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.

Seriously, this is the Last torch you will ever buy. The triple mix allows the heat to penetrate deep into the glass. Very quite. Very reliable. A must have

Total game changer

I recently bought a mirage and didn't know what to expect going from a bethlehem to it. I have had the luxury to test several other torches through friends.. herbert arnold 40 and 50mm version, carlisle cc and cc+, bethelehem bravo and champion also. I have owned a bravo for 4 years. Everyone kept telling me to get a mirage, so i finally listened. Hands down this torch has a more unique flame then any of them. You have the abilitiy to achieve the same lil pinpoint a herbie can and its just as hot and precise. I thought maybe I would have issues surface working fume with this because of the excessive oxygen compared to my prior torch, yet i have had no issues what so ever. These torches are definetly built for someone who can handle the heat. Melt in times are insanely fast, even when working on a more dense solid colored tubing. All in all they are the most versatile torch I have had the chance to use and I wouldn't hesitate if youre thinking of getting one.

Using The Force Through Your Very Own Lightsaber

After spending 3 years with my GTT Mirage I decided it was time to write an honest review. This torch is like Yoda's lightsaber. My connection with the flame it produces as it flows over my glass like a waterfall of consistent and powerful heat gives me complete control over my experience in my studio. Yet, it creates something more powerful than any standard tool in my shop. It is the lungs, the heart beat, and the soul of my studio. As I become one with my lightsaber my connection to my flow state grows. The relationship I have with this torch fuels the fire inside of me, and through complete unification the creativity inside of me escapes my body and manifests into physical glass creations. This torch is powerful, intuitive, and beautiful. I highly recommend beginning your relationship with a GTT Mirage today.
GREAT TORCH!

percision of lynx is like no other, and the outer ring eats though glass... This torch is HOT! hook it up to a foot petal and enjoy the cadillac of glass torches... everything from pinpoint needle flames to large driving flames, perfect for cook-ins.

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.
