And the problem wasn't the torch itself, but the hose melted. So, yeah, the torch got too hot all the way down. Not supposed to happen, according to the lady at Hot Head Source.
Several scenarios...

IT could have been a failure at torch connection, it leaked and produced a flame and burnt hose off...

I could have been a defective hose and blown hose off torch connector and caught fire...

Would have to actually see pictures of hose and torch to tell what happened....

Maybe its time to graduate to oxy/fuel torch....
