The Springmann vaporizer |

Wenn you know english made pressure lanterns like Tilley and
Bi-Aladdin, you will know that they carbonize easy and can't be cleaned or repaired. Willi Springmann has solved the "problem" by making or better re-building
his own vaporizer. This "Springmann" vaporizer can be cleaned easy, just
dismantle it, and uses a 250 cp Petromax orifice. The pictures show how to make a vaporizer on a lathe. Re-building on your own risk ! |
