    I have this with mine, too. I thought maybe there is a flaw in my
    regulator, but, oddly, I've never tried to do anything about it.
    I've just gotten used to it. But it's a PITA. Didn't experience it
    at the Revere Academy with their Mecos, so it isn't inevitable. 

    By the way, I recently finished my article on choosing a torch for
    Art Jewelry-- before all this discussion, unfortunately. But on the
    whole, it has all reinforced what I wrote in the piece. The point I
    made in the article that has been most clearly underlined, though,
    is that pretty much whatever torch you choose will work out fine,
    once you get comfortable with it. 

    BTW, the article will not appear for a few months-- but you all
    pretty much know everything that's in it anyway.
