Not really sure what kind of burner I need, I just know I can't use a regular butane lighter..

By the way, I know you already have one, but for anyone who might be reading this thread with the same question: After shipping costs, that burner would cost me $24 on there but on Amazon there's the same burner for $16 after shipping costs to anyone who's trying to save a few bucks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UGU9XXO?keywords=alcohol%20burner&qid=1444839282&ref_=sr_1_6&sr=8-6

most shroomy people have a propane torch for smoking hash oil yes? Thats what I use. No need to buy an alcohol burner just for this if you've already got propane around. Sounds like even if you don't propane would be cheaper to buy.
15 bucks for a nozzle and 4 for a tank. 
Just make sure you get a nice stable propane tank. nothing wobbly that'll tip over

Shatter.
I use a vector butane torch. Holds a good amount of butane and has a removable base so I can stand it up.

Okay, I have everything I need now so just to clarify...I CAN use a regular butane lighter to sterilize the needle correct? and after I burn it I don't wipe it with an alcohol pad or anything, I just stick it in the hole and inoculate right?

No, after its glowing ReD Hot squirt a drop out to cool it.
If you wipe it with alcohol it will cease to be sterile

Of course for syringe it doesnt really matter

very cool 
though I want my current one to die so I can get the more stable green tank. Those skinny blue ones are way too wobbly for my taste, especially when iso is in the room.

bernzo torches are awesome. they have a piece that will keep the torch on and it has a stand. so you can set it on the table and flame away.
you can see it in this pic. the black thing.

Yeah my torch will lock on if I make it, but there's never a situation where I need the flame going for minutes at a time. I don't wanna buy more butane.

ive had this tiny little bottle of butane for 10 years. it takes about 3 seconds for it to fill the entire torch. and it lasts months. love those torches. i simply click it in place, flame, then click it off. id assume those larger torches use more butane. this little guy is very efficient.
here it is in action.

Just wanted to chime in, I saw a few recommend a propane torch. I've always heard you don't want to use a propane torch indoors without proper ventilation due to carbon monoxide build up, especially in small areas.
I could be completely wrong, I'm just regurgitating what I've heard many times. Google "propane vs butane indoors" and a lot of people have the same concern.

Carbon monoxide the next big thing. The thing people don't know is that its more like suffocation over poisoning. Carbon monoxide (due to missing that other oxygen to make it more stable) is a lot more polar than oxygen (o2, which is stable). Thus our red blood cells absorb it more easily than oxygen. If there's too much you suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
I have done propane torch running for 3hours+ without turning it off in an enclosed room. I didn't get light headed at all. I do have a carbon monoxide ppm tester due to living way out in the country. I'll have to see what it says after 3 hours of work next time I do that lol

seriously.
Ever seen that George Carlin clip where he's ranting about how we can't do anything, and people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off for safety and cleanliness. Those damn germs!! They even swab a prisoners arm before giving them a lethal dose . Every time I talk about safety, I just want to show them that clip

I think that they are referring to heating an area inside with propane with no ventilation. Reddy heaters and "salamander" style of heaters. Just a small flame from a small propane torch isn't the same at all.

Yea a small propane torch isn't going to do much harm a propane heater is no good for indoors though.
I have always used a propane torch with a blue tank. No problems heats up to red hot fast and really if you are having problems with it tipping either you are clumsy as fuck and need to quit bumping it or else you need a more level surface which is the problem that im having nothing is level in my house lol. The green tanks are a little more expensive if I remember correctly.(I use them for my lantern while fishing) If you want a gas that burns super hot use MAP gas for your torch. Its the yellow propane tank that is sold right next to the blue tanks. Cost more and it may burn too hot for a scalpel. I know its too hot for a syringe. Ive melted the needle right out of the plastic tip using MAP.

If you have a baby food jar and ball of cotton you can make your own alcohol lamp. I see you asking the same questions in different threads, the best piece of advice I can give you is don't cheap out and cut corners or your never going to have a successful harvest. Mistakes are going to be made, there is nothing you can do but learn from them and apply it to the next go a round.

its not that I have issues bumping it and tipping it overs. its that I see the potential for it to happen. why take the risk??
This one noob the other day said he has a problem with stabbing himself with syringes all the time in the SAB. now that is clumsy

Mad Season said: Carbon monoxide the next big thing. The thing people don't know is that its more like suffocation over poisoning. Carbon monoxide (due to missing that other oxygen to make it more stable) is a lot more polar than oxygen (o2, which is stable). Thus our red blood cells absorb it more easily than oxygen. If there's too much you suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
I have done propane torch running for 3hours+ without turning it off in an enclosed room. I didn't get light headed at all. I do have a carbon monoxide ppm tester due to living way out in the country. I'll have to see what it says after 3 hours of work next time I do that lol

If it were a real problem every plumber who sweats copper pipe would be dead. Propane torches work great. If you are truly worried you can use butane instead though.

Lol anyone who is growing cubes is taking risks already. Might as well live a little. Hahaha
If your torch ever did fall it shouldn't do much damage. At least not in a short period of time. Unless you use highly flammable materials around your torch. Which would be the real risk.
After using the same torch(different tanks of course) for about 7 years about 5 of which was for mycology, never once have I tipped it over, while it was lit anyways.
Also my torch goes out when held sideways.
Knock on wood, hopefully I don't tip my torch over and burn my house down tomorrow after opening my mouth.

You should be moving really slowly and looking at where your hand is going before it gets there while doing SAB work anyway so.. if you're able to knock over a propane tank in the process your sterile technique probably sucks too. No offense of course. Just facts.

co2 still kills people all the time dudes. all it takes is one slightly absent minded decision.
anyhoo, you can make an alcohol burner with just about any container that can handle heat and hold a liquid. wanna travel 1st class, add a wick. no need to spend money.
i have this ornamental burner that just has a metal cup to hold the alcohol.

