Fesceusty Torch Lighter, Bright Fire Lighter with Safety Lock and Adjustable Red/Blue Flame, Refillable Butane Gas Windproof Jet Flame Cool Lighters, for Candles Campfires BBQ Baking, Camping, Gift

Bought this to scare my buddy at a bbq. But after a few days I use it to light my bbq, light cigars, start camp fires and burn small heat shrink jobs. Also, the colored flame is fun at night.

This is definitely worth the money I spent on it and it tells you how to use it. It’s very easy to use. It’s more durable than any torch I’ve had before and the design is very cool. The only complaint I might have is that you have to remove apart to change the flame color. I had to use a very small screw ever to pop it out and don’t even think about doing it if it’s still hot I’m still fidgeting with the flame size. If I put it on too low, the frame will go out and becomes hard to use as a small lighter you turn on too high flame grow to be about 6 inches , the hilt is a little bulky. I have deep pocket so I can carry mine around, but otherwise it would be hard to carry. The flame is actually very good and hot. I was able to use it too weld

So, I got this with expectations that it may produce an impressive flame, but there may be usability issues. While it does have some issues, they can all be worked around as long as you understand what's going on. The first thing I noticed after unboxing - a near complete lack of instructions. While usage is pretty intuitive if you've used butane powered devices previously, there's a few things where having some basic instructions would probably go a long way - even if they're just in the product description page.Fundamentally, this is a butane torch. By default, the flame is blue, but if you place something in the path of the flame, an arrestor of sorts, you can change the color to red. By default, there's a metal grill installed at the opening where flame comes out. This is what makes the flame red. If you remove it, the flame will be the "normal" blue. The metal grill is very thin and as a result can bend or break easily so be careful with removing it. You might be able to just shake it out but otherwise, use a toothpick or something small where you can gently pull on the ring to pull it out. Given the reviews that mention not being able to get the flame to change color, that's probably a major gotcha for most.The next is that you can adjust the size of the flame by twisting the dial that's just around the trigger. There's a variety of adjustments but it can be adjusted to the point where almost no gas is released when the trigger is pulled/held. If you have it turned too far down, this would make it seem like your torch is not working! Luckily, out of the box, it was in the middle position and so when I next tried to light the flame after fiddling with that dial and removing the grill, the torch didn't light, it didn't take me too long to realize what may have happened.A related gotcha is that there's no way to see how much butane is loaded into the torch. So for me, my first thought when I failed to get it to light is that I somehow didn't put much butane in it. So I tried to put more, but being near full, I quickly ended up spilling the HIGHLY FLAMMABLE butane around the bottom of the torch. Which of course caught fire when a minute later I realized what was going on and turned the dial that meters the gas output. Luckily, butane evaporates quickly and I happened to be doing this near a sink so when the whole torch went up in flames, I just dropped it then patted the flames out.Word to the wise - don't engage the switch to hold the trigger open until you've finished setting things up and are confident about operating the torch.

First, zero instructions within the box itself. Pulled out the lighter, tried to turn on and nothing. Went to REI to get butane. Filled it with butane, still doesn't start. Sure would be nice to get some instructions on this. Item being returned and will find something better, or at least that works.

I like the fact that it looks like a lightsaber for from Star wars Big Star wars fan kind of disappointing that once you had three fill the lighter the pink fades away and it's only a blue flame after that but other than that excellent product
