When I was younger I thought they were the most amazing things, but I don’t need them anymore. I’d set the wrong thing on fire sooner or later if I started messing with them. I’ve learned not to open the doorway to certain experiences, you know?
They’re over-powered for pipe-smoking. Heck, they’re over-powered for starting fires unless it’s raining lol. If you want something creative and dangerous to start fires with, why not one of those 7 Watt engraving lasers? You’ll need eye protection.
Anyway, the biggest drawback to these is usually keeping it fueled. I recommend getting the single-flame versions, as the multi-flame ones burn through fuel at a crazy pace, the extra flames don’t really help anything, and the multi-flame ones tend to point the flame in multiple directions, making it a lot easier to burn yourself with when you light up your medications.
Usually vape shops and smoke shops sell them. You can probably find all kinds of reviews online. They have fancy, expensive ones these days… for the arsonist and pyromaniac who refuses to compromise on quality, I guess.
