Ultimately; go to the "TruTorch Laboratory" and check them out yourself. This is my best grammatical attempt at describing there differences at minimal.

Furthermore; we are talking subtleties here at there finest so bring along with you a GOOD EYE

  • []Ver. 01 - flame has a wider girth around the bulb. Flows up vertically and lasts longest before it traces out

    []Ver. 02 - girth is a bit less Ver01, thus not as wide flamage flowing up vertically and lasts bit less Ver01 before it traces out

    []Ver. 03 - Girth sparks/combusts outside of the bulb more. Bursts upwards vertically and traces out sooner than the first two. 3/4 length of flame to Ver01/02

    []Ver. 04 - Girth is same as Ver03 minus sparks/combustion. Fluffs w/ some bursting upwards vertically. Traces similar to Ver03. 3/4 length of flame to Ver01/02

    []Ver. 05 - Girth is same as Ver04. Rolls upwards tapering slightly to side. Traces out to side like breeze has influence over its elements. Just under Ver01/02 length
