That'll last you forever if you're not refilling some sick torches with it.

Let's cut the foreplay though and get to the procedure, I'll answer questions later-

1- Buy a can of butane but watch out for the little plastic bottles as they contain a cautionary odor that smells and tastes absolutely rank.

2- Insert the nozzle between your back teeth and bite down to hold it in place.

3- Push the can towards your teeth, releasing butane in your mouth don't breathe it in and don't get too much liquid.

4- Light your lighter and puff all the butane out of your mouth at the lighter (it's pretty hard to mess this part up, just try to make a "PPuhhh!" sound).

5- Spread your wings and fly because you're officially a dragon.

Here's a video I made last week for an example-

Butane will cause blowback faster than anything else, and the flames are super fucking small.

You want firebreathing? Learn the right way.

If you can't get em at least that big, then you are just a wanna be fucking poser. Your thread sucks, and so do your fireballs. You fail hard.

BTW, that is ME in those firebreathing pics.

I'm not teaching people how to blow fireballs with an alcohol.

Stupid noob, those pictures were awesome, good work.

Yes you can blow bigger fireballs with alcohol. You can also do it wrong and fuck yourself up.

My thread is about butane fireballs, not the best and biggest fireballs ever. If you want humongous fireballs that are harder and more dangerous to blow, use alcohol. If you want a cheap thrill that you can do indoors safely and damn easily, try these out.

I'm simply posting another method of doing things, no need to be a dick about it.

And as far as me being a "wannabe fucking poser," you're absolutely right. All my life all I've ever wanted to do is breathe fire. Unfortunately, in the video I have to settle because I'm not really blowing fireballs, they're actually magical yellow fairy balls that make you feel all giddy and fluffy inside.

[stupid noob]

No, wrong again. NOT fucking alcohol. IDIOTS use alcohol. Not only is it dangerous, but no way in hell could ANYONE get fire this big with it.

AND butane is more dangerous than ANY fuel except for shit like nitromethane lol. Anyway, the flame front can suck right back along the fuel trail, into your mouth, and possibly down your throat, resulting in the worst pain you've ever felt. When that shit happens, they have to put the person in an induced coma because of the extreme pain.

And yeah, you WERE trying to teach people how to blow fire. It's like Christopher Reeve trying to teach someone how to ride a horse.

Mods? Could you delete this shit? I would really rather not have some dumbass kid come along and see this and get hurt. This douche is giving false information that may result in injury or death, and it is just not acceptable.

If you want to talk about legitimate firebreathing with proper safety precautions and proper fuels, then fine, but this garbage you are spewing here is just infuckingtolerable.

And yeah, I will be a dick, because you are making my job seem so much easier than it really is, and you are encouraging others to try it willy nilly and get hurt. Use some fucking common sense.

Stupid noob, I'm sorry I mistaked your fuel for alcohol, but yours is a liquid fuel and the dangers of burning other shit still apply for non experienced fire-breathers using liquid fuels.

Based on this method, if you followed my instructions-
Worst case scenario, the flame front comes right back to your mouth. You've already expelled all of the butane with the initial puff because the volume of gas you can fit in your mouth is so small. There's nothing left to combust.

There should be absolutely no reason for you to burn your throat, unless you breathe the butane in like a numbnuts and filled your lungs with it and I said not to do that.

Injury or DEATH? That's just ridiculous. I've been doing this for years and the worst I've got from it is singed hair on my hand where I hold the lighter.

I'm sorry, but liquid fuel is far more dangerous than this as far as burning other things/your face. That's why liquid fuel is for very responsible, experienced people and this method is for most everybody with a positive IQ.

[stupid noob]

You are wrong. I have been firebreathing for a very long time. I've been doing it for events and shows for about 4 years now. I started over 13 years ago, using butane and alcohol and anything else I could get my hands on, like a dumbass. Only later did I learn the dangers in what I was doing, and which fuels to use. Butane is NOT one of them. There are a number of things that can go wrong with this type of thing, and all those risks are magnified the lower the vapor point of the fuel, with butane having one of the lowest.

Stick with higher vapor point fuels such as paraffin oil, and you will NEVER have to worry about an accident. Of course, they won't be as big as mine, I special mix all my fuels to a certain standard.

[Flamethrowa]

HOLY FUCK! You would spray liquid butane in your mouth???

I would spray that on a nasty wart I wanted freeze dried!

Not only does it defat and leech a shitload of moisture, you can probably reach temperatures of close to -50-60 C with liquid butane!

AHHHH!

SN, forgetting when you got me to put my torch in my mouth and try breathing the butane onto a flame? I lost my nose hairs on webcam to you. =p

LOL yeah, I did forget about that. I DID warn you though. And you seemed so eager to try it..........

Besides, you had a trained pro supervising you lol. If there was an accident, I would know exactly how to handle it. Turn on screen capture!

EDIT and good point about defatting, I always forget about that part when it comes to solvents and stuff. And the temp thing isn't so bad. As long as you angle the can right, it won't freeze you out, still not safe to do though.

Besides, it's a waste of butane. You could be making BHO with that.

[tordek battlehammer]

I think Il pass on that, If butane tastes as bad as it smells I don't want to spray that shit in my mouth. Plus freezing your tongue might hurt a little bit too much.

If I wanted to learn firebreathing I would ask someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
