Mirage Torch - GTT
Details
GTT's instructional DVD is now available to view at www.glasstorchtech.com and will no longer be included with torches.
The Mirage torch is a 2 stage torch that uses the powerful Lynx 7 Jet for the center fire and 2 rings of jets with a total of 33 jets for the outer fire. This completely surface mix torch uses the patented Triple Mix technology and 40 total jets to provide unparalleled power for all types of glass.
The Mirage is the one of the most popular of the 2 stage Triple Mix torches in the lineup. It is great for soft or hard glass with the ability to produce many flame types from a soft bushy flame to a hard driving flame. The flame chemistry that is achieved with the Triple Mix technology has a wide range including a fuel rich reduction flame, a neutral flame, an oxygen rich oxidizing flame, and an over-oxidizing flame. These flame types make any type, color or effect of glass easy to work and manipulate.
The Mirage comes standard with a 4 stud manifold that allows for the most flexibility for any setup to be run. The primary use is for a foot pedal to be used to turn the outer fire on and off with the outer fire valves preset to the desired setting. Also the 4 stud can make use of different oxygen sources such as a concentrator on the center fire and tanked oxygen on the outer fire. In this situation the fuel will "Y" together at the torch for simplicity. A foot pedal is NOT required for a 4 stud torch, the hoses can "Y" back together to use a single fuel source and a single oxygen source with the option to use a foot pedal in the future.
The Mirage comes with 1' of 3/16" hose and adaptors with filter screens to adapt to standard 1/4" ID grade "T" hose on each stud. The adaptors have a barb that the 1/4" ID grade "T" hose slides over and is clamped securely. The Mirage comes standard with a purple manifold, red, blue and green valve caps and rack and pinion adjustment. It is mounted on a powder coated base that has holes for securing the base to the work table. Also included are complete instructions and a cleaning kit.

Best two stage torch out there...Period!

Perhaps you are thinking of stepping up from a phantom, or lynx, or you want to buy your first torch that you will most likely never outgrow. The Mirage is it! To me this is the perfect 2 stage torch. I have ran a on a lynx, cheetah, Phantom, PM2D, and now the Mirage. This beast can rage anything from a laserbeam flame for thick solid work, to a large softer heatbase flame for thinner goblet work. I think the Mirage is a better flame than the Delta Elite, as there is not the huge flame gap between the lynx inner fire and the outer fire, like on the Delta. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing Torch!

Well worth the price. Able to handle tiny projects all the way to fairly large/ thick pieces. Pair this up with a nice foot pedal for maximum efficiency. Don't hesitate to buy, these torches aren't available long for a reason.

GTT Mirage
by 0015510 Joe Loving -
I run 2 of these in my studio daily. Its hard to think about using anything else. This torch can melt your face off! Or you can dial in the flame like a scalpel. I have the Mirage setup with and without a foot pedal. This is a true workhorse of a torch. You can melt very thick solid glass in no time, or melt full color lined tube pulls with ease. And still fall back onto the pin point inner fire of the lynx. Gets a bit hotter than the Phantom. So it opens your creative capabilities a little more.

N.1 Everyday torch
by 0047881 Mr. Lepage
Quality Torch with great precision.<br>I've used Herbert's, Carlisles, bethlahams, GTTs and pretty much every size from each company. <br>The GTT Mirage has to be my favourite though, for quick production or precision in more delicate pieces, this torch has great control and output. If you learn how to use a torch, I highly recommend going for the GTT Mirage. From big to small, it covers it all.
Perfect torch
by anonymous
1st torch I bought and learned on, and I doubt I'll ever outgrow it. I love mine so much that I bought a 2nd one so I'd never be without one.

“You’re covered!” This torch’s for you
by 0033979 Fired Worx - Steve Houtchings
I owned a Mirage for 5 years and run thousands of hours on it, once again Gtt with their superb quality and craftsmanship shines every time you fire this baby up. Lynx center fire gives super versatile flame control and out rings brings the fire when needed. As I said with the Delta elite, you are the limitation of this torch. Workhorse you can count on.
