I ordered another one, but in the meantime I picked up a MagHead at Menards. It worked great

When the new HH arrived, I dutifully hooked it up and torched. When I turned down the flame it would go out. I could not get the adjustment to hold a short flame without killing it.

So the HH is back in the glass cabinet and I'm back on the Mag Head. I can adjust it down to a very small flame without killing it. I work it with a bulk tank of proplyene and it's working very well for me. Your mileage may vary.
Wonderful to hear your story. Is proplyene the same as propane?

I work with a 5 gallon tank of propane. Could I use that with a MagHead? Where would I get the Maghead from?
