Lighter of multiple torch flames

Abstract

A lighter of multiple torch flames comprises a nozzle and vaporizer assembly that includes a vaporizer, a mixing chamber, and at least two burner nozzle channels generally in V-orientation. The vaporizer has at least one central opening and a filter below the opening, thereby generating a burst of clean vaporized combustible gas to pass through a path toward the burner nozzle channels. The mixing chamber has at least one air inlet where the combustible gas is mixed with fresh air. The nozzle channels have a joint point within a stabilizing chamber of a diameter smaller than that of the path, thereby directing the few combustible gas to diversion channels to form a ring of surrounding flames and most toward the nozzle channels to form at least two forceful and distinct torch flames in straight column shape when being ignited.
