Alec Bradley burner bs. Vector triple torch

Ncpsycho · 11-03-2013, 07:01 PM

Anyone have an opinion on which is better -- I've seen the Alec Bradley for under $40 while the vector is closer to $100

Curious as well..

I have the Vector. It's a pretty powerful torch and holds a lot of fuel. Works well for larger RG cigars but not so well on smaller RG cigars. Also, not so great for touch-ups. Still, I really like it for what it is.

I have no experience with the Alec Bradley.

This decision may be easier than you think. The Vector is a torch (I have no experience with it) and the AB Burner is a soft flame (though a very hot soft flame). So I would pick based on flame preference.

What I love about the burner is that flame is serious and can be adjusted up and down while ignited/in use. I wish someone would design a pocket friendly version of this thing.

While I haven't used the vector, I have used the burner numerous times. I love the look of it and love lighting a cigar with it. However if touch ups are needed, it will prove difficult. However I haven't run into too many table top lighter that are.

I haven't used the Vector either, but the Burner is great. Nice big soft flame that stays on until you turn it off. Don't have to hold it on. Especially nice in a group setting but great solo too. Love it and only $28 at Amazon.
