I'd just buy a propane or butane torch, much more convenient. You'll still have to buy a jug of denatured alcohol with that and you'll be in for about $20 total, for $30 you can get a nice propane torch from home depot with electric trigger ignition.

While you're there, grab a wick and some denatured alcohol. Ask an associate and they'll help you find it. The wick you're looking for is a white/light tan color with a red stripe going down the center.

Once you're home, grab a jar and drill a hole in it, just large enough to pull the wick through. It should not come through easily, you should take a little effort to pull it through.

Once the wick is pulled through and there is a .5-1" of wick sticking through the top of the lid, add some denatured alcohol to the jar and screw the lid on.

Voila, light the wick and you've got an alcohol lamp.

If you want to go ghetto, I just inverted a shot glass and dropped hand sanitizer on the bottom (now the top). I'm sure there's probably some reason why that's not a good idea, but it gave me a blue flame and turned my needle red, so I was happy. Just had to add more hand sanitizer and relight periodically.

My experience is it is very durable, taken several falls no problem. I guess you mean the electric start will wear out? Mine is about 4 or so years old. The flame is fine, doesn't seem very wide to me, not that it even matters for heating a needle or scalpel. You're just jelly of my swag, admit it. :nyan:

99% of my torch use is for dabs. The pencil brass tip does the best job IMO. Those plastic torch heads with the ignitors in them are just junk to me. That's all

Bodh is right. Most the others are shit and break unless you want to spend over 80 bucks on a torch.

Your torch doesn't go in your SAB...

Yes it runs the whole time. On very low

Ridiculous would be these shitty dinky DIY alcohol lamps people use.

Yeah I did that for far too damn long haha. I blame my contam issues on it for a large part. Kept taking transfer and always had at least one spot of bacteria. Really annoyed me. Rarely ever happens now. Maybe it was partially technique, but either way I'm blaming the lamp :wink:
