It's a bunch of pure bull****. There is NOTHING in that handle that can
store that amount of gas! There's only a tiny tube about 1/8" i.d. from
the canister needle to the valve.

Someone has created that vid through editing.


Yeah, has to be hacked. No torch head can store 15 seconds of gas
like that. I believe the burp, but not the long burn. Not at all.

Any chance he held the tank down so the torch head could flood with liquid
propane before removing the tank? Think how long a Bic lighter burns on a
couple of mL of liquid butane; this is a much bigger flame but I think it is
possible a small slug of liquid could explain it.
