I can't comment I have a minor and am having similar discussions with myself so I am watching with interest!
Hi Claire as well was just thinking about you last night nice to see you. Hope all is ok

I want a bushier flame than my minnow provides and have decided (well, 99% certain) I'll be going for a bobcat when I can afford it

 I go out, come back, get online and the whole thing has descended into a discussion on hot knobs..... might have known     not that i've got anything against them but they could distract me from my beading......   : 
Claire do you still manage to do details even though the megaminor flame is bushier?  Hi Sarah, it sounds like you quite like the Carlisle , so you find it does details and large beads no problem , depending on how flame is adjusted?    So i may be back to considering it, or maybe I should take a look at the megaminor.... this is driving me mad, I'm not normally so indecisive!

All this talk about minor burners is making me whistful

*strokes chin*

I'm off to post in the swaps thread I think

Me too Sam! Decided I am going to bank any future bead sales towards a new torch and want the best of all worlds - something nice and bushy for big beads and something nice and tight for dotty detailing and stringer work.

i did post some info from another forum- and then removed it... basically it said how ideal the carlisle mini cc was as it had a bushy flame and a pinpoint BUT the hot knobs were mentioned (sorry to start it up again!)   There was even advice on setting up some heath robinson thing with an aquarium tank and a garden hose so that the torch could be cooled..... it was on Lampworketc.   That kinda of freaked me out!   That said ;Corina tettinger on her site really recommends it,  it's still a contender for me,I just don't want to set fire to myself or my studio, especially if i use 2 oxycons!!!

You won't set fire to yourself with the knobs, they're NOT hot, oops, we could get smutty again 

yes it has a big bushy flame and a small pointy one. I lurve it, and at the moment I prefer it.

I think all the talk about cooling it is very misleading and very over the top, maybe it's a joke?

Lisa, have you moved? If not would you like to come and play and compare the 2?

[firedinglass]

Oh Yes please sarah   Nope not moved  still trying to sell the house...... it's never been so clean Will PM you
