DuPont Defi Extreme for Pipes?

St Dupont makes excellent lighters, I have one for my cigars. Even thought it is a single flame torch lighter, it is still too much flame/heat for a pipe. Unless you are smoking cobs and don't care about burning the shit out of it.

I would avoid buying a Dupont lighter on eBay. The only way to know it's legit is buying from an authorized retailer. 8O

I used a Dupont Xtend for a long time some years ago and was happy with it (used $20 torch lighters prior.) My situation changed and I smoke indoors now so I only use it for cigars. I think everyone who instantly balks at the idea of using a torch to light a pipe are a bit closed minded, but I understand where they're coming from. Rim (briar) burn, the #1 balk, is nonexistent unless you're blind drunk. In fact, I really enjoyed the exact nature of the flame and excessive heat can be prevented with technique (see Frank Method on Youtube.)
The biggest hindrance with my Dupont torch, which is not really a big deal, is that it has a ball in it that prevents it from being lit while upside down (pocket safety if I remember), so you have to press the button down just a bit before inverting it (or simply fire it before inverting) which prevents the ball from locking it up. I really need to get one of my Line 2 Duponts converted to a pipe burner, but I don't trust the Dupont authorized repair facility after a bad experience with a vintage one.
