First things first, this item does not come with butane fuel so plan on buying some separately to be able to use it. Once filled up I had no issues with operation. The torch is pretty large at almost 8 inches, and set to high will create a flame about five inches long. It definitely gives off a Star Wars lightsaber vibe and the red flame is a novel touch. It’s not very practical for productivity purposes (almost any other torch would be easier to use for work) but as a conversation piece it’s pretty fun.

It works just turn gas down all the way and put butane in oh and blacklight works

Had this for two days and its paint decal is peeling off. It’s still cool a pretty lighter and show piece for friends and family.
