4.75″ ALEAF JET BLOW TORCH

The aLeaf Jet Blow Torch is a pocket-sized butane torch built for dabbers who need reliable heat without hauling around a full-size unit. At 4.75 inches, it fits in your hand, your pocket, or your travel kit — small enough to stay out of the way but powerful enough to get your quartz banger glowing in under a minute.

Key benefits

• Heat bangers fast without the bulk — the focused jet flame gets quartz to temp quickly for a compact torch
• Actually fits in a drawer or dopp kit — 4.75 inches means it travels without taking over your bag
• Dial in your flame — adjustable control lets you go gentle for touch-ups or full blast for cold starts
• Metal construction holds up — no cheap plastic housing that cracks after a few refills
• Refillable butane tank — grab a can from any smoke shop and keep it running for months
• Comfortable grip for extended use — textured metal body won't slip even during longer heat-up sessions

Best for

This torch is made for dabbers who want something reliable for daily sessions without the weight or footprint of a full kitchen torch. It's a solid choice for apartment setups where space matters, travel kits that need to stay compact, or as a backup torch when your main unit runs dry mid-session. If you're heating standard-size bangers for personal use, this handles the job. For massive terp slurpers or commercial-grade nails that need serious BTUs, you might want something bigger — but for everyday dabbing, this is a daily driver that earns its spot on the dab station.

How to use it

Butane torches are straightforward once you've done it a few times. Make sure your banger is secure in your rig, then hold the torch about two inches from the bottom of the nail. Sweep the flame in small circles rather than holding it in one spot — this heats the quartz more evenly and reduces the chance of hot spots that can scorch your concentrates.

For most standard bangers, you're looking at 30-45 seconds of heating depending on thickness, then a cool-down period before dropping your dab. The adjustable flame control on this torch lets you find your sweet spot: lower flame for more controlled heating, higher for when you're in a hurry. Some dabbers prefer the low-and-slow approach for better heat distribution, others blast it and wait longer for cool-down. Either way works.

When you're done, let the torch cool before storing. Keep it upright when possible, and refill before the tank runs completely dry — torches tend to last longer when you're not running them on fumes. Standard butane cans with the universal tip fit the refill port. Hold the can upside down, press firmly for 3-4 seconds, and you're good for another few days of sessions.

Specifications

What's included

• 1x aLeaf Jet Blow Torch (4.75 inch)

Note: Ships empty. Butane sold separately due to shipping regulations.

Compatibility notes

Works with any standard butane refill canister with a universal adapter tip — the kind you'll find at any smoke shop, hardware store, or gas station. The flame output is sized for personal-use bangers and nails in the 10mm to 18mm range. It'll heat larger nails too, just takes a bit longer. Pairs well with dab tools and carb caps for a complete low-temp setup.

Frequently asked questions

Does this torch come filled with butane?

No, it ships empty due to shipping regulations on pressurized fuel. You'll need to grab a butane canister separately — any standard refill can with a universal tip works. Most smoke shops carry them, and a single can lasts a surprisingly long time with a torch this size.

How long does a full tank last?

Depends on your session frequency and flame setting, but most dabbers get several days to a week of regular use from a full tank. If you're doing 3-4 dabs a day with 30-45 second heat times, expect to refill roughly once a week. Running the flame on lower settings extends tank life.

Will this heat a thick-bottom banger?

Yes, but it takes longer than a full-size torch. For standard 2-3mm thick bangers, you're looking at 45-60 seconds. For extra-thick 4mm+ nails designed for heat retention, budget closer to 90 seconds. The torch handles it fine, just requires patience compared to a bigger unit.

Is the flame adjustable?

Yes, there's a dial near the base that lets you control flame height and intensity. You can run it low for more controlled heating or crank it up when you need faster heat-up times. Most dabbers find a middle setting works best for even heating without wasting fuel.

Can I use this for other things besides dabbing?

Absolutely. The focused jet flame works for lighting cigars, caramelizing food, soldering small electronics, heat-shrink tubing, and various craft projects. It's a general-purpose butane torch that happens to be perfectly sized for dab use. According to Leafly's guide to dabbing, having a reliable torch is essential for consistent sessions.

How do I know when it needs a refill?

The flame will sputter, lose height, or fail to ignite consistently. Some people can feel the weight difference when the tank is low. Best practice is to refill when you notice the flame weakening rather than waiting until it dies completely — torches tend to perform better when you're not running them bone dry.

Is the ignition reliable?

It uses a piezo ignition system, which is the standard for butane torches. Click the button, get a spark, flame lights. No batteries required. These systems are generally reliable for thousands of ignitions, though like any mechanical part, they can wear over time with heavy daily use.
