Yes, sometimes I wonder if my issues with the torch are the way I use it.
So I'm a beginner and I use COE104 only. Enough issues there for a thesis.
I also prefer less flame. I want to see and I want to control. So much going on- flame/placement/angle/time/color/melt
The candles on my SM7 tip are 5mm (just under 1/4 inch) and I know my gas pressures are well under the recommended levels.
Yesterday I got a couple of boro tubes and glass melted. Mmmm-always feels good.
Dusty, I think you use boro-if I have a memory of threads past. PattyK, I do not know what glass you are using so ...?
So, as for versatility, it might well be so. I am only running it in one particular corridor, in an area not recommended. It might be a superb torch for learning boro as it might function exactly like I like.
Cheers to those not cursed with overthinking.
