Thanks! The older lighter styles have really been catching my eye lately and this one is certainly a winner.?Looking good!
You just use the tip. The jet function only kicks in when tipped, otherwise it's just another liquid fuel lighter.too much flame length.
Oh, good to know. Thank youYou just use the tip. The jet function only kicks in when tipped, otherwise it's just another liquid fuel lighter.
Some think they're like a butane torch but the "jet" flame is little more than what you would get from a zippo with a long wick. The Beattie works on a changing pressure system and when tilted, blows the flame downward.Oh, good to know. Thank you
Perfect. Thank you again.Some think they're like a butane torch but the "jet" flame is little more than what you would get from a zippo with a long wick. The Beattie works on a changing pressure system and when tilted, blows the flame downward.
That's it. You have to tilt it to get the flame to heat the tube and then whoosh!?They are fascinating. Had one in the 60's.
IIRC, the little flame heats the tube, which then creates the "jet" flame. Yay or nay?
Got my eyes peeled for a brass one.?Love mine!! Got 2 and gave 1 to a fellow pipe smoker friend.View attachment 93379
