Questions & Answers
Butane canisters should be used exclusively. The canisters are equipped with a small "spout" that fits into the torch tank. There may be some leakage, but it is unlikely to be significant.
A screwdriver is required! br>My unit had stopped working and the black knob was spinning. The black knob, it turns out, has a set screw that can loosen, as mine did. The set screw is only visible after the unit has been disassembled. br>Unscrew the base, then the top three screws. Reassemble the black knob by tightening the set screw. It's simple and straightforward, and it does what it's supposed to do!
It's simple to operate, but there's no trigger; instead, the flame's size is controlled by a dial. It probably wouldn't be suitable for fine, detailed work, but it should suffice for other tasks.
I'm not sure how many ounces it was in, but it didn't take long to fill - It's small, so it's not a big deal. It works great.

Getting it filled with butane, on the other hand, was a real pain. I assumed there would be no problem when I bought butane cans from Target. I couldn't get the can's tip into the torch because it was too big. Because of its unusual shape, the torch's bottom is incompatible with standard butane refill cans. I eventually went to Ace Hardware and asked the clerk to replace the butane in front of me with a different brand so I wouldn't waste any more money. It had the desired effect. I'm going to list the brand I purchased so you can see what works. Bottom line: fill this thing up with butane before you need it; don't be like me, scrambling around town trying to figure out how to fill the torch when you really need it. I gave the torch four stars because it works perfectly well – it's the refilling that's so difficult, and I'm not sure if it's the torch's fault or the incompatible can.
Put an end to your search. It was the catalyst for today's dab, so there's that. The following day, it was delivered. It's a beast; I bought it to replace this one, which I bought over a year ago and had been heavily used before breaking.
It was difficult to determine which types of gas refill bottles would be compatible. Everything is fine and working now that I've figured out which ones are "short nozzle" and where I can get the "long nozzle" refill. Finally, in the tobacco section of Walmart, I found the right type of canister (Ronco).
My tiny torch is fantastic! I'm a resin artist, and I'd like to start small because I'm afraid of flames. It was simple to fill with butane, and the lock button makes it appear to be very secure when in use. The flame is just bright enough to graze my artwork and pop bubbles without completely torching it and posing a danger. I strongly suggest it.
It accomplishes precisely what it promises. For the price, this is a fantastic option.
This was an excellent choice. A reputable firm that stands behinds its goods. I just got a faulty one the first time, which happens from time to time, but they quickly rectified the situation. br>br>Do not purchase this piece of garbage. I filled it with Butane and waited the recommended 10 minutes, but it was difficult to light, and when it did, it tried to set me on fire. As soon as you point the flame down, as if melting sugar on Creme Brule, the flame spreads up the torch and into your hand, which is very scary! It's not even a true torch flame; rather, it's a large lighter flame. Unlike some of the other torches I've used, which have a turbo jet-like flame.
This is the second one I've had since July, and it's finally given up the ghost. This is a complete waste of money; please save your time and aggravation by looking elsewhere.
A suitable flame is produced by the high intensity. It's probably good for torching steak (I haven't tried it), but the medium intensity is sufficient for creme brulee. I've discovered that keeping the fire at a low setting tends to extinguish the flame. I've tried it a few times while torching sugar, but the flame always goes out after a minute. The medium fire worked well, though it did burn some of the sugar as I worked on the edges. br>br>Locking the flame was a little tricky, but I blame it on the low flame frequently going out. As a result, I couldn't tell if the flame was on or not. If you kept it on medium, you were able to solve the problem. If you can see the flame and it isn't going out, proceed with caution because propane is leaking into the atmosphere. br>br>Refilling was also a problem. I believe it is simple enough if you know what you're doing, but it was my first time, and some propane leaked out of the torch when it was fully charged. At the very least, they went away? In any case, I placed it on a paper towel. br>br>If you only want to make the occasional dessert or torch a few things, I recommend this for the price.
