Title: GTT Bobcat, what's the flame like
Post by: firedinglass on February 22, 2009, 06:47:05 PM
I was about to order a carlisle mini CC from the US but I've seen an ad for a bobcat at a good price.  It claims that the flame goes from a bushy to a pinponit. Is this so, do those of you who have a bobcat find the flame adjustable for large beads and then stringer work?

Definitely hot for bigger beads and a fairly nice, compact flame anyway. I'm not sure how pointy it goes - it would depend on how fine the stringer work you wanted to do was. :)

The Bobcat sounds really good ;D

I'v just moved onto the minor from the hothead a month or so back... 

I am liking the minor and found the transition really pretty easy. 

I do think it could do with a little more flame control as it just dos'nt seem to give the pin point flame that your looking for.
