Well, I may be in a vast minority here, but I started out with a HotHead a year ago and loved it. Then this year it went wonkly on me, started shooting flames out the air holes. I tried everyone's suggestions but nothing worked. This model did not have any replacement parts so that was out of the question. I ordered another one, but in the meantime I picked up a MagHead at Menards. It worked great

When the new HH arrived, I dutifully hooked it up and torched. When I turned down the flame it would go out. I could not get the adjustment to hold a short flame without killing it.

So the HH is back in the glass cabinet and I'm back on the Mag Head. I can adjust it down to a very small flame without killing it. I work it with a bulk tank of proplyene and it's working very well for me. Your mileage may vary.
