Demo - Butane Torch Troubleshooting

Butane torches are an inexpensive way to perform many small to medium tasks from firing metal clay to small soldering operations. Learn which fuel is right to keep your torch in top working condition, how to properly fill and operate all of the torch models offered at www.cooltools.us and more.
Metal clay firing torches (all of our large flame torches) are perfect for torch firing fine silver and copper clay pieces up to 25 grams. Smaller torches, like the Spitfire, Stingray and Hot Shot models are perfect for small soldering tasks. Use these torches to ball wire, make head pins, solder jump rings closed, and more.
Please note that while we highly recommend Blazer Triple Refine Butane, which is designed for butane torches, we do not offer this product on our website. Butane is a highly flammable material and carries a hazardous surcharge for shipping. Source your butane locally, but be sure to demand triple refined for best performance and longest torch life.

Thank you, I was about to torch my torch, now I will try again.

[@agnescleary2312]

Great demo! Much better than the instructions that come with the torch! I received my new Spitfire this afternoon and tried over and over to get it to ignite. I was ready to return it to Amazon, then decided to do a little googling and found this video. Thanks!

[@LunaCorbden]

Thank you. This was way more informative than the other "How to fill a butane torch" videos I watched, which had me in tears. I think the nipple size is wrong, so now I have someplace to start.

[@troc97]

I just found one you may want to add! I have the newport 6 inch torch its only a month old and i could hear the gas comming out and see a spark but still no light! As im looking down the head i realized the little filiment tht creates the spark seemed up against the side like something hit it! I slightly bent it back to the middle n she seems just fine! It was driving me nuts troubleshooting this thing!! Lol

[@MSchindel]

Extremely helpful information and demonstration. Thanks very much!

[@RebornLegacy]

So helpful. I got some zippo fuel and was wondering why refueling it was so difficult.

[@etfonetone85]

Good video

[@dlaroc]

Just had mine act up. The flame was not torching and just coming out like if i held the button back, but i wasnt. I think it was doing it because the torch got too cold. I left it by my Ac unit. I just kept lighting it and eventually the torch kicked back in.

[@belsteed6050]

thx for info appreciate

[@wandabarcomb9540]

There's a window on my torch but I still can't tell if it's full. Help?

[@shotikogeladze764]

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Shotiko, can you explain what you mean by polo so that we can help answer your question?

[@angelaerickson18]

thank you!! i was about to give up on my torch.

[@elisejensart6083]

Thank you for the info.. I have a Blazer Stingray that I've had for about 7 months and its getting extremely hot to hold and I can hear a small leak coming from the insert on the bottom. Is this fixable or is it time to get a new torch?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

+Elise Jens ART Hello... For safety sake we recommend replacing your torch. The potential for a disaster is too great. They are relatively inexpensive to replace. Have a great day and thanks for your question!

quickly becoming one of my favorite channels!

[@kimstyles4006]

Aaahhhhh! Thanks for the info muchas gracias

[@stevenw799]

I have a blazer big shot gt800 and the flame is very small and week when i light it then goes out shortly after. I had the cheep " premium" butane in it when this issue started. Could switching to the Blazer triple refined butane fix my problem or do i need to unclog if first?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hello, we suggest unclogging the torch first then trying triple refined butane. Hope this helps!

[@stevenw799]

CoolToolsVideos How would i unclog it?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hello, this article should be able to help you: www.butanetorchshop.com/how-to-fix-your-butane-torch/

[@Oliveroblong]

Awesome. Thank you :-)

[@glitz420]

I kinda knew all this already, gave it a like tho cad it helped me realize what was wrong (((;

[@zacharybartz397]

Can you refill an empty butane canister with another butane canister?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Zachary, you cannot use another canister to refill a canister. You will have to purchase a new full canister. Thanks for the question!

[@janefirebaugh9197]

Does the Blazer Big Shot have an air adjustment?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi Jane, the Blazer Big Shot does not have an air adjustment. The dial on the torch adjusts the gas/flame size only. Thank you for the question!

[@rantallion5032]

oxegen mixer you say. nice.

[@arjonia9562]

great...

[@ItzBigidy]

Mine says 5x refined!? is that too much

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hello, we suggest triple refined. Thanks for the question!

[@fromtheh3158]

CoolToolsVideos but is it too much?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hello, it would depend on what you are using the torch for.

[@fromtheh3158]

CoolToolsVideos Dabbing bro, the torch is lit for 30seconds to a minute at a time sometimes multiples times. I see other people hesitant to ask about it so im gonna.

[@testsubject9974]

Is this strong enough to cut thin metal?

[@cooltoolsvideos]

Hi, depending on the gauge of the metal this is possible. We would recommend using an oxyacetylene torch. Hope this helps!

[@testsubject9974]

CoolToolsVideos oh, thank you..

[@Littlefa3]

My fuel just says "extra refined"

[@kaedasonata4432]

I was told at the store I bought my torch from that "Universal Butane" was the right stuff... Now I see why refilling mine didn't work. And I don't think it would now be a good idea to put the triple refined stuff in on top of the other kind. What a waste of pretty new toy. :(

[@55RickyRicardo55]

You should try emptying the torch so you don't mix the gases.

[@fromtheh3158]

SilentBob420BMFJ I would let the gas out all the way and try refilling it.