Yea man I didn't like waiting for 30 + seconds with my lamp. If you have a lot of plates to work on it becomes so tedious! My propane torch was a great buy. Dunno why I was reluctant to get one at first

I just hope my sterilizing procedure was good. Soaked a paper towel with a bleach/water solution and wiped the walls, wiped the syringe down, put the needle on the syringe at the back of the SAB, wiped my jars, wiped my gloves several times before I did almost anything, wiped my little butane torch lighter, wore a cotton sweater that I tucked under my gloves and taped them together, took a shower before doing anything and washed a fresh pair of clothes, did everything inside my closet to try to keep the air flow down, put a wet towel down under the SAB, the holes in my SAB were small, flamed the needle between each jar, I worked at the back of the SAB, and I think the only thing that bothered me is my hand was over the jar a few times due to how I had the holes on the lid when I was innoculating so I hope that didn't screw anything up :/ I also sterilized my jars for a little over 90 minutes in the pot last night and let it cool overnight. I also used a little more of the syringe than I should've on accident. Instead of 1CC per jar it was more like 1.5CC or 2CC.

Oh dude that's legit man. Next time just wipe w ISO tho the bleach is too rough to breath
You'll be fine! Innoculating PF jars is pretty easy as long as you flame the needle between injections you cant go wrong. Provided the syringe was clean but most sponsor vendors are clean enough for BRF cakes

Huffing bleach a few times in an enclosed space will have him going out to get some asap. Hell even the iso takes a toll after a while if I'm doing a bunch of jars.

Well the damage is done. I plan on getting some iso on my next try but as sad as it is to say, I can't even scrape up enough change to get iso right now.

I can. That's why I don't have any money anymore lol. I pushed my limit at the grocery store (plenty to eat though) and got everything else I needed for my grow but failed to realize that we didn't have iso in the house. My mistake but hopefully that doesn't break my grow

Eh.. Iso/bleach/sanitisers aren't needed anyways. Except to clean paraphernalia, and make hash... I haven't used any sanis for myco work since may. Including jars and dishes that have been colonising in open air for weeks.. All my chambers/tubs/trays get is just a pressure wash spray. No sanis there either. Also no gloves used, no foil used, and no tape. Fuck you waste products!
Besides heat is what'll sterilize things anyways. That's why I PC my tools, and flame anything going over open media

Yes there's a trick. Don't let anything go over open media. Ever. Except flamed/PC'd tools. Even a gloved hand covered in alcohol hovered over open media for 1 second is garbage to me.
I've been doing my sab work this way long enough now to confidently say you don't need sanis or extreme cleanliness. Just don't let anything hover over open media 
Its much different with a hood tho. I wouldn't go downstream on a surface that hasn't been sanitized and the hoods been ran for an hour. But in a box there's nothing up stream. Still air makes things so much easier IMO.

Would be cool if you could use crazy ass physics to quantum-lock the air in there so it all slides along a plane and literally can't fall.
I guess that would make it... laminar still air or something.

that'd be the shit! And probably the only way we'd ever have a truly sterile work environment lol.
It'd be cool if we developed nanobots to make a cloud above our work space that would kill anything microscopic. Lol mushrooms and nanobots we could even get them to go into the caps and make it so they wouldn't produce spores for a sporesplosion

If they're doing that they may as well collect the spores while they're there and find their way back into storage.
I would be concerned about eating nanobots.

Iso and gloves are a safety net. as long as the air is still and your technique is good. You don't need that other stuff. That being said I still use gloves and lysol wipes. Iso is too expensive for this guy. It's more like $10 for a small bottle up here.

For problems with an actual mold in the wall, bleach works great. It will kill the mold itself. For spores on the wall, soap, water and a rag(seriously. Scrubbing the walls will remove everything) Bleach won't get the air. You need a HEPA to scrub the air effetively.

Yea that's what Im saying. I can't handle wiping down everything with ISO let alone bleach its too hard to breath!
My SAB I spray the walls w a mister bottle w a lil dish soap and water, I wipe everything that goes inside with ISO first and my gloves. That's to prep it.
When Im cleaning it out just dish soap and water.
My flow hood I hit the face with lysol before I run it and I wipe the glass on the table off with ISO, any work that goes in front with ISO and my gloves.
10$ a bottle? Why so much where you live its cheap here, 2 to 3 bux for a big bottle. You do go thru a lot though.

I forgot to mention I sprayed the whole closet with lysol before starting as well. Thank you to the guy a few pages back that mentioned that.

I bought an alcohol lamp right off the bat when I wanted to start growing shrooms. Worst idea ever. It wont even get a scalpel red hot.
Now im searching for a good jet lighter locally. Here welders really like to use heavy duty ones so they wont burn their hands everytime they light their torch

Just get a butane torch from Walmart. Mine was like $15. Propane works too but is a bit over kill.

I have this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Gas-Butane-Flame-Gun-Blow-Torch-Burner-Welding-Solder-Iron-Soldering-Lighter-/271675355501?hash=item3f411cf16d:g:9aEAAOSwVFlT9Wdf
It worked for me for about 6 months then the little metal part inside the barrel fell out today, I put it back in but it's a bit flimsy. Other than that I really like this torch especially for the price, nice big flame, fits right onto to the canister. The barrel is 3/4 inch diameter.
Also I have a butane lighter insert for a zippo, I forget what the brand name is "eagle-something", if I can find the thing I can tell you what the name is, worked great for a year now it's basically junk, works when it wants to, sometimes taking 20 tries to light.
