It probably can melt a penny.
If you hold it on the penny long enough that is... |

I don't think that it could melt a penny.

I'm a smoker and I wouldn't go near such a thing. Besides, why would someone want something that potentially disasterous?

Yeah. "Let's go outside and light a smoke with our 2,500 degree torches! Haha! What fun!"

^ I'm a little off topic (okay, fine a lot), but I like you. =)
You don't need that much energy to melt a penny, yano. Zinc melts around 420ºC. Use a Bunsen burner, if you're that bored. -_- |

It sounds fake to me, but it's possible to be true though.

Why would you melt a penny?
Deposit every penny you find/own into your piggy bank. Trust me on this. It adds up after a while. People will say anything to sell. |

:O I didn't even know fire could hit 2500 degrees Fahrenheit! That's like.. 10x the temperature of boiling point.
It seems interesting, but I don't really believe in it. And the fact that it's a blue flame.. There could be a certain chemical in it making it appear blue. We tried it in chemistry! :D Potassium makes pink fire ![]() |

Yeah, do you really need to light a cigarette with a 2,500 degree lighter?
Sounds like something that arsonist in the high school down the street would want though.. ![]() |
