    ..or rather just assembled them from ordered parts. For anyone wondering, these torches are TOP quality. They have super clean knurling, very smooth threads, beautiful styling, and obviously, TONS of personalization options. In any case, here are the specs of my builds, as well as photos. Also I will include beam shot photos comparing all my torches.

    Parts used and other technical jargon:
