The Quick Verdict
Editor's Choice
A powerful adjustable butane jet torch lighter with a large fuel tank, child-safety lock, and continuous-flame lock. The best budget-friendly alternative to the Blazer GT8000 for heating dab rigs and DynaVaps.
What We Liked
- Adjustable jet flame up to 1200°C
- Large fuel tank lasts longer between refills than smaller torches
- Continuous-flame lock for hands-free heating
- Child-safety switch prevents accidental ignition
- Significantly cheaper than the Blazer GT8000
What Could Be Better
- Build quality isn't as refined as the Blazer GT8000
- Piezo ignition can be less reliable in cold weather
- Heavier than expected for its size
The Scorch Torch is the torch that proves you don't need to spend £50 on a Blazer GT8000 to get a reliable dab torch. At £14.99, it delivers an adjustable jet flame up to 1200°C, a continuous-flame lock for hands-free heating, and a fuel tank big enough for several sessions — all in a package that costs a third of the GT8000. It's not as refined, but for the price difference, the compromises are easy to accept. If you're using it with a DynaVap, our beginner's DynaVap guide covers exactly where to position the cap over the jet for an even heat.
Scorch vs Blazer GT8000
The Blazer GT8000 remains the gold standard — better build quality, more reliable ignition, and a proven track record with 2,845 Amazon UK ratings. But the Scorch Torch gets you 85% of the way there for 70% less money. The adjustable flame works well, the continuous-lock is genuinely useful for DynaVap heating, and the child-safety switch is a nice touch. The main compromises are in the ignition reliability (the piezo can be temperamental in cold weather) and the overall refinement. If you dab daily and want something that'll last years, get the Blazer. If you need a second torch or you're on a budget, the Scorch is an excellent choice.
