What style torch do yo use?
I have been wondering about the demographics of different torch users and the torch style used in the different fields of lamp working. So this poll will be aimed mainly at the world of beads and bead makers.
What style torch do you use.

yup a cheetah would fall in to that catogory.
minot or bob cats would fall under single stage torch. redmax's and CC and other 2 flame torchs with and inner or and outer flame or a top/bottom would fall under 2 stage torches.

I have several torches to play on, three single stage and one two stage with 4 studs. I hope to play with a 3 stage some day...*looks at Willy and bats eyelashes*
My Phantom is a 4-stud, but I do not have a pedal. I think that a pedal would be really cool, especially if I'm doing regular detail work and then want to quickly heat up a gather to encase it. Keeping something warm in the back flame while heating a clear rod (especially if you peel it) already takes two or three hands. Having a foot pedal would be great becasue you wouldn't have to juggle stuff to turn valves - you would just step on a pedal to get that outer fire going. How cool is that?

I know what a Hothead is, but what are these "stages" you have there? Love to respond, but I've no clue what category I am in -- use a Carlisle MiniCC.

A Mini CC is a single stage O2 torch.
The "stages" can be determined by how many different flame regions the torch has. Like on a Mini CC, when you turn the torch on, all the ports work all the time. On some larger torches, like a Carlisle CC, GTT Phantom, Bethlehem Barracuda, etc. there is a center flame and an outer flame that can be operated independently of each other. Those are dual stage torches. Torches like a MidRange Plus and a Red Max (that have one flame on top of another) also fall into that category.
Triple stage torches are big torches with three separate flames like a GTT Cobra or the Herbert Arnold torches.

Bobcat, Mini CC, and Hothead here. For my next torch, I haven't decided between a Cheetah or the Barracuda. My plan to use it for borosilicate work exclusively, because the others are fine for the soft glass.

Oh, I voted, but forgot to post...
I use a 2 stage 2 post - Bethlehem Tiger Shark.
Working on converting it to 4 post and foot pedal, though...

Yeah. I personally only know of a few people with a three stage torch. I'd love to hear from some people that use them.
One of these days I'm going to get me a Cobra or Python...

Jason Lee did his demo at Glass Evolutions on one and the pictures are up over there. Also, someone posted pictures on GLDG of Loren using his at the Kobe show.

Ahh. I saw the picture of Loren. I thought it was a Cobra...
So I guess I have seen one, then. How does it compare to the Cobra?
Is this it?
Hope Nathan doesn't mind me posting one of his pics here....
