Frequently Asked Questions:
How long to ship?
Due to the impact of Covid disruptions on our supply chain, we are currently running 5-7 business days to fulfill orders, and then it takes 1-5 days for transit. Shipments to West Coast are 1-2 days typically, and to the East Coast 4-5 days, just to give an idea. We appreciate your patience and thank you for your support!
Is signature required for delivery?
Not unless requested by email so we can add it to the shipping fee.
Is it made in China?
No! We make Halofire Torches right here in the U.S.A.!
Can I use liquid ethanol in Halofire torches?
No. Do not use liquid ethanol in Halofire torches. There is a danger in refueling while an invisible flame is still present. As always, use great care around flammable materials and liquids to keep yourself and those around you safe.
Does it ward off mosquitoes?
Yes. Our badass and beautiful dancing flame is highly effective in releasing citronella. Use Halofire Torch Fuel - Citronella Bend.
What's the difference between Vortek and Halo Torch?
Vortek has its own fuel cup integrated and the glass mounts using our proprietary soft pressure bezel system. It's easier to refuel and change/trim the wick. The Halo Torch is a simpler design using the Halo Head and our torch pole that requires a BLACK 12oz refillable fuel canister (sold separately because some folks already own these). Also, the glass mounts with small screws instead of slipping in and out which causes it to take a little more time to refuel.
Is the wick included?
Yes. Our wick has been procured for the best experience overall and guarantees the best performance of your Halofire torches.
What else do I need to buy?
For the tall tiki torches, you will need to purchase a stake or stand depending on where you want to put them - regardless of the model. You will also need fuel. UNLESS YOU BUY THE BUNDLE - it comes with everything!
How long does Vortek run?
Up to 3 1/2 hours depending on weather/wind conditions and whether or not you use the provided spinner. The flame will start out large and taper off after a couple of hours when the fuel gets low.
How long does BIG Revo run?
Up to 1 1/2 hours depending on weather/wind conditions and whether or not you use the spinner/trimmer combination to suppress the flame. The BIG Revo Table Torch model will last up to 5 hours when used with the Gator Fuel Bowl
Can I use the Gator Bowl on the tall tiki version?
Not yet. We are in development on a sturdy base that can handle the weight of that much fuel.
How long does Halo Torch run?
Up to 2 1/2 hours depending on weather/wind conditions and whether or not you use the provide spinner.
How long does Revo run?
Up to 1 hour using Halofire GEL depending on weather/wind conditions and whether you use the provided burn booster and spinner. When you purchase the Gator Bowl OIL conversion kit, Revo can run up to 5 hours on OIL.
What do these torches use as fuel?
Halofire Torch Fuels. We cannot guarantee the performance of our torches when using any other fuel. Regular torch fuels burn very dirty and leave a lot of soot on the glass.
What fuel should I use for Vortek and Halo?
Halofire OIL available for sale on our website
What fuel should I use for Revo?
Halofire GEL available for sale on our website.
Does the glass get sooty?
When using Halofire fuel there will be a bit of soot at the top rim line of the glass and it's easy to wipe off with a dry cloth or paper towel. PRO TIP - to clean, just flip the glass around in the head and wipe upwards with a paper towel. If you use other torch fuels, the glass will get black and sooty from top to bottom within a few minutes and block the visual of the flame.
Will the glass break easy?
No. It's toughened glass and not easily broken, but if it does it will shatter in to hundreds of small pieces. Its also dishwasher safe.
Will the wind blow it out?
No. Unlike tiki torches, Halo Fire is made to withstand strong breezes. It catches the wind and spins even faster.
Can I install the Wall Mount version on a wood post?
Check with your local safety codes for best practices and limitations on fire features/torches. We strongly suggest you do not attach or mount close to anything that can easily catch fire such as untreated wood fencing etc.
Can I use under an eave on my house?
Check with your local safety codes for best practices and limitations on fire features/torches. We strongly suggest you do not attach or mount close to anything that can easily catch fire such as untreated wood fencing etc. Also, make sure that there is at least 5 feet of overhead clearance in any situation and that there is 5 feet of clearance (combustibles) around the flame.
