I ordered this flexhead torch, just the head, about 2 months ago...the tracking was horrendous and I will most likely never buy another product from the company again. It was off Amazon.
So, here's my question...lately there's a number of Wuhan torch heads that claim to get 250 amps on a 26. But CK Worldwide only claim their 26 torches get 200 amps. Also, HTP America has a Wuhan torch head for about the same price ($12-$13), which I was tempted to get and maybe I should have, but they claim 200 amps also...I could have gotten it in a few days.
Can a Chinese torch head really get an extra 50 amps, or is this just wishful thinking and they most likely get 200 amps, or can reliably run 200 amps for extended periods of time. I know there are people here (hi cj) that claim to get 200 amps out of their CK Worldwide 17 torches, and I do think it's probably possible. But what about these Chinesium torches, fact or fiction?

The real reason I bought it was that I had another Chinesium torch head on my Everlast 26 torch, but it was only purported to get 200 amps, and the real problem was the insulator wouldn't stay on the front properly. While I mostly use it for tacking I wanted a torch that would be able to handle the 225 amps my Primeweld puts out. Again, fact or fiction? What do you think?
