The only time I've had trouble with a small flame is when I'm using a hush tip on the premix part of my Midrange. What I did to help me 'behave' is to set up a small mirror at the far end of my bench so I could see my torch face. (I actually started doing this to spot early carbon build-up, but now that I've switched to NG that's not a problem anymore.) With a mirror you can see if your torch face is heating up. If none of the metal is glowing (even dull red) you're good to go. It takes a LOT of unbalanced heat to make most torch faces glow. My hush tip is brass so it's a lot quicker/easier. I fried my very first tip this way, but replaced it and paid attention thereafter. Just upgraded the hush tip and, after some "getting to know you" time I'm fine again. Mirrors are a VERY good thing!
