The aLeaf Blue Turbo Blow Torch V2 is a compact butane torch built for dabbers who want reliable heat without hauling around a full-size unit. At just 5 inches tall, it fits in a drawer, travel kit, or next to your rig without taking over your station. The 2500°F flame handles quartz bangers and titanium nails with room to spare, and the continuous burn time of up to 35 minutes means you're not constantly clicking the igniter mid-session.
Why this torch works
- Heats bangers fast without the bulk — 2500°F output gets your quartz to temp in seconds, not minutes
- Actually portable — 5-inch height slides into bags, drawers, or tight shelf spaces
- Marathon burn time — up to 35 minutes continuous means fewer refills and less hassle
- Turbo flame design — concentrated heat pattern for efficient heating without wasting fuel
- Easy one-hand operation — igniter and lock positioned for quick access
Best for
This torch fits dabbers who session at home but don't want a giant torch dominating their space. It's also solid for anyone who travels with their setup or keeps a rig at a friend's place. If you're doing occasional dabs throughout the day rather than back-to-back marathon sessions, the 5-inch form factor makes sense. For heavier use, you might want a larger tank, but for most daily drivers, this handles the job.
How to use it
Fill the tank with quality butane before first use — butane isn't included due to shipping regulations, so grab a can locally or add one to your order. Flip the torch upside down, press the butane nozzle into the refill valve, and hold for a few seconds until the tank is full. Let it sit for a minute to stabilize before lighting.
To heat your quartz banger, hold the flame about an inch from the bottom and move it in small circles. Most bangers need 20-40 seconds of heat depending on thickness. Let it cool for your preferred temp — usually 30-60 seconds for low-temp dabs. The turbo flame concentrates heat efficiently, so you're not burning through fuel heating the air around your nail.
Keep it on a silicone dab mat while it cools. Even compact torches get hot during extended use, and the nonstick surface protects your table and keeps your whole station organized.

Care and safety
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't leave it in a hot car — butane expands with heat. Refill when the flame starts getting weak rather than running it completely dry. Wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth if it gets sticky from handling. Keep the nozzle clear of debris for consistent flame output.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't this come with butane?
Butane is classified as a shipping hazard and can't be included with torch orders. Grab a can of quality butane from a local smoke shop or hardware store. Refined butane burns cleaner and keeps the nozzle from clogging over time.
Will this heat a thick quartz banger?
Yes. The 2500°F flame handles standard and thick-bottom bangers without issue. Thick quartz just needs a bit more heat-up time — usually 30-45 seconds instead of 20-30. The turbo design concentrates the flame for efficient heating.
How do I know when to refill?
The flame will get shorter and weaker when fuel runs low. Some torches have a visible fuel window, but the reliable test is flame strength. Refill when you notice the flame struggling to maintain consistent output.
Is this torch adjustable?
Most turbo torches in this class have a flame adjustment dial near the base. You can tune the flame height and intensity based on what you're heating. Start with a medium setting and adjust from there.
How long does a full tank last?
With up to 35 minutes of continuous burn time, a full tank handles plenty of sessions. If you're heating a banger for 30 seconds per dab, that's roughly 70 dabs before refilling — though real-world use varies based on flame intensity settings.
Can I use this for things other than dabbing?
The 2500°F flame works for culinary applications like searing, caramelizing sugar, or roasting peppers. It's also handy for lighting cigars, soldering small projects, or any task that needs concentrated heat. According to Leafly's guide to dabbing, proper torch technique is essential for getting the most from your concentrates.
What's the difference between this and a bigger torch?
Bigger torches hold more fuel and have larger flames, which means faster heat-up times and longer use between refills. The tradeoff is size and portability. This 5-inch torch is for people who value compact storage and don't need industrial-level burn time. It's a daily driver, not a production tool.
