Mines a 3 dollar one from the dollar store.
I bought butane to fill it up but every time I try, it fucks up and doesn't work anymore. So I just bring it back in and tell them it's faulty and they give me a new one.
It's a little scummy but I'm fine with it :lol:

The harbor freight one I had malfunctions and makes a 3 foot jet of flames and overheats then the plastic melts. A friend gave me three of them. Theyll burn your house down. Definitely not UL listed

Does anyone have any recommendations as far as propane torches? I've never used one and using a lighter for anything other than agar work is driving me nuts. I HATE doing SAB work and I want to spend as little time doing it as I can. My lc failed so I'm going to put agar to grain but it's even more frustrating doing that inside the SAB. I just did 5 jars from 1 plate and it was annoying af. I can't imagine doing that for every plate that I do.

So I get a PM in regards to the ape swab I got in a give away, said the letter got returned.  A pic was attached, address was correct, name was Paul stamets.  I asked my wife, who always gets the mail if she got this letter.......  She goes " I didn't know who Paul was, told them to take that shit back". :eek:

I can't even be mad at her. She now knows who he is.

i HATED SAB work till i found a method i prefered. SAB style i liked and a method that worked for my sense of logic and ease of mind. contam rates went from 40-70% to like 5% if that. then a bit more refining of my sterile tek and boom. no more problems.. mostly. lol

i hate using open holes. space for air to move in and out. so i sealed my glove box mostly. took one of the tubs with the anti mold foam seal in the lid. cut 2 5" holes with a hole saw(on side of tub), stick 2 toilet flanges in the holes and secure, then ziptie dish gloves to the flanges on the inside. voila. sealed box.

hate flame steilizing. i feel doesnt clean everything (like the plastic end to the syringes that attaches it to the syringe body). so i wrap all my tools in foil and pc em clean. might be a bit tedious but it eases my mind.

so with a sealed glove box and perfectly clean tools, my contam rates plumeted.
others find this method of sterilizing to be tedious or overkill, but it works for me and im comfortable with it. :shrug:

Sometimes people develop skill at the same time they build new contraptions and decided the contraption had to do with the success.
Pretty typical noobs say they can't succeed with a sab then build a FH and get successful. Well you actually just finally figured out sterile technique and got comfortable with your hands.

really it was the way i cleaned my syringes that made the biggest difference. i felt more comfortable using my hands then since i didnt have to handle a torch and worry about air flow from the torch and all that other stuff my slight OCD mind wont let go of. i was still getting a fairly high contam rate tho. once i made the closed SAB i felt perfectly comfortable with my hands. idk why. and maybe it was a skill developement, but i just cant let go of the closed holes.

but thats also why ill stick to my original post. follow basic sterile tek ,of course, but find something that your comfortable with, and that makes sense and WORKS for you. and you do good. :wink:

Torch stays on and never moves.
Torches clean the air. Before SABs people used to just work close to running Bunsen burner.
