Hi all,  I want to buy another torch but I am not sure which one to go for  :-\

I currently have a Carlise Mini CC,  which I am very happy with.

I would like to buy something that would allow me to work with Boro comfortably, I don't want a flame- thrower, but equally I don't want to fall asleep waiting for the glass to melt  ::)

I know that the Mini CC can handle small boro beads and sculpture, but frankly - I find it a bit slow. My oxycon does need a kick up the bottom, it could probably do with a service, and I could also do with adding another Oxy to get the full potential out of this torch too, which I am about to do.

This aside, I do need another torch as I am going to use it in a different work space, and was wondering what advice you could give me on what to purchase next?

;D ;D ;D

The Bobcat is nice for boro, but it depends how your funds are... the Lynx would be ideal and I think it has more control between pinpoint and hotter/bushier flame.

She's made of real glass. She got real real emotion. But my heart laughs I have that same sweet devotion!
