I don't know why, maybe I'm doing the wrong proceedure but I tried until I ran out of gas in the low/ med setting. 1 cm) from the nozzle that falls off to safety the release of unstrewing the whole nozzle.-And the fact that it gets clogged up easily (maybe just mine idk i lost my opertunity of usage) I may have gotten an messed up pencil torch but it didnt even light for me and I used RONSON MULTI-FILL ULTRA BUTANE FUEL. when i opened up the package it was in great condition. My conclusion is to buy under your own risk.
It wasnt there for me. But the problem is that for some reason as a held another light to the tip it wouldnt stay lite for me. Then afterwards I closed the valve and injected more since I ran out, then when I started to release the gas it wouldnt come out and now its clogged. Maybe thats why the price is so low and maybe its worth to buy a larger butane lighter for $30-40 moreand you can get it from a untility store like home depot or maybe here in amazon as well.Pros: -small and compact( about 6.5 inches, I didnt specifically measure)-uses the gas effiently and not all at once (seen another PT)-easy to fill and simple design-Its cheap and you can buy several for under $30Cons:- Maybe it's a little bit to simple of a design even though its a pro, but I have mixed feelings about it for my situation.-The handle that it came with, the ink gets on your hands and smears, it wasnt the color on the picture it was a grey and white color.-theres a little piece (appx. I bought this pencil torch with the greatest expectations to get the job done.
but as I filled in some butane and waited for 5 minutes to stabilize, the gas came out perfectly. I know its not the fuel since its used for mostly every other butane lighters.
I'd suggest you try a different product. What is more, in my case the problem actually prevented the torch from being able to shut completely; I turned the screw and then had to wait for a few seconds for the gas flow to slowly die.The torch was cheap enough for me to go and buy a second one, but in the end both torches I've owned failed in a similar way within less than 5 refills. The torch is inexpensive and performs well, the problem is however that it fails far too quickly. It probably is simple clogging, but I haven't mastered the art of squirting butane through the nozzle to clear the path. I haven't used the same brand butane so it's less likely that poor fuel was a factor.In fairness, the instructions do warn of this problem and suggest a solution, but it hasn't worked for me and it's a nuisance either way.
every 2 or 3 times of use you need to remove the tip and back flush with butane. I would try using a triple refined brand of butane and see if that helps. clogs way to easily. I did use cheap butane though.
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
However, after I put the tip back on, it didn't act much like a butane torch. That was easy to fix. I can't get it to work right anymore. When I first got the pencil torch it worked. Then the tip got clogged up. Instead, it acted a lot more like a blow torch.
