Lighters & torches
by Silver Match
The Torch Hyper Lighter is a refillable butane jet lighter that produces a focused blue flame reaching up to 1,300°C — hot enough to heat a quartz banger in seconds or solder a wire in your workshop. Unlike soft-flame lighters that flicker and die in the slightest breeze, this one punches a concentrated jet that stays lit outdoors, indoors, and everywhere in between. It's the kind of tool that makes you wonder why you ever faffed about with cheap disposables.
If you've ever tried to heat a titanium nail with a standard Bic, you already know the answer. Soft flames don't cut it for dabbing — you'll sit there for a full minute watching nothing happen, burning your thumb on the flint wheel. The Torch Hyper Lighter eliminates that problem entirely. Its single jet flame concentrates enough heat to bring a quartz banger to optimal temperature in roughly 30–45 seconds, depending on thickness.
But this isn't just a dabbing tool. We've seen customers use these for everything from caramelising crème brûlée to shrink-wrapping heat-seal tubing. The adjustable air and gas controls let you dial the flame from a tight, precise point (good for detail work) to a broader, more aggressive jet (good for heating larger surfaces quickly). That kind of control is what separates a proper torch lighter from a novelty gadget.
The honest limitation? It's a single-flame unit. If you're heating a 30mm banger, it'll take a bit longer than a dual or triple flame torch. For most people, that's fine — and you get significantly better fuel economy in return. At 220 minutes of continuous burn time per fill, you'll go weeks between refills with normal use.

Most cheap torch lighters give you a single dial that controls gas flow — more gas means a bigger, sloppier flame. The Torch Hyper Lighter separates air and gas into two independent controls. Increasing gas without air gives you a larger, slightly cooler flame. Increasing air tightens and intensifies the jet. The sweet spot for dabbing is usually high air, moderate gas — you get a narrow, screaming-hot point that heats your nail without wasting fuel on a wide cone.
It's a small design detail, but once you've used a dual-adjust lighter, going back to a single-dial feels like cooking with oven mitts on. You just have more precision.
Complete your setup — pair the Torch Hyper Lighter with a quality dab rig or a DynaVap for on-the-go sessions. If you're running low on fuel, grab a can of refined butane to keep this thing topped up for months.
We've sold torch lighters since the early 2000s, and the number one issue customers come back with isn't a broken lighter — it's bad fuel. If you fill a precision jet lighter with cheap, impure butane, the nozzle clogs within weeks. The flame sputters, misfires, and eventually dies. Use triple-refined or higher butane, and this problem disappears almost entirely. It's the difference between putting diesel in a petrol engine and actually reading the manual.
The second most common issue: people crank the gas to maximum and wonder why the flame keeps blowing itself out. A jet lighter works by mixing butane with air at high velocity. Too much gas without enough air creates an unstable flame. Start in the middle, adjust in small increments. The Torch Hyper Lighter's dual controls make this easier than most, but the principle applies to every jet lighter we carry.
| Feature | Torch Hyper Lighter | Standard single-jet | Triple-flame torch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flame temperature | Up to 1,300°C | ~1,000–1,100°C | ~1,200°C |
| Burn time per fill | 220 minutes | 60–90 minutes | 30–50 minutes |
| Flame control | Dual (air + gas) | Single (gas only) | Single (gas only) |
| Heating speed (30mm banger) | 30–45 seconds | 50–70 seconds | 15–25 seconds |
| Fuel efficiency | Excellent | Moderate | Low |
If speed is your only priority, a triple-flame torch wins. But you'll refill it four to five times more often, and the broader flame makes precision work nearly impossible. The Torch Hyper Lighter sits in the sweet spot: fast enough for daily dabbing, efficient enough that you're not buying butane every week, and precise enough for tasks beyond just heating a nail.
220 minutes of continuous operation. In practice, if you're using it for 30-second dab sessions, that translates to roughly 440 uses per fill — enough to last most people several weeks.
Triple-refined or higher. Cheap butane contains impurities that clog the jet nozzle and cause misfires. Brands like Colibri, Vector, or Newport are reliable choices available in our shop.
Yes — and more precisely than most. The Torch Hyper Lighter has separate air and gas dials, giving you independent control over flame intensity and width. Most lighters only offer a single gas adjustment.
Effectively, yes. Jet flames are pressurised and don't rely on ambient air currents to stay lit. You can use the Torch Hyper Lighter outdoors without cupping your hand around it.
No. For shipping safety, torch lighters are sold empty. You'll need to fill it with refined butane before first use — takes about 5 seconds.
Look for a jet flame (not soft flame), adjustable controls, and a burn time above 100 minutes. The Torch Hyper Lighter ticks all three and adds dual adjustment for precision. If you need faster heating and don't mind refilling more often, a dual or triple-flame torch is the alternative.
Absolutely — it's one of the best single-flame options for DynaVap heating. The focused jet gives you precise control over where you apply heat on the cap, which directly affects vapour temperature and density.
