Yes. I have several. They are one of my favorite lighters. They are basically the size of a standard Vapcap. They have a nice fuel window on the side. You slide the gas button up and roll the ignition wheel over a flint. They stay on until you push the gas button down to the off position. I love this feature because there is no need to hold down an ignition trigger like most other lighters. They are inexpensive.

The down side is that the tank is small since the lighter itself is tiny but it's easy to keep a few in rotatation.

I love the Aomia cylinder lighter.

Cool! I like the ergonomic too. Seriously considering that or another similar Aomai. Check this one I found: https://www.dhgate.com/product/new-...id=504385707329568772#s2-11-1b;srp|2198315146

Vector Summit looks cool to but $30 and 'lifetime' warranty requires you pay for shipping both ways.

I was looking at those single flame Aomai... I only have a triple torch atm, and would like a single torch as well. While looking, I also found this... has anyone tried? Honest BC520

After all @Squiby's preaching, I ordered one of those Aomai's several months ago, and I've since tended to use it exclusively since then when I'm home and the fans are off. . Only downside is they have a teeny tank, so you constantly have to refill them. I plan on picking up a few more soon though.

I am still using my V1 Vertigo cyclone after many many months daily use. By far the most robust, consistent performing torch I ever had. It always sparks, has a great flame. Is very windproof. Just very well built anyhow. I should branch out more and expand.

I do have a Pipes jarhead IH but I never use it because I just dont get the same performance as torching. Torching, I can always get even, consistent hits and uniform extraction in 3--5 cycles. Usually 3 very good, equal and rarely disappointing hits, which are always smooth and never unpleasant. Every time, I dont really have to think about it or use my brain to get exactly consistent results and extraction everytime.

In contrast with the induction heater I have to go quite some way past the click to get the same sort of decent and full-sized hits I like, it is a hard line to draw to not go too far and can bus or get a much harsher less tasty hit. Often the hits are underwhelming, but still taste a little off to me like an overtorched one.

I know how much everyone loves their induction heaters so it does puzzle me how I have never been satisfied with my but I have come across some other people who have reported exactly the same experience and their preference for torching.

I may play with it some more or its up for sale soon.
One way or another, Vertigo Cyclobe V1 FTW still! (Got one for my mum as well, she rates it too) :rockon:

Get a Flux Deluxe - or I guess there's a plug in version if you prefer.

I opted for the 15mm coil with my FD and it goes through a full Omni in three dense hits compared to five or six on my Jarhead. It's evident how much hotter it is and I really have to stop at the click. On the Jarhead I go two seconds past the click on the first hit. I'll have a new M in a few weeks and I'm curious how it will perform on the Fluxer.

I'm utterly in love with single flame torch lighters even with a IH, i still use a honest brand single flame for 50% my vapcap use.

I'm really tempted to upgrade to a st dupoint minijet or maxijet just for bling but also seems like money that really doesn't need to be spent...

The combination of the Flux Deluxe and Woodscents has completely cured my TAS condition. I love the predictable and repeatable results of both. However, I’m a firm believer in the torch and a vapcap lover learning proper torch technique. I still have a couple of full cans of good butane and plan to keep the decent torches I do have in good condition and safe for the zombie apocalypses (parts 1&2).

Has anyone by chance had any experience with the metal clipper jet flame lighter? I dig clippers in general and I am leaning towards one for my first Dynavap lighter, They are pretty cheap and I can grab one on my walk home and not have to bother with the internet :)

Just got two of these (https://www.dhgate.com/product/new-arrival-genuine-aomai-compact-jet-butane/425832467.html). They feel solid. Haven't fired them yet.

Compared to the St DuPont that I was suggesting the Zippo would probably suit better, they are cheap and have a lifetime warranty, St Dupont 1-2 years.

Eagle jumbo pen single torch off amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Single...1554044168&s=gateway&sprefix=eagle+jum&sr=8-1

2 torches for 10 bucks. Huge fuel tank and it’s quite easy to see how full the tank is.

My two torches have a slightly different sized max flames, but it’s not bothersome to me. I actually like the little kickstand it has though I admit I don’t use it much, I prefer to hold the torch in hand.

I wouldn’t take this particular torch out with me anywhere that I want to be discrete. However, awesome torch around the house, I’d take it camping (it claims to be wind proof, I need to step outside with it and test), it’s tank will last a long time, even if you’re chain vaping or using the torch for other purposes.

I have had mine since November, I’ve read some reviews on Amazon where people reported theirs stopped working after a month or so. However, mine have been problem free (except sometimes the flame lock will slide itself locked while the torch is off, not at all a big deal) without any particular maintenance on my part, I just fill with high quality butane (vector).

For a home use single flame torch I think this is a pretty sweet device. Huge visible tank, adjustable flame, flame lock, and a kickstand if you want to operate hands free. At 2 for 10 bucks i prefer it over my vertigo triple flames and my Vector pyramid lighter. I know many folks love the vector pyramid but I just think the minimum flame (on mine at least) is too big, it requires me to hold the vapcap away further to get an even roast for that first heat cycle at least. It definitely gets to the click faster, but I feel like I lose a lot of control that I have found I really enjoy from the large single flame.

Like you sit your cap on the side of the flame to heat up? Sorry I'm not able to see the img in your comment.

Yes. That's the one. Depress the ingition button and the lid pops up. Then rest your VapCap on the lid with the tip and cap protruding over the flame and twirl.

I love this lighter. I've got a couple of them and have given one to an M for a friend buddies as a Christmas gift.
