Is this torch easy to refill? What size of refill does it use? Is there an adjustment for high/low flame? Is it easy to use?

Do not buy this product! When I tried to refill it And relight it - it almost burned my eyebrows off in a rapid explosion- i never got it to relight again. I had to throw it away. Buy the kind of torch that screws onto the top of a can of gas- much better

Yes, it is very easy to refill using a standard size butane refill can. I use Zippo brand butane in a 4.5oz can and I'm guessing it will provide at least 25 refills. Yes, there is a an adjustment for high/low flame and you will normally keep it on the low, low setting. The high setting turns this thing into a major flame thrower and will use up the fuel supply rather quickly! Very easy to use. I primarily use it to quickly light a number of candles around the house, but it is also perfect for creme brulee and many other cooking and utility torch needs.

The only caveat is that it takes both hands to light, one to press the trigger and the other to pull down on the safety that is directly under the trigger. After several years of searching I finally found a similar torch with no safety, yay!! Since I use my torch several times a day that was an important feature, very annoying to have to do the "dance" while igniting the torch. Much simpler to just use my thumb to ignite the torch while the other hand holds or steadies another item.

The torch is very easy to refill. All you need is a standard butane refill canister (the kind used to refill butane lighters). You flip the torch upside down and press the butane refill canister to the refill port.The flame is adjustable: not just high/low settings but intermediate settings too.It's really easy to use. I've only used it to brulee sugar on creme brulees, but it seems like it would work on anything.

Yes, the torch is easy to refill. I bought it with the butane container suggested on Amazon, and that has a nozzle that fits into an opening on the bottom of the torch. Very easy...There is an adjustment for the flame, and I find it very easy to use. It also has a little lock mechanism below the trigger that you have to release in order to start the torch--a good safety feature.

Yes Joe, you refill it in the center of the knob which is also how you adjust your flame. Hope this helps?

I'm using it with a Lincoln Pro Mig 175. The torch plugs right in no problem. This welder had no provision for a spool gun. But, the modification was pretty easy. i just cut the wires to the internal motor and trigger, and wired them to a muilti-pin connector. I then wired the connector on the original torch to complete the internal motor connection when it was plugged in. On the spool gun torch I wired the connector to power its motor. No switches to mess with, all I have to do to change torches is remove the wire from the standard torch, swap the gas lines, and plug the one electrical connector in. Now it's easier tom swap torches than even welders that are designed to accept a spool gun from the factory. This is a very nice spool gun, smooth wire feed, light weight, easy to change spools. Even though it's plastic it is pretty rugged too.

You just need an Iso-fuel canister to screw it on to (not a camp propane tank). Once it is screwed on, you just turn the knob on the side to release the fuel in a varying stream. Ignite the stream and adjust to the size of flame you want. When you are done, you just unscrew it from the canister and put it back in the bag. Very easy to use.

I did my nephews HP564 using a very small 30 gauge needle and just punched a small hole through the sticker above the vent hole. About 3ml in the standard, and 6ml in the XL black. Then tape up the hole you created. So far the easiest refill. Also, you will have to ignore HP's low ink level alerts. There is a way to reset or change this, but I forget.Had to run 5 clean cycles as my nephew let it go dry for months before letting me know.

Yes it is easy to refill, but it should dispense more liquid with each press of the button, I find myself pumping it way too many times to get enough to do my hair. Overall I really like it.

I'm not sure if it's refillable. Most generally when there is a vehicle fire, you will use the extinguisher until empty as it's not a large device. Perfect for the car.

I'm not familiar with jewelry making but the flame size is adjustable. Everything from full on blow torch to a tiny flame smaller than Bic lighter.

It's easy, just make sure you clean the grease trap often. We've had some flames, I think it's because the grease trap sits under the fire bowl, so if you forget to empty it, you end up with a fire!

It is a nice little torch. I did have a small problem with number 4 tip threading onto the end of the torch. They sent me a torch right out and this one works great, no problems whatsoever.

No the fill valve for any butane lighter is pretty much a universal size based in an industry standard. Quality of butane varies but you should be able to refill any refillable lighter, culinary torch or even curling iron with any brand of butane refill.

I used to own was of those kitchen store bought 'creme brulee' kit torches and they suuuuuck. For Creme Brulee I'd recommend just getting BernzOmatic High Intensity Trigger-Start Torch Kit and a smaller gas cylinder. It's what I use for a kitchen cooking torch.

It is easy, just click off the "flame lock" click off the "safety" that is located directly below the button, then push the button and it flames. I love mine, on my third gas refill. I would recommend it!

It's larger than a standard creme Brule torch from bed bath and beyond still small enough though for a kitchen application. However flame is not really adjustable, and there is not oxygen cut off slide.

Not preloaded. I would look to a different torch if I were you. I went threw two in a month cause the gas didn't flow properly in the first one. Then the ignitor gave out of the second.

no I use a small plastic funnel, but often I just pour the oil directly in the torch opening. there are minor spills but they quickly burn off with the first lighting.
