    Uli, I sure hope that is NOT a gas lighter!  Probably turned on too
    high.  I suppose you have the one stage regulators that connect
    directly to the portable bottles. Put in a #4 or #5 tip (#3 and
    smaller are not for propane).  For starters, use a candle (e.g.
    small votive).  Leave the oxygen off and turn on the propane (red
    knob) just slightly (e.g. 1/8th turn). Pass the tip by the top of
    candle flame.  When it lights, increase flame to about 1".   Turn on
    the oxygen slightly.  First "air" will come out until oxy fills the
    line. Adjust small blue flame for your project.  ALWAYS turn off
    oxygen(green) first then the gas.  The "Torch-Mates" are great! Regis
