In my experience you can change the flame length to regulate the maximum temperature. With a smaller flame it is almost impossible for me to combust, even if I get very aggressive with the torch.
Did you try purging and refilling? Turn it upside down, hold it away from your body and face, and press the valve with a ballpoint pen or small screwdriver etc.
I am also new to torch lighters, and my Eagle torch also died within the first week. I knew that I was going to want a better torch anyway even as I ordered, so I had also ordered a Scorch Matador and it arrived the day after I was sure the Eagle was toast. (The Eagle had started sputtering and being difficult to light even though there was still some liquid in the tank. It had arrived with butane in it. I purged it and refilled, but even full it was still the same.) The Matador has been working great so far, and is capable of a much bigger flame than is required.
That is by far my favorite torch for the Brick. They light first try almost every time, and have a wide temp range perfect for the Brick.
I actually bought these based on your recommendation in the Daisy thread, thanks!
It's my thousandth post, I wanted to celebrate in this thread. As I type this I'm enjoying some chocolope in my Brick.
Infatuation: A Love Story
I'm not sure what made her catch my eye. She's a big girl, that's not usually my type. This one was just so beautiful though, and her large size intrigued me.
I liked her as soon as I met her. When we first started hanging out, she played hard to get a little bit. It didn't take long for me to charm her though.
I started hanging out with her more and more, neglecting my other friends. The more time we spent together the more I figured out what made her tick, which only made me more infatuated. I loved the way she felt in my hands, it was so comforting.
It wasn't long before I was in full blown love. I would sing her praises to anyone who'd listen. We had become very comfortable around each other at this point. I felt like I knew everything about her.
I don't want to make this a dirty story, but let's just say her performance in the bedroom was amazing. She was very adventurous too, we did it all over the house and even in public sometimes.
Just recently I figured out a new technique for our intimate moments, and I am stunned with the results. Her performance is even better than before, even though that shouldn't be possible. We reach a symmetry together that is beautiful, and something I haven't ever experienced before.
I have had many loves in the past, and it's very difficult to pick favorites. That being said, I do think my Sticky Brick is now my favorite vape. It's always been right up there at the top, but my new technique catapults it ahead of the pack.
I first learned the technique on the Junior. I use a strong flame, a little over an inch long, and place it in the sweet spot of my intake, the outer flame just flush with the intake. I keep the carb closed the whole time I'm heating until I clear the hit.
As soon as I see vapor I increase my draw speed as much as possible. I find this completely eliminates hot spots until the very end of the bowl.
I get that lovely immediate visual feedback with the vapor production, you see the vapor immediately start to thin, and then build up again. You can tweak torch placement a little bit if you find it's too thin or if you can't draw fast enough and it's too thick. I think it's a slow draw that causes hot spots.
You can push it very hard with long sustained hits and no fear of scorching if done properly. They aren't as long as my hits from before because of the increased draw speed, but they are huge and the vapor is more dense than it used to be since the carb stays closed.
This technique is not quite as tactile and fun as feathering the carb and constantly adjusting the torch, but it is more consistent and gives a more even extraction, with better flavor, and much more potent hits in my experience. My Brick was already a heavy hitter, now it's downright dangerous lol.
Came for the romance, stayed for the technique
