    I know this question has been posted on the forum in the past, but I
    just can't get an adequate answer to my specific question. 

    I want to be able to ball up 18k wire and do some *simple*
    soldering. I also want a small, hand-held torch that isn't
    complicated to use, preferably with a SMALL tank (8" or less);
    possibly disposable. I'd be happy with one from the hardware store
    if it will get hot enough to work with 18k. 

    The simpler the better for my small home studio (in a wood frame
    house!) 

Thanks, everyone.
