hallo.this thread is dead,but can anyone help me to choose any good firestarter? as edc.into the forest….hanks
I carry one of them torches that was mentioned here. Or u can use the tradional flint
I know it is not firestarter but just to give an info what I bought:
THis:
and I am not that impressed, I have to disassemble it occasionally for cleaning, otherwise doesn’t work…
Anyone use isobutane propane mix? Most mixes are usually around 80/20. Filling adapter
One reason to use an iso/pro mix is that butane doesn’t work below freezing. Its boiling point is 0°C; 32°F.
+1
This is the only lighter I’ve ever seen stand up to more than a year of normal use other than an old-school Zippo.
I bought two of these: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fashionable-Creative-Jet-Flame-Cigar-Lighter-with-Practical-Function-Black/32226964956.html $2.29
They work decently, apart from the nonfunctional lock. One didn’t ignite since the sparking wire (?) was a bit too short but that was easily fixed by taking the lighter apart and removing some of the plastic coating from the wire, resulting in a bigger spark.
I make my own winter blends of 70% n-butane and 30% propane for my mini torch lighters which will work up to –25C. i-butane works up to –12C and is as expensive as n-butane lighter refill canisters.
I’m a cigar smoker and I go through lighters like changing underwear and the best no nonsense torch lighters I use are these ones mini torch lighters that is based on the ultra expensive Blazer PB-207.
The Tin Pioneer aka DX Lighter, Blue Flame mini-torch for less than $2.00usd vs the genuine Japanese made Pocket Blazer at more than $110.00usd !
Hallo.Any budget jet firestarters fan here? Many links are dead,any idea for good jet firestarter?Never bought it before…
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.
Portasol butane soldering iron with the catalytic burner/ soldering tip removed. Hands down the best feeling pencil torch, with a catalytic attachment also a great hot air source (though I wouldn’t reflow SMT with it, it’s more of a heatshrink-shrinking tool). I’ve had many portable butane powered soldering irons before I switched to the TS-100 with a big 4S Li-po pack from my old drone for field soldering and nothing comes closer to the Portasol SuperPro in terms of build quality and ergonomics.
