Is there a k n o b for air intake to turn the jet down?
Dunno.
Here is a page that might help.

What the hell?? K N O B is censored?
Evidently, we're 5 year olds who can't handle words. Good grief. 

Changing the "flame size" does not seem to affect it.

Soft flame is just as good or better, depending on who you ask.

I've gotten a better light with torches, also have a lot of wind here so typical lighters get blown out really easily unless I light in my car. But since I drive a little two seater, the smell really gets into everything and at some point I would like to sell this thing.

Try a little compressed air to clean out the jets. I've had this problem before, and that usually fixes it for me.

Next time it's empty I will give that a try.

Thanks for all the replies guys. It caught me off guard, that's for sure.

My torches didn't want to work with crappy butane. I switched to a high grade butane and they work like a charm. Also bled the air out 

I bleed them of everything once it gets low enough to not light up anymore. It's usually just a hair of butane left in there and I let it all out until there is zero hissing.

They don't have to be empty to blow out the jets.

Mine has a flap that only pops open when I press the lighter button all the way down. I can't even get a pin between the flap and the lip of the lighter to pull it up so that I can blow it out.
