      There's something about that sound right Dave. The smell the sound. Everything about it just takes you back. I only have one memory of Coleman lanterns as a child. My grandfather and Iowa took me bullhead fishing in the middle of the night. And I remember showing up and there must have been 50 lanterns glowing up and down along the river banks. He lit that coleman and lantern and it was just amazing to me .

    I love channels like this. Reminds me of when UA-cam was still pure and user driven instead of it's current corporate state.
    Channels like these are for the people by the people.
    I'm w history buff, so this is right up ny alley.
    I recently found a guy that's really into old lighters. Now I've found you as well.
    I bet you've got some models that Coleman doesn't even have in their archives.

    Haha! That's about as good as I EVER lit one without preheating. Well done, Sir! If memory serves the mantles we were getting through supply were "Sun Flame" brand? A good old throrium rich Coleman mantle were what I kept in the storage tube. Since the half-life of thorium is 14 BILLION years, it's worth finding the old ones. Like the Blend Tech guy says, "Don't breathe this stuff!"
    Steve, you should get one of those TS-8000 torches with the adjustable flame knob on the back. Supposedly 8k btu on high but you can get them down to a less than a candle flame and lock it on. I have a 4000 and 8000 and rarely use the 4000. Highly recommended.

    • @doinsngoins
      @doinsngoins  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks, Mike. I will look into that Torch model and get one right away. I agree, I I need to gently apply heat without blowing a hole, with my big torch. I did look up a couple forums. And without the thorium mantles, the 21 a is one that is highly recommended. It did make a huge difference than the Walmart Coleman mantle that I put on there for testing.

      @@doinsngoins Sure, use what's cheap and available for testing. As long they're bright and not over burning through the mantle, go with what works. I was getting some really good ones a few years ago made in the Philippines. The brand escapes me, but they were bright and durable. Then they changed the recipe and quality went south. Not sure if they ever got better or not. Ah, Peerless was the brand. Haha!
