fill the little bowl with meths
light
allow to heat the coils and create pressure / vapourisation this will draw the stuff out of the reservoir below
at EXACTLY the right moment NOT A MOMENT BEFORE NOT A MOMENT AFTER start pumping, too soon and you drown the whole kaboodle with meths from the reservoir and you get fireball, too late and something equally as catastophic happens and you get a fireball
you need to make sure everything is completely air tight / sealed or you won't get the pressure in the reservoir, the pump the filler cap
memories from 35 years ago, but still remember the smell of singed eyebrows
