Dabbie, I believe they're most effective when used in a group setting.
(Then again, I paid up and bought a Volcano @ $600 when they were new and it just sits in a closet now.)
(Correction, it sits in my EX wife's closet now, lol)
I, like you don't find sparking a torch to be enough a pain in the butt to fret about it much.
VERY rarely do I find myself heating my (Ti domeless) nail hot enough to worry, although I did get DTFO and forgot I had the nail heating, so I inadvertently ran a whole canister of tane on the nail and heated the piece to breakage. *
(* Disclaimer, I break glass... my record is buying the piece, going into the store bathroom to fill it with water, then breaking it getting INTO my car in the parking lot, 30 seconds later, grand total of NONE hits achieved.)
Obviously, I don't buy Illidelph and anything ridiculous anymore.
Also, having eyes bigger than my lungs, AND COPD, dabbing makes for very interesting cough sessions.
(I learned the term 'hork' a lung dabbing)
Also, what the f**k happened to my tolerance since I started dabbing?
No one told me about that part, lol.
