Iroda Micro-Jet MJ-300 Butane Gas Blow Torch

I do not recommend this item in the slightest.I understand that you need to fill the fuel cell with butane before use. However, filling up the cell is a pain (could just be user error)After getting the cell fuelled, I attempted to light it. And it took me roughly 20 clicks to get a miniscule flame (with the regulator maxed out)The button is a pain to hold, and the inability to get a flame quickly is disappointing.Buy some cheap blow torch at the front of the stores, instantly better, quick flame, and large flame.

I bought this to make creme brulee with. It's gotten the job done, but it's frustrating. The lock to keep the flame going doesn't work well (it peters out in 10-20 seconds), and so you have to hold down the trigger to keep it going. That gets pretty painful after a minute or so, because the positioning is awkward, and the button is unpleasant. Even holding it down, the flame still dies occasionally.The flame is good (small, but that's what I wanted), the butane doesn't run out too fast, and it's not too hard to light (worse than a typical cigarette lighter, but better than some BBQ lighters I've used in past). It gets the job done. But if you're using a torch more than once in a blue moon, I'd get a better one.

Great little torch, I use it mostly because my disposable butane lighters keep blowing out in the wind.It comes with a canister that is a refillable classic disposable lighter design with the wheel removed. (The older rectangular, slimmer, more boxy type)You can use those style lighters as canisters if you want to remove the wheel.As for the included canister,the first time I tried to add fuel to it, the seal started leaking from the bottom.The torch does have vent holes at the bottom, but the lighter itself was compromised so I now use a disposable canister.This is a perfect little windproof jet lighter other than the fill gasket issue.Turns a regular old lighter into a mighty blue mystic wizard's flame.Maybe consider picking up a few disposable ... MoreGreat little torch, I use it mostly because my disposable butane lighters keep blowing out in the wind.It comes with a canister that is a refillable classic disposable lighter design with the wheel removed.
