Hi Steve,

    I have used one of these for the last 25 years, I think they are
    grea, very controllable. It does depend what make you have,the
    Adaptogas/Microflame ones need a low pressure regulator, about12"-14"
    WG (water gauge), you can rn them off propane or butane, propane is a
    bit hotter. 

    You will have to learn cyclical breathing, it sounds a bit odd but
    all it means is that you breathe in through your nose whilst blowing
    with puffed cheeks. its a bit like learning to ride a bike, once you
    can do it you cant se why you ever couldn't. It works because you are
    blowing through a small hole and dont blow out much air while you
    breathe in. 

    I will look up a few details if you like if you let mekow a bit more
    about the torch. 

Tim Blades.
