Thanks for presenting a well thought video. I first used one of these more than sixty years ago, long before bottled gas was available. One of the most important factors, to enable a kerosene blow lamp to function well, is to be scrupulously clean when refuelling. Use a funnel with a very fine gauze strainer. If any dust particles get into the tank, they will inevitably get into the fuel pipe which leads to to very fine nozzle through which the vaporised fuel passes into the combustion chamber. Dust in the fuel is the most likely cause for the blow lamp to function poorly. I do not think you gave the blow lamp a fair chance in the comparison test, when compared to the bottled gas torch burner. You placed the spanner in the "cooler" part of the kerosene flame. The highest temperature (hottest part of the flame) is nearer to the tip of the flame. If you repeat the test, I think you will find that it is likely that the kerosene blow lamp will heat the spanner to red-heat at least as quickly as the gas torch burner.

I love these old torches. I collect them and use them myself. I mostly have Gasoline (Petrol) torches although I do have two that use Kerosene (Parafin). There are some areas these torches excel though. Larger flames, so they heat a greater area better than Propane. In very cold climates (far below 0 degrees) a propane torch will not light, as it's too cold for the Propane to vaporize, it just remains a liquid in the tank. Gas and Kero torches, will light, and you can actually buy new ones. Just get the better made Russian ones and leave the cheap China ones to braver men. Or, refurbish a mostly century old one, that will still work as good as new. Can't say that about much made these days...

When I was a child, my dad was fully on board with propane for various tools. Lanterns, grills, blow torches and camp stoves. They certainly perform their purpose, but as part of that upbringing I was somewhat led to believe that propane was always better. I have since learned that's not necessarily true. I was somewhat recently gifted a Coleman white gas lantern and camp stove from my uncle who decided he'd never use them again (and they surely had very low time on them, so thanks again for the basically used once or twice and stored away equpiment!). I've completely fallen for how well they work. I don't have electricity in my carport, so the lantern is my go-to out there. It can also run on regular gasoline, which I'm never in short supply of. By contrast, I rarely have a small propane tank on hand, heck I don't even like propane for my barbeque grill, preferring charcoal for that purpose. I don't like that aside from guessing at weight, there's no really great way to see how much fuel is left in your propane tank, where you can shine a light inside your gas appliance or just observe how your charcoal is doing. I presume there are white gas/petrol versions of these torches as well, definitely going to look into one.

Cylinder gas from a retail outlet is about £9.00 for butane and £11.50p for the higher spec Map X gas... So folks that is a real massive saving for anyone to use paraffin oil ... efficiency against cost ? you choose I enjoyed this video well done

Ive actually come across a few very handsome brass torches with hardwood handles meant for propane or MAPP gas! you just hook a hose to a bottle of either, and youve got a very lightweight and maneuverable handpiece unlike the frankly unwieldy modern torch like that one you showed, but the added feature of you can usually fix them with just a simple spanner, wire pick, and some O rings. when that bottle topper eventually dies not much left but to buy a new one. Not to mention they look absolutely gorgeous polished up and the wood handles given a bit of a buffing. Only downside is you dont get the piezo switch like that modern one, youve got to have either a striker or a lighter to start it off. seems like a fair trade to me.

So do You know if some of these did actually run on gasoline, and have You ever tried this out? Also how would I be able to identify a petrol one from the workings?
