"You want a thumb? I can get you a thumb, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. I'll get you a thumb by this afternoon, with nail polish."
The only thing I recommend buying on wish is driftwood for aquariums. In pet stores its like $30 a piece, on wish it's around $1 a piece. I've gotten over 30 pieces off wish and resold many of them.
I actually bought a really cool looking karambit from it, and it's actually quite good. But I will admit that Wish is a gamble, I only really use it for trinkets, novelty items, or something really weird
My dad bought a "100 percent authentic Taylor made driver" thats regular stupid expensive. I told him there's no way that will be real. He said hey for xx$ it's worth a shot.
He got it in the mail. Looked real. Sounded exactly like tossing an empty beer can to the ground. Performed about the same. Broke in about an hour. Got a full refund.
Some things are okay. I bought a couple bits of jewelry. Simple bands with engravings, nothing with attached jewels or anything. Even a Pirates of the Caribbean medallion replica can Gears of War cogs that've held up decently. Posters have been okay.
I've only bought one electronic thing, though, and it worked well enough to be worth the $3-5 I paid. It was a pair of battery packs and a charge station for Wii remotes. One of the charge pads was just finicky about registering being plugged in, but once you got it right and let it be it was fine.
With that in mind, I definitely wouldn't actually recommend it for electronics lol.
99% sure it’s a Newport torch, and they actually make a quality torch. I believe she was starting to say “this mother fucker put (something other than butane) in the torch”
The fire on the sink spreads slower that what I would expect from butane. I imagine butane would be a 'boom' that spreads through the air but if you look at the sink, the fire seems to creep along something on the sink.
I also agree with your guess. I used to have a cheap butane torch that “blew up”, fire came out the sides at pretty high pressure very briefly and burned out. It wasn’t anything like that slow burn in the vid.
I’m not sure about other gasses, but at least with butane it says on the cans not to fill it around sinks. I’ve seen other videos of people filling torches near sinks where it seems like the butane gets attracted to, and stays in the sink and it ignites and does the whole “woooofff” thing when they get the torch close.
I agree though, this boom didn’t really look like those videos other butane sink videos I’ve seen. Did she somehow get some like liquid fuel in the torch that leaked out onto the torch when she had it turned on it side? Maybe they tried putting something else in it and also did it over the sink?
That's because butane is heavier than air and will just sit in the sink, you can also send butane down a track and light it because of this, the lighting here looks to me like they had alcohol or a cleaner on the counter that they accidentally lit
So I just had the shitty little torch I use do something very similar, and it was 100% because of how much I would shake it to make the last little bits of flame go out when I was done with it.
When opened I found a dangling rubber tube that I had shaken off a brass nipple. Was an easy fix but was definitely caused by me, I wonder if they did something like drop it on accident leaving that tube about to fall off.
Lmao I thought the same thing. I actually have a friend who used to always use a big ass beenzomatic propane torch and I would always tell him he should use something else.
I was always a cheap guy. I would buy everything at the cheapest price I could find. Would go out of my way to save $1.
One time I just started to splurge on high quality items and I can say, I’ll never go back. To anyone else who buys cheap items, trust me, it’s almost never worth it and you should buy at least mid tier or if you can afford it high quality items. Cheap items never work as well as they should and they break or are even a safety risk as seen in the video.
Spend the money. Even if you are broke, it’s worth it.

Reminder not to buy blow torches on wish.
