WTB a Boro torch - Suggestions Please!
I've used a Carlisle Mini CC since 2007, and I love it but I think I'm ready in the next year or so to upgrade to a boro torch. Some boro torches look so intimidating with all their bells and whistles. I've looked at them online for months now, and occasionally I check out the threads here, but never quite got the nerve to really delve deep into the topic. My questions are these, for you boro veterans out there:
1. Which torch is the easiest to work for someone who has extensive experience on only a 2 knob soft glass torch?
2. Likewise, which torch can I get that will allow me the option of using soft glass or boro glass at my whim?

You can work boro on your mini CC. Try it! Save the money for glass and upgrade later when your sure you want to work larger boro. I know someone that makes spoons and pendants on his mini cc.

You're the second person that's told me to give boro a try on the Mini CC. Maybe I will! I'd love to upgrade to a Hellcat or Wildcat.

Your mini-CC is fine for boro. All dual fuel torches work fine, just turn that torch flame up so it's nice and big and be patient.
