Torch vs. Soft Flame

shopkins82 · 07-06-2012, 06:52 AM

I gravitate towards a torch for anything over 50 ring gauge, and soft flame for anything under. For awhile I've been wanting to pick up a lighter that has both (Evertorch on the higher-priced size, Jobon Dual-Torch on the cheaper side) but haven't got around to it yet. The main reason for desiring the dual is that, even with larger ring gauges, I like to toast then draw in the flame directly... toasting with the torch then drawing in the soft flame seems like the ideal light to me.

That's odd, I am actually the exact opposite. I find it a waste of butane to properly light anything over 50ish ring, when a single match can get the job done and usually better. But I suppose I prefer to match light anything anyway.
