Tanks are also available in cases of 3, 12, or These tanks are designed to be safer than standard O2 tanks; their smaller size means much less gas is held under pressure. They are easy to maneuver because they are very light, and the manufacturer recommends disconnecting the system when it's not in use. Miniflam's O2 empties are recyclable and refillable. No Hazmat shipping charges and no tank certification are required for them.
The GP 40 gram gas comes in canisters designed to convert liquid fuel into vapor in any orientation. It is a mixture of butane and propane that has been filtered to eliminate clogging. To use them, you can mount the gas canisters on either the standard adaptor or the Tri Oxy adaptor and clamp them to the bench upright, or lay them on their sides. The gas cans are self sealing when detached from the system to reserve fuel for transit or to store for a later date. A gram gas refill canister is also available.
This canister is interchangeable with the gram gas canister, and can be refilled from the gram fuel canister as needed. The rechargeable canister is compatible with the bench torch and the portable torches. Miniflam has two options for very portable torches roughly comparable to a typical butane or micro torch. The GP torch is regulated by two bands on the nozzle: It works with the S canister or directly connected to the gram gas canister. The newest unit, the SA, is filled from the gram gas and comes with the S canister.
It is regulated by two bands as well: It comes completely assembled in the box. All you need to do is fill the gas canister and go. The hose can be connected to any standard pressure regulator.

Then wait at least minutes to allow the gas to warm up inside the torch; it is very cold and there is the possibility of liquid butane being sent through the nozzle of your torch, which will damage it. Absolutely, the BEST torch ever! Outside of a glass blowing studio, this is the best torch I've ever used.

Though this is for personal fun and works better than any I've used. Total control over the flame, would recommend to any dabber For convenience and ease of use at my bench, I often use a small butane torch like this to solder small sterling silver and metal pieces. I've tried several brands and sizes, and they get the job done, some better than others. The biggest challenge with handheld torches is getting the entire metal surface hot enough to ensure a proper join on all the components. On larger pieces like a belt buckle this can be difficult if not impossible, and I've always turned to my big, acetylene torch for pieces larger than a pendant.
This torch, however, has changed all that.

It's a powerhouse, and most larger pieces, even those with several joins, can be uniformly heated to the proper temperature in just a few seconds. I'm very pleased with this purchase. If your handheld torch doesn't have the gumption to heat larger metal jewelry pieces, this is the torch for you. Other handheld torches seem to break or wear out after just a few months. I've been using my Blazer Big Shot daily for about seven months now without a problem.
I still use my acetylene torch for big jobs, and that won't change, but this torch does a lot, and it's easy to pack and take with you.
The reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because this torch can only be refilled with Blazer brand butane which tends to be more expensive than other brands.. The intake valve on the torch is a custom valve and the torch cannot be refilled with other butane brands. I tried two different brands which I use on my other torches and could not get this torch to fill.
I was ready to send it back thinking the torch was faulty, until I saw a youtube video about how the Blazer butane has nozzle adapters built into the cap.

This made me realize that if Blazer butane needed adapters, it was probably custom made to fit Blazer torches. Sure enough, the Blazer butane fit perfectly. I kind of irritates me that I can't make a quick trip to the hardware store if I run out of butane. It also irritates me that the product description does not mention the requirement of Blazer butane. I was considering moving my work bench up to my couch, but then I received my Blazer torch in the mail. This thing exceeded my expectations. I now can solder my jewelry from clear across the room, AND light my neigbour's BBQ, without lifting a single buttock off the couch.
On its highest setting, I can set my entire hometown ablaze without breaking a sweat.
