I've been using this torch head occasionally for a year. I use it mostly to caramelize the sugar on creme brulee, scorch pepper skin, crisp up salmon skin, etc. While it eventually gets the job done, it's a real pain to use.

The main problem is that there is no pressure regulator, so that the flame constantly goes out when the head is pointed downward. I have to be very careful how much I tilt the head, but it always goes out eventually. I end up having to raise the food above the head to sear it properly. I'm really fed up with this torch and am ready to upgrade.

There are models like the Powercell, TS3000, TS4000 and TS7000 which can be used in any position because hey have a pressure regulator (as far as I understand). They also have self-ignition, so you don't have to hunt for your flame starter. The Powercell and TS7000 also allow you to control the output level better than on this pencil head.
