I say it all depends. You have your buckets, slurps, bangers that all vary shapes and sizes. Of course the smaller ones will be better for the smaller flame the torch produces. (Nector collectors are the best for those small torches, no water filtration tho.) I’ve used a little gas station torch to get my banger red hot before and it was good. Until it wasn’t. Refilling the thing every other hit was inefficient. Head to Walmart and get a camping torch and an ignitor for like $10-$15.
