What is your favourite torch for boro
 
I have been working with a Nortel minor and mega minor, but I want to start doing sculptural work with boro, any suggestions on which torch I should invest in?

I love my Bethlehem Bravo, it works great for Boro and Soda Lime, and it works better at low gas pressures.

The GTT Phantom is a good torch for Boro sculpture. I've used the Phantom for smaller stuff and the Mirage for bigger work. The triple mix gives you a great variation in flame size and power.

I agree with Robert. Although I use a Mirage I think ANY of the GTT triple mixes are great for working boro. Very versatile and they generate a lot of heat without radiating much out to the sides so the glass heats quickly but not the user.

Kabuki.... little more umph than a Mirage. Three flame rings. Lots of adjustability.

i like the national 3a...it is way cheaper and can have many different flames with the range of torch tips.
