A torch is on my list of tools to buy.. I wanted one for another purpose
anyway, so if I can solder PCBs/components with a flame it's even better..
(do I use the flame itself or buy a metal tip for the end of it like an
electric iron ??)

I've seen some that use triple distilled butane or something.. are they any
better than your average pencil torch that uses regular butane ? For that
matter is there a lot of difference between propane (disposable cyenders
with a torch screwed onto the top) and butane torches ?
