Popular Post Habana Mike Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 Tired of lighters failing on me or having to refill too frequently, I picked this up for an early Christmas gift to myself. Professional chef's blow torch. Think Creme Brulee. Along with food grade butane. Holds almost a half a can. Results have been fantastic! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bijan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I like the fuel gauge. Don't mind refilling lighters but hate not knowing exactly when they're going to run out. This is motivating me to get a lighter with a fuel gauge... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason I went for a tabletop for home use. Bonus about those though is they'll go through a TSA checkpoint no problem. Not that I've done that any time lately..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habana Mike Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Walk right through security with one in your pocket. Almost completely plastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool, but the problem is the fuel... Can't carry butane and don't know if they'll let you through with a filled lighter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you mean the cheap colourful lighters you posted, thought you meant the creme brulee lighter. I've lost too many items the random 1/100 they checked/found them and wouldn't risk anything expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangBang Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Damn half a can of butane?? Wonder how that translates to cigars. I have 5 or so lighters cause they empty so fast, would rather have a solid one that can light a ton of cigars that I can refill like once a year lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got it today. Run very low, super soft flame. It can melt metal though if you need it to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fuzz Posted December 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2020 I would have gone for a butane torch head that attaches directly to the can. No need for refilling. But if you really don't want to worry about refills.... 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the extra $4 for the Eagle Torch. They never break and are better built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mprach024 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I’ve always sworn by these. I’ve owned many, this is the best one I’ve had so far because the flame comes to a very fine point. $20, and lasts a week before refill and never a light problem in over a year. My Colibris are in a drawer somewhere. You’ll never go back Mike! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
