No serious stoner collection is complete without a handy butane torch. It’s a necessity if you want to dab hash oil the proper way. But finding the best torch for dabs is no easy game. Your local head shop may have a good selection – or they may simply have a handful of defective torches selling for $30 each.

So where to start if you’re looking for the real thing? Here’s a review of our four favorite dabbing torches.

4. Newport Butane Torch

The Newport brand of dabbing torch comes in several different styles and carries a reasonable sticker price. Sizes range from 5.5 inches to 10 inches, and there are multiple design and color choices. The smaller torches will work with smaller rigs and smaller nails, but anything larger calls for a bigger item. The Newport Butane Torch allows you to adjust and lock the flame, and its stable base prevents the torch from tipping over while standing. Only about 1 ounce of fuel is required to fill this dabbing torch, and one fill should provide 30-40 minutes of solid burn time.

3. SToK FYR Atom Torch

The SToK FYR Atom dab torch features a trippy design and comes with standard features: adjustable flame with lock, removable stand, easy refill. It holds enough butane to fuel about 40 minutes of burn time. But what really sets this apart as one of the best dabbing torches is the price, less than $40 for a high-quality dabbing torch.

2. Bernzomatic TS8000 High Intensity Torch

This Bernzomatic torch for dabs may be the Cadillac of great dab torches. It uses propane rather than butane, so it’s a serious machine. You can attach it to most propane tanks or buy special High Intensity fuel canisters. It’s a tank of a torch, and the canisters last a long time. The adjustable flame can be locked, the ignite button is easy to use, and the torch is easy to refill. Bernzomatic torches are reliable and likely to work for years to come. They come in several styles, but the High Intensity may be the best for most dabbers.

1. Yo Dabba Dabba! Vector Butane Torch

This burner, arguably the best torch for dabs on the market, comes in two sizes. The Nitro, a modest-size torch, measures 5 inches by 2.4 inches by 7.25 inches and fills with less than an ounce of butane. A full tank provides up to 90 minutes of solid burn time. The Minitro, on the other hand, measures 3.7 inches by 1.3 inches by 6.3 inches and carries up to 0.35 ounces of butane. A full tank provides up to an hour of burn.
