[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2530836, member: 116181"] Not just running out, but the draw rate on the bottle is better with a larger bottle. The liquid fuel in the bottle evaporates as pressure is reduced by drawing fuel, and that takes in heat - which is why the bottles get cold during use. Output is dependent on bottle ambient temp, amount of fuel in the bottle, and the rate at which it's being drawn. Colder temps or colder bottle is lower flow so colder flame. The smaller bottle it's harder to get consistency during and between batches, a larger tank would be more consistent. Basically would you rather take a drink after peeing in a cup of water, a bathtub of water, or a swimming pool of water? Taking out less means there's a whole lot more buffer capacity left to be uniform. There has also been discussion about changing to a swirl torch to get better adjustments of the flame, I'm pretty sure Greg still uses this style of torch and his Bench make: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/awesome-new-torches-for-my-annealer.173001/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.grainger.com/product/BERNZOMATIC-Swirl-Torch-Head-3ZJ25[/URL] [/QUOTE]
