A weak torch flame can be due to a few common issues. Firstly, check the fuel level—low fuel often results in a weak flame. Clean the nozzle, as debris can block gas flow. Inspect connections for leaks or loose fittings, ensuring the fuel flow is unobstructed. It's also worth checking the air vents; they should be open for optimal combustion. Finally, ensure your torch is compatible with the fuel type used, as mismatches can weaken the flame.
