 pain in the a** February 14, 2008

clogs way to easily. every 2 or 3 times of use you need to remove the tip and back flush with butane. I did use cheap butane though. I would try using a triple refined brand of butane and see if that helps.

I bought this item for general use and to light off pyrotechnics Let me just say this , this thing is awesome it has an adjustable Biright Blue flame (probably > 1600F) the only downside is that it dosent come with any fuel and that you have to use a lighter to ignite it
Butane Pencil torch or blow torch? January 12, 2008
When I first got the pencil torch it worked. Then the tip got clogged up. That was easy to fix. However, after I put the tip back on, it didn't act much like a butane torch. Instead, it acted a lot more like a blow torch. I can't get it to work right anymore.

I purchased this pencil torch for quick and portable soldering (wires/electrical). Needless to say, it works like a charm. It heats up parts almost instantly and solders beautifully. There are only a few problems. First, when you're soldering, you have to be careful not have any particles (for example bits of solder) fly into the orifice and clog it. There is a quick and easy solution, you just unscrew the orifice and spray a blast of butane through the orifice in reverse and it'll blow the clog out.
Problem number 2 was that the valve can get leaky if you press sideways on it a lot (which can happen when you're holding it like a pencil). This results in a leak forming when you push (or hold it like that) and then the leak will ignite and a plume of flame will flash across your hand. It's not too dangerous and doesn't last long enough to burn more than the tips of hairs, but still not a good thing.
In all, this is a very cheap, very easy torch. I like mine a lot, and I would suggest buying 2 (one for backup).
Also, this does not have an igniter, you need a lighter or match to ignite the jet. Try to ignite the butane at the base of the jet.
