Hi, I bought a mag torch at a Menards in Minnesota, I don't know the number on the torch but I bought mine for $13.95 !! It said on the package that it would work with either mapp pro/ propane. It looked just like a Hot head. I've been making beads with this torch for well over 3 months and it works beautifully!!! I had a hot head torch when I first started out and it was shooting flames, and acting stupid after I had only used it for a couple of weeks. I bought an extra one of these mag torches to keep as a spare and I hooked that up one day and had all sorts of problems with it, I couldn't get a decent flame with it, just a solid turquoise flame. I returned it to the store and they exchanged it. Sometimes you don't get what you pay for, sometimes you do. The beads I've made with the mag torch I've had no problems with them cracking, no problems with color and I've even been able to pop some fairly decent color with gaffer chalcedony 109. So go for it !! happy torching!
