Have one. What do you want to know?

Well is it any better than a regular butane/propane torch? How do you like it?

 

[Stowe Boy]

The flame is hotter than my other butane torch, but I have not quantified that. (Maybe my other butane torch is a dud.). I base that on the charcoal lighting faster.

The part that makes it better is the built in fan. You can really direct this to get your fire going. The fan is what makes it better than just a plain torch.

Depending on how much you use it, I am getting several (4-6) starts before recharging.

I like that it is portable. I equate it to my luftLighter being cordless.

Way cool! I finally saw something that BBQ guy on Tv doesn't have, the guy from Barbecue University. That is a binford quality lighter for sure, MO POWAH

$80 buys ALOT of matches or BIC lighters.

$80!? Think mine was $35ish.

Not worth $80.

Cool concept, the price might make or break the thought of buying one through. My concern for items like this is the life of the battery. Is this something that the battery is going to be dead and not hold a charge after 6 months?
