      Butane torch lighters from Vector, Blazer, Newport, Scorch, Wulf Mods, Yocan, Smyle Labs, and Techno Torch — the high-temperature torches that heat a quartz banger for concentrate dabbing, plus torch stands and accessories from Blast Sheelds. The dab-torch selection at Angies Boutique, 838 N Broadway in Los Angeles, stocked in person and shipped within California.

      • Professional dab torches (Blazer Big Buddy and Big Shot GT8000 — 2500°F flame)
      • Everyday butane torches (Vector Nitro and Mini Nitro in 10 colorways each)
      • Compact torches (Newport 5.5" Mini Torch, Techno Torch spray-can torches)
      • Cigar torches (Scorch 51317, Scorch Torch 51535)
      • Refillable torches (Wulf Mods Blast and Roar, Yocan Shift and Red Legends, Smyle Labs Fyre)
      • Torch stands and accessories (Blast Sheelds base/knob sets, Heat Cage Nozzle Guard)

      A butane torch lighter produces the sustained, high-temperature flame required to heat a quartz banger, titanium nail, or ceramic nail for concentrate dabbing — a job standard lighters cannot do. A torch is the single most important tool for anyone dabbing without an e-nail. The flame needs to be hot enough to bring quartz to dabbing temperature in a reasonable time, stable enough to hold a consistent point, and wind-resistant enough to work reliably.

      The torch selection at Angies Boutique covers every tier. Professional torches — the Blazer Big Buddy and Blazer Big Shot GT8000 — run a 2500°F flame and are the long-running gold standard for serious dabbers, with adjustable flame control and a stable base. Everyday torches — the Vector Nitro and Vector Mini Nitro, each in ten colorways — are the reliable mid-tier workhorses. Compact torches — the Newport 5.5" Mini Torch and Techno Torch spray-can torches — trade size for portability. Cigar torches — Scorch 51317 and Scorch Torch 51535 — are multi-jet torches that also serve dabbing. Refillable budget torches from Wulf Mods, Yocan, and Smyle Labs round out the entry tier. Torch accessories — Blast Sheelds base, knob, and cap-holder sets and the Heat Cage Nozzle Guard — protect and stabilize the torch on a dab station.

      Torches pair with the banger they heat and the rig they sit beside. Compare against Quartz Nails for the banger, Dab Rigs for the rig, and E-Nails for the torch-free electric alternative. For everyday flower lighters, see Lighters.

The Newport 5.5" Mini Torch is the compact pick — wind-resistant butane power in a pocket-friendly size.


      Buyer Recommended Pick Why
      Serious daily dabbing Blazer Big Shot GT8000 or Big Buddy 2500°F adjustable flame, stable base, gold standard
      Reliable everyday torch Vector Nitro Torch Refillable workhorse, 10 colorways
      Portable / compact Newport 5.5" Mini Torch Wind-resistant power in a small body

      Budget refillable Wulf Mods Blast or Yocan Shift Entry-tier refillable butane torches
      Dab station upgrade Blast Sheelds base & knob set Stabilizes and protects the torch on a station

      Butane torches ship empty — they require butane fuel, sold separately, and should be refilled with quality filtered butane to avoid clogging the jet. Torch flames reach 2000–2500°F; keep them away from anything flammable and never aim at glass that is already hot. Blast Sheelds and Heat Cage products are accessories, not torches — they hold and protect a torch but do not produce a flame. The Terp Sous Vide is a precision-dabbing kit, not a standalone torch. For a torch-free heating method entirely, see the E-Nails collection.


      Start with the Blazer Big Shot GT8000 as the professional benchmark, read the butane torch buyer's guide for choosing the right flame, and check Quartz Nails for the banger the torch heats.

