yes
Except that it needs a source of mains electricity ...
Which torch are you using with it ?
Precisely ,,,, although the Sublimox one is £45 .... which takes the cost well over £400. It's a good piece of kit but ....beekeeping on a budget it's not ...
If the normal heat of its operation melts its trigger, that looks like bad design or bad construction. Write to its suppliers complaining and pointing out the law about quality of goods offered for sale.
There's no trigger on my gas vap. It's purely an assembly of copper plumbing fittings which attach to a cooks blowlamp. I can only assume you mean the trigger on the blowlamp and try as I might I cannot visualise how you have managed to cause the trigger on the blowlamp to melt. If the blowlamp has been blowing back or leaking flame out of joints at the rear of the flame tube it should have been attended to long before damage occurred or the plastic parts became distorted and butane seals ruptured
. I turn the flame up or down to adjust temperature and haven't experienced any problems of control.
In fairness to the blowtorch manufacturers I doubt when they designed their torch they ever envisioned it being jury rigged up to some Heath Robinson sublimation apparatus
Actually... it works well once you have got the heat levels adjusted properly and it's not Heath Robinson - despite my initial reservations its not a bad bit of kit...
If you bought that from John he guarantees the torch for three years I think ?
Yes ... but 10 times the price ... difficult to justify the cost unless you have a good few colonies or an unlimited budget...It is significantly quicker than using the gasvap with a large quantity of hives. I have both, in fact I have a pan type as well.

Ahh ... must have changed or my mistake ...
