    Your propane cylinder contains liquid propane. If the tank gets
    inverted at the correct angle the liquid covers the outlet in the
    torch head, extinguishing the flame. This is much more pronounced with
    a full or nearly full tank. 

    I haven't tried one but there are little hosey thingies you can get
    to fit your tank, so that your tank remains upright and your flame
    stable. 

    If you plan on getting more involved with jewelry I'd suggest you
    consider buying an oxy/propane setup with disposable bottles. You
    get a nice compromise...relative safety of small bottles and an
    excellent torch head with a wide choice of tips for small or large
    work. Not the cheapest route but its not crazy either.
