Hi,
I believe the answer is in post #29 on page 1.
It seems that the answer is no.
Excerpt: "I had a chance to talk to Cindy Jenkins at the ISGB Gathering, where I asked her about the design of the Hot Head torch. She told me of how she went to the company that was already making a generic torch (as Dale pointed out above), and worked with them to modify the ports and jets. Her modifications were needed to get the proper flame chemistry needed to cleanly melt glass."
P.S. This assumes that the torch manufacturer did not incorporate the changes into their original design. The fact that they sell two versions is not definitive evidence either that they are not the same torch or that they are the same torch sold at two different price points.
