Torch lighter.
You just have to get used to not having the flame
so close to the opening.
If you stare closely at the end of the flame, especially against a dark background, you can see that the tip actually goes a little further than most people seem to notice.
I hold the TIP of the flame 1" from the opening and a take slow, steady pull. This works for me. On occasion, depending on the material, I'll bring the flame tip closer for split seconds at a time.
Yeah...torch lighter, hands down.
