​What Is A Dab Torch?

A Dab Torch is a heating element that uses butane fuel. It is essential to dab traditionally if you do not have another heating element, such as an electric coil or battery.

How Does It Work?

Dab torches work by using a knob on the torch that you twist or push to ignite the flame. Most Dab Torches have a flame adjustment screw on the side that allows you to control the amount of butane gas and flame released. To use it, you push or twist the flame on and adjust how you need it.

Different Kinds Of Dab Torches.

Dab Torches, of course, come in a variety at Honeybee Herb; here are a few things that you should look for when it comes to your dab torch:

Size And Shape: Dab Torches come in many shapes and sizes. Grab one that fits your space.

Temperature Range: Dab Torches come in different qualities. Some do not produce hot enough flames for dabbing, while others can get so hot that they can burn you. Get a torch that allows for a temperature that is hot enough.

Butane or Propane: It is always recommended to use butane! Butane is less harsh and chemical in comparison to propane. 

Durability: You want to get a torch that lasts. Sometimes, the cheaper, smaller torches aren't of the same quality as others. Make sure you are purchasing something that will last. 

Overall Quality And Safety: Since Dab Torches come in a variety, you must keep your eyes peeled for a quality and safe one. 

Don't expect quality from a bottom-of-the-barrel type of torch; some torches are only meant to light doobies.

Propane Vs Butane Torches: Most Significant Differences.

When it comes to a dab torch, butane and propane are the most common fuel sources you see. They do have their differences, though, and here is the breakdown.

Butane

• Less harsh chemically

• Cheaper

• Burns hotter at a slower rate

• Doesn't alter the taste of your product

Propane

• Pricey

• More chemically harsh on your pieces

With this information, you should know that it is always recommended to use butane over propane.
