RIP Scorchy. Something broke inside and now it won’t spark. I’m going to attempt to repair it but I suspect I’ll be replacing it.
Anyone have a recommendation for a nice twin-jet torch? I use it mostly with a Dynavap and would like something big enough to not refill every day but not too too big. Bonus points for a low-effort reliable trigger, a warranty would be nice too.
Edit: fixed it, still interested in recommendations :)
After having like 20 or so torches specifically bought from head shops and vape stores all die in less than a year, I said "fuck it" and bought a kitchen torch from a commercial kitchen supply store in the area. I've had it for 6 years now with no issues. Plus I can actually make the cool caramel crust on a creme brulee now when I'm not using it for dabs.
You could also go with an acetylene torch from a hardware store. Those are sturdy, and the propane tanks last fuckin' forever if you're just using it for smoking. Though, they aren't easily portable.
Why not a Clipper Jet Flame? They are super cheap, reusable, small and are really realiable torch lighters.
Thanks! I like them as a backup but prefer something with a larger tank as my daily driver.
Hey! What does the trigger do instead of spark? I ask because on a somewhat similar torch I had the trigger would depress with resistance but not sparked. I fixed it by greasing the moving part inside the plastic piezoelectric igniter.
The trigger would just smoosh with no click, I guess as you described. I was actually able to fix it shortly after I posted, the sliding piece on the igniter was jammed. I didn't think to lubricate it but I got it unstuck and the lighter is now working better than it did brand new 😎
