Yeah I have found it doesn’t give a nice pencil flame with the one I have, so had reservations about it when I started. I have found it to work fine and heat evenly though and the width of the flame when centred on the neck/shoulder junction covers the shoulder and most of the neck. I think it might actually heat more evenly the whole annealing area rather than focusing on one point and relying on the heat to transfer up the neck and down the shoulder... but in reality they all work.
