I am using this to solder sterling silver jewelry. If you are using this for the same purpose, I would recommend getting a smaller torch for small items like jump rings. I did melt one with this. You can only turn it down so much before it starts to sputter. I am using Vector 14X butane and it works great. Not sure on durability, yet. I have only used it for a few projects, but so far so good. Easy to light, fill and handle.