      Frequently Asked Questions about Premium Torch Lighters

      Heating a quartz banger or titanium nail for concentrate dabbing requires a sustained flame in the 2000 to 2500°F range, held on the quartz for 20 to 40 seconds. A standard lighter produces neither the temperature nor the sustained, directable flame to do this — and would burn the user's hand long before the quartz was ready. A butane torch is purpose-built for this job.
      The Blazer Big Shot GT8000 and Blazer Big Buddy are the long-running professional benchmarks — a 2500°F adjustable flame with a stable base. For everyday use, the Vector Nitro Torch is the reliable mid-tier workhorse. For portability, the Newport 5.5" Mini Torch delivers wind-resistant power in a compact body. The right pick depends on how often you dab and whether the torch lives on a station or travels.
      No. Butane torches ship empty and require butane fuel, sold separately. Use quality filtered butane — cheap unfiltered butane leaves residue that clogs the torch jet over time. Refill through the valve on the base of the torch, and bleed any air from the tank before the first fill for the most consistent flame.
      Blast Sheelds are torch accessories — base, knob, and cap-holder sets that hold a torch upright and stable on a dab station, often with a built-in spot for a carb cap or a Terpometer stand. They are not torches and do not produce a flame. They are an optional upgrade for anyone building a dedicated dab station who wants the torch stabilized and organized rather than loose on the table.
      A torch is portable, inexpensive, and requires no power — but the temperature varies hit to hit and it takes practice to time the heat and cool-down. An e-nail holds an exact set temperature every dab, with no flame and no butane, but costs more and is less portable. Heavy daily and medical users often prefer an e-nail; torch users value the portability and lower cost. See the E-Nails collection for the electric option.
      Use only premium refined butane rated 5x or higher, with 11x being the gold standard for dab torches. Cheap unrefined butane contains impurities like sulfur compounds, propellants, and oils that clog torch internals within weeks, weaken flame consistency, and leave a foul taste in concentrates if any residue carries into the banger. Brands like Newport Zero, Vector, Power 5x, and Whip-It! 9x are widely available and specifically refined for the smoking and culinary torch market. At Angies Boutique we stock multiple butane brands at our 838 N Broadway store in LA so customers can refill on the same trip they buy a torch. Refill by holding the torch upside down and pressing the can valve straight into the bottom port for 5-10 second bursts, letting the torch settle between refills to avoid overfilling. Let the torch warm to room temperature before lighting after a refill, since cold liquid butane produces erratic flame. Bleeding excess air from the torch every few refills using a small screwdriver in the fill valve maintains consistent flame quality. Properly maintained, a high-quality torch like a Blazer Big Buddy or Vector Nitro lasts 5+ years.
      Single flame torches produce one concentrated jet, ideal for precise heat application to a small quartz banger or for users who want maximum fuel efficiency. Dual flame torches produce two parallel jets that heat a wider area faster, useful for thicker quartz, larger bangers in the 25-30mm range, or users who want shorter heat-up cycles. Triple flame torches produce three jets in a triangle pattern for the widest, most even heating across large surfaces like flat-top bangers, ceramic dishes, or banger buckets above 30mm. More jets mean faster heat but also faster butane consumption, roughly doubling fuel use from single to triple jet. Single flame torches like the Blazer Big Buddy remain popular for solo dabbers because the fuel lasts longer per refill. Dual flame models like the Vector Nitro suit shared sessions. Triple flame torches like some Whip-It! models work for high-volume use or large rigs. Match torch size to your banger: oversized triple flame torches can overheat small bangers and chip them. Our 838 N Broadway team in Los Angeles can demo flame patterns side by side so you can pick the right match.
      Heat times depend on banger thickness, torch power, and target temperature. For standard 4mm thick quartz bangers using a single-flame torch, heat the bottom for 25-35 seconds, then let cool 35-50 seconds before dabbing. This produces a banger temperature around 500-550F, ideal for flavorful low-temp dabs that preserve terpenes. Thicker bangers (5-6mm) need 40-60 seconds of heat and 45-70 seconds of cooldown because thick quartz holds heat longer. Dual and triple flame torches cut heat times roughly in half. Many dabbers use a digital infrared thermometer or a timed heat-cool routine to nail consistent temperatures, since visual cues like glow color (red, orange, white) are unreliable. Heating until the banger glows red and dabbing immediately produces high-temp dabs at 800F+ that vaporize fast but burn off flavor and create harsh smoke. The sweet spot for most concentrates is the 480-560F range. Carb caps slow vaporization and let oil fully vape at lower temperatures. Browse our vaporizer accessories collection at Angies Boutique for carb caps, terp pearls, and quartz inserts that pair with your torch.
      No. The FAA and TSA prohibit butane torches in both carry-on and checked luggage, period. Butane fuel cannisters are also banned from all commercial flights. This applies to every brand: Blazer, Vector, Whip-It!, Newport Zero, all of them. Attempting to fly with a torch will result in confiscation at security. For travel, ship your torch ahead via ground freight or buy a replacement at your destination. Empty torches with no fuel residue are technically allowed by TSA on a case-by-case basis but enforcement is inconsistent, so the safe bet is leaving it home. If you need concentrate-friendly travel gear, electric e-rigs like the Puffco Peak Pro, Puffco Proxy, or other battery-powered options replace torches entirely and travel legally as personal electronics. Disposable lighters and a single standard Bic-type lighter are permitted in carry-on (one per passenger), but butane torch lighters are explicitly excluded under FAA rules. At our 838 N Broadway shop in Los Angeles we stock multiple e-rig options for traveling dabbers, and our staff can recommend the right device for your travel pattern.
