Torch, not flame thrower.

Vaporous propellant ignition is a torch, usually butane not propane as propane leaves residue on the glass, and burns differently.

Flame throwers are literally a pee stream of fuel that is ignited on the handle by the operator. There is only destructive use with flamethrower as well due to the lack of accurate control.
