    Hi

    Does anyone know the diameter of the jet (hole) on Petromax's rapid heaters? Tried searching here, but couldn't find it.

    Ah, I thought they were smaller. So the cleaning needle (in the vaporizer) of a 250cp lamp should be able to prick the rapid torch jet if I take it out and use it manually?

    Edit: Nevermind, I just tried and it worked ;)
