Does this produce a "flame" like a candle (old school lighters) or the new fancy "torch" blast of blazing heat?

In between. You can't see the flame in bright sunlight, however you can hear it. That being said, this is still the best lighter you will ever own. No need to adjust the flame, refills easily and best of all it works with standard Zippo flints. The flame is both blue and orange.

Both!! When first lit it has the huge yellow flame which decreases to jet blu torch flame.. Wicked lighter!

I think a fire starter gives off sparks, correct? If that is the case, then no. It needs a flame to start. We use matches and it starts in a few seconds. Hope this helps.

You might be restarded. I use lighters all the time on shrink tubing and have have never lit them on fire. I don't allow the tip of the flame to touch the tubing...

Yes, it's not an electric pilot it uses flint spark system. It's similar to a cigarrette lighter.

No it doesn't, it takes the chill off of a room, the heat is not intense,the fake flames make a cozy atmosphere, its nice but not a strong heat source.

Yes. I like my unit, but find it pulls a lot of power when the heat is on. It hs a vert authentic looking flame.

They really are just like a real flame. They have a more subtle flicker. Yes, they are covered in a real wax covering. They are on timers and that's the best feature I think. They include two sets of batteries too!!

yes, very easy. 1) turn on, 2)place lighter on top grill. this will ignite it and if it is too bright out, you can feel the heat if you do not see the glow. hope this helps.

I cannot technically answer that, but I will tell you my five-year-old grandson took a barbeque lighter and tried to set it on fire in two spots. Thankfully, it only smoldered and made two holes (not all the way through) in the fabric, so I would guess it fortunately has some flame retardant.

Yes it does produce heat & the adjustable heat makes it nice if you are just wanting a small flame for ambiance... definitely nice and toasty when on high! The table itself stays cool however! Very nice!

It seems to light up with a blue flame but I guess you wouldcall it infrared. What happens is the blue flame quickly heatsup the 2 ceramic elements and then they glow red with heat.It's pretty neat. There is no blower.

I would say no. Your problem will be that the flame is a very precise, laser beam like flame. Extremely hot, and only being able to cover a very small area at a time.As well, this particular torch has not proven itself to be very reliable. My final assessment is to not purchase this torch.

The amount of warm air it blows is adjustable at four levels. I cannot recall the flame changing. We have enjoyed ours.

No, the wicks are completely different. The wick in the hand warmer is more like a ball of cotton that acts like a glowing ember. There's really no open flame you could use to light a candle.

It is a fake flame and it is not adjustable. Only the heat is adjustable and it is unrelated to the flame.
