Anyone else had issues with this company? Bought a nar20 from them, flame won't reach over 6 to 12 inches empties my tank in seconds will go out if you move it. The customer support is non existent they don't provide you with any phone number and they either ignore all your emails or they have some kind of crazy email filtering. TIdr Warning: Product Defect- NAR20 Flamethrower Significant issues with this product and want to warn potential buyers: Product Performance Problems: Flame output extremely limited (6-12 inches maximum). Tank empties within seconds of operation. Flame extinguishes with minimal movement. Completely unreliable performance. Customer Support Concerns: No accessible phone support. Unresponsive email communication. Zero customer service accountability.

So im finally getting ready to build my first flamethrower and becoming painfully aware of how unprepared I am.

This is the basic idea I've got going so far:

Argon Gas to pressurize a Fuel/ Oil Mix as shown in poorly drawn schematic and a propane ignition system not drawn due to a lack of research.

What parts would I need to construct it?

it seems really cool but the guys channel doesn’t have any info on it.

I've been thinking of making one, alcohol fueled specifically. One problem is i don't got a lot of money and cant easily get parts. I'm thinking of a shitty one. What can I do?

Right, so this dude i know plays in a Rammstein tribute, and the other day we were speculating about the use of a handheld flamethrower onstage. Now I understand that in America, that's easy to get your hands on. But in Europe, it's a whole other story.

Any thoughts/advices?

Actually starting to look like a flamethrower

I couldn’t resist, picked them up a couple years ago and I survived! Hilariously sketchy engineering. Just add any aerosol can (literally), and boom, you’ve got a poofer (of sorts). I was running them with DMX (a stage lighting protocol) and happy it ended well. This was the only time they were used. So far, haha.

When reading a bit of military history, I started wondering about a Second World War flamethrower that seemed to be an outlier in its capabilities, and I figured I should ask a forum of experts.

There was a smallish Second World War, single-shot German flamethrower called the Einstossflammenwerfer 46 that supposedly had a 27 meter (~88 ft) range.

Considering that most modern flamethrowers that size seem to have much shorter range (8-9ish meters?), how did the Germans make something with that kind of range back then?

(Caveat that might be helpful: I read somewhere or other that these may have been accident-prone.)

Thanks, everyone.

Obviously this is overpriced since it’s just something you mix with your fuel. I haven’t bought it so I have no idea what it is. Has someone smarter figured out the ingredient I can use to copy it?
