Here's a proven portable jewelers torch that doesn't require an oxygen tank or a bulky gas regulator. The EZ torch, also called the ORCA torch, is an atmospheric torch that works without bottled oxygen, drawing the necessary oxygen from the surrounding air. It also does without the expense of a typical propane gas regulator, instead using precision valves designed to fit either a disposable propane tank or the basic refillable (BBQ type) propane tank. The EZ atmo torch is easy to travel with, as a gas source can usually be obtained at your destination. All you need is a propane fuel source to do basic soldering jobs for jewelry work of all kinds.
The EZ torch is a great idea for jewelers that want a basic soldering torch without the expense of buying expensive tanks and gauges. The Easy torch is a high precision instrument intended for use as a general purpose soldering and annealing torch. Operation temperature is 2000oF (1093oC) to 2400oF (1315oC).

Learning curve to learn to light and adjust air but after that works fantastic
Love this little torch, easy and self explanatory. Great travel companion.
This is one of the best economical torches that you could buy if you’re on a budget. It comes with three different tips. These tips have a small, medium, large. I use my small tip for all my soldering jobs…You can control the flame and you can actually control how much oxygen with the adjustable nozzle that is on the torch. This allows you to reduce your flame to a low heat or a higher heat. I’ve never used the medium tip, but the large tip is fabulous for melting your silver quickly in an ingot or a seasoned crucible. You can also season your own crucibles with the large tip. I truly believe this is a better way to solder your jewelry than trying to use crème brûlée torches, or I can’t remember the other names sorry… but this is a great torch and an affordable price and it’ll help you to not melt your silver because you can control the flame in the heat… I hope this makes since. But I do recommend you investing in a torch that does require gas tank and oxygen tank, when you can afford one. Until then you will be very happy with this orca torch.. If you have restrictions using gas tanks in your home or studio, I recommend that you get the attachment for the small propane tank and not the one that you actually use for your barbecuing. if you don’t have any restrictions, then I suggest you get the big larger attachment and you save money on propane with the larger tank… I really hope this helps you out when deciding if you would like to buy this or torch!
It’s a great torch… I can use it on the if I need to melt my silver, I switch it out with the largest tip and tell ya it gets that silver molting, hot and ready to pour… check your restrictions if you’re leasing a shop. I would recommend getting the smaller adapter that will fit any of the 14 ounce canisters propane instead of getting the one that fits the huge propane tank for barbecues….
A most welcome addition to my bench. A single tank high pressure system. It allows finger tip adjustments to both gas flow and air Venturi while working. Can easily dial back to a reducing flame when desired. Ergonomics are satisfactory, but the Venturi ring can get warm. Quicker start up and shut down than my 2 tank system. I bought the disposable tank system. Quality of construction appears good, but only time will tell. My only criticism is that I would prefer a more supple hose.
