Heather,

    This kind of device is really not applicable to torch soldering. Its
    filter is made from plastic foam with carbon in it and is not really
    safe to have it in close proximity to the torch flame as it is very
    flammable. Imagine a burning filter with the fan pulling air through
    at a high velocity, it would be a large blow torch! This type of
    filter is meant for the fumes generated by lead soldering of
    electronics parts with an electrical soldering iron and is not all
    that effective  for that application either. For our purpose it is
    really best to vent the fumes outside with the appropriate type of
    exhaust fan system.
