Broken torch?

[debaserrrrr]

I think I fucked up my GT8000 torch somehow. When I turn on the gas, it sprays a ton of tane (more than normal) and the igniter doesn't seem to be working. Is it possible to overfill? I refilled like normal, but the can was sitting outside after it rained for a bit (maybe a wet igniter?).

I guess I will go buy a vectoresque bed bath and beyond one to hold me while I return this. The lame thing is I bought the nice torch because I heard about issues with the one I'm about to buy.

Did you try purging it? If it's too full, depress the port where you fill it, that will fix most torches.

Let it drain out fully? You are awesome, I will try this soon. This should fix it actually, the fuel regulation seems to be what is wrong (too strong blowing on the ignitor prolly).

 

[OO]

Fully is not necessary, just a bit to help lessen the pressure. It might take a couple tries.

You are my savior! Thank you so much, I hadn't been able to dab since yesterday.

I have the Bed Bath & Beyond Creme Bruile torch and i have no issue with it... other than the fact that i ALMOST paid twice the price of the BB&B one at a LHS!!! Google search saved me that day!!!

I've been using one of these (an older version) for years.
