The aLeaf 7-inch Turbo Flame Blow Torch is a compact butane torch built for dabbers who need reliable heat without hauling around a full-size unit. With a 2500°F flame output, it heats quartz bangers and titanium nails quickly and evenly, getting you to temp faster so you can focus on the session instead of waiting around.
At 7 inches tall, this torch hits a sweet spot between the tiny pocket torches that run out of fuel mid-sesh and the bulky kitchen torches that take up half your dab station. It's sized right for daily use at home while still being portable enough to toss in a bag when you're headed somewhere.
This torch works well for daily dabbers running a few sessions throughout the day who want something more substantial than a mini torch but don't need industrial output. It's also a solid backup torch to keep around if your main unit runs dry. If you're heating large bangers repeatedly or doing back-to-back dabs for extended periods, you might want something with a larger fuel capacity — but for typical home use, this handles the job.
Before first use, fill the torch with butane fuel through the refill valve on the bottom (butane sold separately due to shipping regulations). Hold the canister inverted and press firmly into the valve until the tank is full — you'll hear the hissing stop when it's done. Let it sit for a few minutes after filling to let the butane settle and reach room temperature.
To operate, unlock the safety mechanism if equipped, then press the ignition trigger. The turbo flame should ignite immediately with a strong blue cone. Aim the flame at your quartz banger or nail, keeping the tip of the blue cone about an inch from the surface for optimal heat transfer. Move the flame around the banger rather than holding it in one spot — this prevents hot spots and gives you more even heating.
Most dabbers heat for 30-45 seconds depending on banger thickness, then let it cool for another 30-60 seconds to reach the right temp. A carb cap helps retain heat once you drop your concentrate in. When you're done, turn off the torch and let it cool before storing. Keep it upright and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Note: Butane fuel is not included and must be purchased separately due to shipping hazard regulations. Fill before first use.
Keep the nozzle clean by wiping away any residue buildup periodically. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. If the flame starts sputtering or weakening, it's usually time for a refill — don't wait until it's completely empty, as running a torch dry can affect performance. Use quality butane for cleaner burns and longer torch life.
Why doesn't this come with butane?
Butane is classified as a shipping hazard and can't be included with torch orders. You'll need to pick some up locally or from a retailer that handles hazmat shipping. Most hardware stores, smoke shops, and big box stores carry standard butane canisters that work fine.
How long does a full tank last?
Depends on how long and how often you're heating, but most dabbers get several days to a week of regular use from a full tank. If you're doing multiple sessions daily with longer heat times, you'll go through fuel faster.
Will this heat a thick-bottom banger?
Yes, 2500°F is plenty hot for thick quartz. You'll just need to heat a bit longer than you would with a thin-wall banger — usually an extra 15-20 seconds. The turbo flame helps distribute heat evenly.
Is there a safety lock?
Most aLeaf torches include a safety mechanism to prevent accidental ignition. Check the base or trigger area for a sliding lock switch.
Can I use this for anything besides dabbing?
Technically yes — butane torches work for culinary tasks like searing, caramelizing sugar, or roasting peppers. But if you're using it primarily for concentrates, you probably want to keep it dedicated to that. Cross-contamination isn't ideal.
How do I know when it needs a refill?
The flame will get weaker and shorter, or it might sputter and have trouble staying lit. Some torches have a visible fuel window — if yours does, you can see the level directly. Don't wait until it's bone dry to refill.
What kind of butane should I use?
Standard refined butane works fine. Higher-purity butane (often labeled "5x" or "7x refined") burns cleaner and can extend the life of your torch, but regular butane from the hardware store will get the job done. Avoid the cheapest off-brand stuff if you can — impurities can clog the nozzle over time.
