It's not ideal, but i had a torch where the igniter died and I limped along for a month or so igniting it with a bic. Maybe there's something out there designed to be ignited externally?
In Northern Cali I've seen "Ringo's Gift" or "Ringo 2012", clocking in at 0.87% THC and 20.7% CBD. That's definitely the most extreme ratio i've seen so far.
I think I'm coming from a similar mindset as you. I discovered the Vriptech stuff back in 2000 or so and switched to vapor at home right then. (one hitters and joints on the road for a few years after, unfortunately).
If you still have your heat gun, you might want to look at Vriptech's 'new'...
