When the liquid propane in the cylinder covers the hole in the top of the cylinder, the flame flares up and goes out; the cylinder will flame out since gas can no longer get through. A torch with more length and a bend in the neck would be beneficial.

How long will my propane tank last?
The length of time your propane tank will last is determined on the size of your torch and gas tank. Most of our hand held torch kits use a 20# propane cylinder, which can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on a variety of parameters including torch kit size, outdoor air temperature, and so on. The Mini DragonTM will run for 1-2 hours on a 1# cylinder. To get a usable flame, you don’t need to have your needle valve and propane tank wide open. This will make your blazing time last longer.
When should I flame my weeds?

Why do small torches lose their light?
1. Check for any debris, dirt, or lint that may be clogging or blocking the lighter’s operation. Even a small amount of debris might cause a lighter to malfunction. When inspecting for obstructions, use caution and keep your fingertips away from the igniter. Remove any obstructions you come across before attempting to light your lighter. Continue to the next stage in the process if the lighter still generates a hissing sound but does not light.
2. Check your lighter’s flame adjustment. A issue with a lighter that emits a hissing sound but does not light is usually a problem with flame adjustment. The force of the gasoline exiting can be too much for the striker to ignite if the adjustment is set too high. The rushing gasoline, in effect, “blows out the flame.” Check the flame adjuster to make sure it isn’t set too high; on a conventional butane lighter, the slide adjustment is under the metallic cover on the back. The adjuster is commonly found on the bottom of a jet lighter, such as the Jetline Triple Flame Pocket Torch Lighter. It is always represented by plus and minus symbols.
Is it possible to hang a propane tank backwards?
