    I started out doing jewelry using all the cheapo torches. Plumbers
    torches which this pretty much is I believe, The delux bic lighters
    that call themselves torches etc. The day I finally forked out the
    hundred bucks for a Smith Acetelyne torch changed my life. If you are
    halfway serious about making jewelry get rid of that thing and get a
    torch that will work. It's not really that much of an investment and
    I guarantee in the first month you will pay for it in time and
    frustration saved. One more note you don't really need a duel
    regulator oxy/ acet. or oxy/ propane just a simple 1 regulator that
    uses acetelyne and air. They are easy to use fairly cheap and will
    last for a long time. Mine is 15 years old and just getting in need
    of replacement.
