Is this a hot head and do you think it will work for glass?
The reason a HH is loud is the combustion process, it is NOT like a fuel/oxygen torch in that the HH has to draw its own air into head to support combustion process. To do this the air/fuel torch sustain a combustion process that is sort of a mini, continuous explosion, that is why ANY fuel/air torch has a roar to it.....

Now riddle me this.....



Is the item in this picture A> a HOT HEAD, B> a MAG TORCH 245, C> a BBQ LIGHTER. D> a SPACE ALIEN WEAPON?
