LOL!! I remember when I took a class at FlameTree Glass and I had been working on a HH exclusively. I had them light it for me the first few times! Now, I don't even think about it with my Scorpion.
Torch choice seems to be pretty individual. But there's nothing, except striking glass well, that you can't do on a HH. However, Pandora and Fire Lotus strike in the kiln, so HH users are able to get some color out of those. Some things are more challenging, like De making murrini and having to switch tanks in the middle, because it takes a lot of fuel to melt that much glass. I tend to work hot and fairly close, so my work is much cleaner and brighter with the dual fuel torch, but it's more about the way I work rather than the torch.
