easy to light, can dry them by rolling in your hair, the head bit will ignite pretty much anything, cheap, easily available, don't shower bits of plastic everywhere if you drop them on a fire,

Fair enough. Do you use normal matches or waterproof ones? (yes to all n00bs you can get waterproff matches.)
normal strike anywhere matches.
if i need to keep them dry, i dip the heads in candle wax. when i need to light them, i pick off a piece of the wax, and light it.(cheap waterproof matches).

they don't sell nichrome(at least on their website).Cool. I also have one of those torches hanging about, they are great! just slot in a disposable lighter, then you have a blowtorch! Maplin is one of my favourite shops, especially for pyro. "What?!? Maplin Electronics sells pyro?!?!" No, but they sell wire, nichrome wire, relays, swithes, and zippy boxes

As for running like heck? In time like that I take the lazy way and use my ATV, I leave it in 1st or second gear, light the fuse and hop back onto the quad and gun the throttle. I only do that for bigger items.

I've never tried a propane brazing torch with piezo ignition, but a lot of US pyros use them. They have a bigger, hot flame and a nice long neck and tank to extend the danger away from you. But I suspect lugging them around all night is more of a workout for the wrist.
Which is exactly why I use one. I use that mainly because of the larger hotter flame, the long neck and tank is an added benefit. The larger hotter flame helps when you have several smaller repeaters you want to light quickly that are all the same for a nicer broader effect. 10 96 shot color pearls looks pretty nice spread across a tennis court .
