The get pretty warm but nothing I would consider hot. The mouthpiece can get pretty warm but again nothing I consider hot or uncomfortable. The X is a decent upgrade from the Xs. I think it'd be an excellent unit for folks who aren't "stoners" and looking to legitimately medicate. I...

I upgraded my Xs to the X recently. I used the Xs for about three months and found it to be an excellent piece for traveling. I've some dexterity issues and the air box with it's small pieces inside the mouthpiece were difficult for me. So far the X has again met my expectations - it will be...

Not the sexiest options but for the price you cannot beat the OG Solo and/or the Air. Mine are 5+ years old and have been used pretty much regularly - daily for 2-3 years and weekly since. I haven't upgraded my Solo yet because it still works as intended. I replaced the battery a couple of years...

http://www.xikar.com/products/lighters/stratosphere/ The Xikar Stratosphere is a jet lighter that has a very bright flame. It illuminates the Vapcap and the immediate area surrounding it. I've used it outside in the dark and inside a camping tent. The only problem I've had with this lighter is...

I bought an M in November 2017. I tend to keep things simple so as not to over consume and spend money on things I don't really need. After using it daily for about a month I realized that eventually I would want to get an Ti Omni. I didn't get the Omni yesterday - even though I was lucky enough...

Have zero complaints for the Xikar Tech Dual Flame. It's just under $40 but holds quite a bit of fuel (enough so that I don't have to refill every day). Bulky enough to not have to fumble around with it but small enough that it fits in pocket. I had horrible luck with the cheap lighters even...

I started with a single flame and then to a dual flame (both Xicar) and think my perfect spot is going to be in the middle somewhere (somehow?). The single flame seems a bit too pinpointed and takes much much longer to get to click but the hits are stronger - feels like more control with a...

I suspect I'll end up with the wide flame Blazer. I was hoping there might be another available. I prefer the larger tanks and consistency.

Any recommendations for a single head but wide flame? Or where two heads meet to one?

Picked up dual flame (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AKJIZY/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_9_w) and it's been a excellent performer and great choice for this cold winter. Heats to click in 12-15 secs for initial heat up. Less for subsequent heat ups. Haven't combusted with it... yet, but...

Ooooooh.... bottom to top. I'm bout to go check it out. Always surprised at the stuff I learn coming back to this thread. I'm using a dual flame Tech torch lighter. It's proving a good choice this cold winter. Really like the single flame too but was taking some effort due to temps and wind...

What kind of fuel are you using @cybrguy?

As someone who bought two $10 lighters (both failed within days) and then $30 two weeks later for a better one to replace them and $15 for a quality fuel and just dropped another $40 last night for a dual flame I bet I would pay $50 for that lighter... which I probably just should've done in the...

I started with cheap (<$10) torches from convenience and gas station. When they both stopped igniting after refilling with decent fuel, I bought a Xikar Stratosphere for about $25 (http://www.xikar.com/products/lighters/stratosphere/). It's been a much more reliable and higher quality lighter...

@stardustsailor people who like that particular lighter REALLY LIKE it. It's one I'm considering. Dual heads aren't so easily available so appreciate the input.
