Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

Can anyone recommend a nice big butane torch that can be attached to the table top or can be hand held?

Thanks,
Ed

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

Vector is really nice as is the Alec Bradley. I have both but my favorite for the large RG stogies is my Solder-It micro torch!:2 (The Alec Bradley is a wonderful tabletop piece but not truly a torch)

I have the vector tri-pump table lighters (http://www.taboocigars.com/product.s...&categoryId=21) and it works great. My wife gave it to me for an annivesary present a few years ago.

There's a number of "cooking torches" -- primairly for finishing creme' brule, but it's amazing how well they work lighting cigars ;)

For example -- http://www.kitchenclique.com/10100.html

Where were all these great fancy torches that are available today, back in the days when I was smoking coke? I would've loved something like that...:rolleyes:

$10 at harbor freight.

You can find them for less than that on fleabay if you look around and are patient.

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

:tpd: I just noticed that last night too, my buddy just got one and has left it in my smoking room because he has nowhere to really use it at his house. I have been using it for the past few days and I really like it

Rocky Patel has a 5 flame torch about 1.5 inches around and 7 inches tall. Very nice and portable as well. Sorry no picture if I find one I'll send it.

This thing is heavy in my hand and holds a TON of butane. Its been very reliable as well. If you use the free shipping link, it's a pretty good deal too at $30.00. I've always wanted to try one of those mini spot welders pictured in other threads, but haven't had the need with this one. Just my :2

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

Love my Vector.

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

This is what I have. The flame/butane control is pretty touchy, but it works fine.

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

I just picked up one of these from CI. Awesome! Maybe now I won't have to refill my lighter every 4 or 5 cigars and take less than 2 minutes to toast the foot!

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

What type of butane are you guys using for the Perdomo Thundra lighter? Does it have to be triple refined?

YES! Lava or Vector are very good brands.:tu

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

I don't have that particular lighter, but I'll make a generalized comment regarding butane: don't skimp. The few pennies you might save aren't worth it, assuming that you'll even save anything. Sure, some lighters will burn anything, but if one craps out using crummy gas, then you don't know if it was the lighter or the fuel.

The better butanes don't necessarily cost more either. For example; Vector Signature which is 5x refined, costs $6 to $8 for a 10oz can at Williams-Sonoma cooking stores and Cigars International, and probably about the same elsewhere too. Guess what? a 2.75 oz can of crappy Ronson gas costs $3 at wal-mart. In the long run, you'll end up paying more by buying the chit Ronson gas.

Furthermore, butane is almost a negligible cost once you average out how long a can will last you.

Admittedly, I don't have any lighters that drink butane like the Thundra but, I'm still using the same can of Vector that I bought about 3 years ago - and it probably has about 3 oz of gas remaining. I guess I could weigh it and weigh the second can that I bought that I haven't even unwrapped yet to determine exactly...

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

Would there be any reason not to mix brands? Suppose I have a bit of Xicar left, and a full can of Colibri. Can I use them both to fill the same lighter?

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

I've found the Colibri fuel burns the cleanest in any lighter I've ever put it in...even the Vecter 5X has clogged up a lighter or two for me on occasion...

Here's a fairly inexpensive table top torch lighter on ebay...

Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't mix the butanes.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.




(nah, not really, you can mix them it won't hurt anything)

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

Be interesting to see if their gas supplier and/or gas quality stays the same after they finish the post-bankruptcy restructure.

Re: Table Top/Big Butane Torch
 

+2! These are my choice as well. I have a Roburn from Williams Sonoma in the kitchen, but for cigars the Harbor Freight torches are my choice.

I've got a couple extras of the HF version if anyone is interested just PM.

Cheers,
