RIP Scorchy. Something broke inside and now it won’t spark. I’m going to attempt to repair it but I suspect I’ll be replacing it.

Anyone have a recommendation for a nice twin-jet torch? I use it mostly with a Dynavap and would like something big enough to not refill every day but not too too big. Bonus points for a low-effort reliable trigger, a warranty would be nice too.

Edit: fixed it, still interested in recommendations :)

    Hey! What does the trigger do instead of spark? I ask because on a somewhat similar torch I had the trigger would depress with resistance but not sparked. I fixed it by greasing the moving part inside the plastic piezoelectric igniter.

      The trigger would just smoosh with no click, I guess as you described. I was actually able to fix it shortly after I posted, the sliding piece on the igniter was jammed. I didn’t think to lubricate it but I got it unstuck and the lighter is now working better than it did brand new 😎
