Torch vs. Soft Flame

[shibby4781]

Hi All! I'm wondering what the difference is? Actually, I know the fundamental difference. So why would someone choose one over the other? I'm in the market for a second lighter. I have been using a single flame torch but when that runs out and I don't feel like refilling right then and there I break out the trusty old Bic. I personally cannot tell a difference in the smoke either way.
