Ive only had medium success using it. I played around with the temp.settings but never quite found a sweet spot. one.that was hot enough to hit but not too hot. The spice i would put in a tiny foil packet just small enough to fit.inside.the bottom of the solo and i crimped the end loosely... if you find away that works good with it please.share.the main reason i was trying to use this was i didnt eant to deal with a torch and hot pipe while blasting off.
