Dab Torches

Dab torches come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and designs. Some are small and discreet enough to be carried in a pocket, while others are larger and require a stand to hold them in place. The size of the dab torch you choose will depend on your personal preferences and the frequency with which you intend to use it.

Types of Dab Torches

Propane torches: Propane torches are some of the most popular types of dab torches. They’re small, easy to use, and can heat up a dab nail quickly and efficiently. They’re also relatively cheap, making them an affordable option for those on a budget.

Butane torches: Butane torches are another popular option. They’re sleeker and more attractive than propane torches, making them a great choice for those who want a stylish dab torch. However, they’re also slightly more expensive than propane torches, and they tend to burn out faster.

What to Look for in a Dab Torch

When choosing a dab torch, there are several factors to consider. Here are some of the most important ones:

1. Size: As mentioned earlier, dab torches come in a variety of sizes. Consider how frequently you’ll be using the torch and where you’ll be using it. If you plan to use it on the go, a smaller torch may be more suitable.

2. Fuel source: Consider the type of fuel source you prefer. Propane and butane torches are relatively cheap and easy to find.

3. Ignition method: Some dab torches have a button that needs to be pressed to ignite the flame, while others have a striking mechanism. Consider which ignition method you prefer. A button ignition may be more convenient, but striking mechanisms are more reliable.

4. Flame size: Some torches have a larger flame than others. A smaller flame is useful if you’re using a smaller nail, while a larger flame is better for larger nails.

Safety Lock

This is an absolute must if you have children. Safety is the number one priority in the kitchen, especially with flaming hot apparatus like a dab torch!

If you have a family to consider, always ensure that your dab torch has the safety lock feature. This means that if a vulnerable person gets hold of your torch, they won’t be able to create a flame which could result in fatal consequences.

Anti-Flare Neck

It’s important that your dab torch has an anti-flare neck. If it doesn’t, don’t consider buying it!

Anti-flare allows you to smoke in different positions. It’s irritating when you’re stuck with a difficult dab torch that only safely produces a flame in an upright position. Without anti-flare you run the risk of the flame flaring back onto your fingers.

Flame Adjustment

Flame adjustment is useful for various smoking techniques. The flame needs to be strong enough to heat up your quartz for your weed to be smokeable without burning off your eyebrows.

The ideal flame should be short and blue, this should be achievable by simply adjusting the flow of gas to suit your needs.

Refilling

If you’re in the middle of dabbing and you run out of fuel, would you want to spend time failing to refill? The answer is no.

Therefore, you should be confident that the dab torch you choose is easy to use and easy to refill because you don’t want to waste hours on Google trying to desperately figure out how to refill your torch.

Consider purchasing a torch that has an indicator for the fuel level.
