Furthermore, while using tungsten instead of gas would be beneficial, there is a risk that the surface could melt.
It uses a tungsten element as a pre-heater to ignite the gas, but the gas injection nozzle cannot handle a high volume of gas, resulting in low output.
your better on using the tung as the heater
Since this is a gas-based ignition device I developed myself, the heat output is incredibly weak... Sorry about that!
