Shop aLeaf Turbo Torches: Precision Heating Hardware in Canada
aLeaf Glass manufactures high-output butane hardware engineered for consistent thermal application and quartz maintenance. Our catalog features the complete range of "Turbo" nozzle torches, capable of reaching stable temperatures of 1300°C (2372°F). For users requiring maximum portability, the 3.5" Turbo Torch provides a focused flame in a compact chassis. For frequent daily use, the standard 5" Turbo Torch or the reinforced 5" Brass Series offer superior nozzle heat dissipation. For high-mass quartz nails like terp slurpers, we stock the 7" Mega Torch which features an expanded fuel reservoir for extended heating cycles. All orders over $49 qualify for free expedited shipping across Canada. Jump to our Technical Guide ↓

aLeaf Butane Torches: Buyer's Guide & Thermal Specs
aLeaf Glass engineers high-output butane hardware designed for precision thermal application. As an authorized Canadian retailer, Smoke & Vape provides this technical analysis to assist you in selecting the correct BTU output for your specific quartz hardware. This guide defines the performance differences between the models to ensure you purchase the right tool for your thermal requirements.
1. Selection Matrix: Matching Torch to Quartz
The most common purchasing error is buying a torch that is underpowered for the size of the quartz banger. Large surface area nails require higher BTU output to heat evenly without timing out. Consult the matrix below to find your optimal setup.
| Hardware Model | Tank Capacity | Recommended Application | Buying Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5" Turbo Torch | Low (Portable) | Small 10mm Quartz / Nectar Collectors | Buy for travel, not daily home use |
| 5" Turbo Torch | Medium (Standard) | Standard 14mm Flat Top Buckets | The "Standard" choice for most users |
| 5" Brass Series | Medium (Standard) | High-Frequency Daily Use | Worth the upgrade for durability |
| 7" Mega Torch | High (Extended) | Terp Slurpers / Control Towers | Required for large quartz nails |
2. Why Choose the "Brass" Nozzle Upgrade?
The 5" Brass Series is visually similar to the standard model but features a heavy-duty brass nozzle assembly. Standard ceramic or steel nozzles can retain heat for long periods, which stresses the ignition wire over time. Brass offers superior thermal conductivity. This means it dissipates heat faster after the flame is extinguished, protecting the internal piezo mechanism. If you use your torch multiple times per day, the Brass model offers a significantly longer service life.
3. Fuel Efficiency and Tank Sizing
The primary operational difference between the models is how often you will need to refill them. The 3.5" Torch is ultra-portable but may require refilling after every few heavy heating cycles. Conversely, the 7" Torch features a massive reservoir designed for extended uptime. This is critical for heating large nails like blenders or slurpers, where running out of fuel mid-heat ruins the temperature curve.
4. Safety Standards & Shipping
Safety is paramount when handling pressurized butane systems. All aLeaf torches feature a child-resistant safety lock and a wide, stable base to prevent accidental tipping during the cooling phase. Important Shipping Note: To comply with Canadian Transport Canada regulations, all torches are shipped empty and depressurized. You must purchase premium refined butane separately to fill the unit upon arrival.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which torch is best for a Terp Slurper or Control Tower?
We strictly recommend the 7" Mega Torch for these nails. Terp Slurpers have a much larger surface area (dish + cylinder) than standard buckets. A smaller torch will take too long to heat the entire quartz mass, leading to uneven heat distribution. The high BTU output of the 7" model ensures the entire nail reaches temperature quickly and evenly.
Is the Brass nozzle worth the extra cost?
If you are a daily user, yes. The Brass Torch is engineered for durability. The brass nozzle cools down faster than standard steel, which protects the ignition system and extending the lifespan of the torch compared to standard models.
Can I adjust the flame size on these torches?
Yes. All aLeaf models feature a gas flow adjustment dial. This allows you to fine-tune the flame length. You can use a low setting for gentle heating (cold starts) or the maximum setting for cleaning your quartz. This versatility makes them suitable for everything from small 10mm bangers to large thermal buckets.
Do these work with any brand of butane?
While they fit standard butane canisters, we strongly recommend using 5x Refined (or higher) butane. Cheap butane from hardware stores often contains oil impurities. These impurities can clog the high-precision "Turbo" nozzle over time, causing the flame to sputter or fail. Using premium fuel is the best way to protect your investment.
