FAQ

Flamethrowers are legal federally in the United States. For more details, visit our FAQ page.
The ARC runs on standard gasoline — available at any gas station. That’s all most owners need.
Some users (typically firefighters and forestry operators) mix in up to 50% diesel to slow the burn — diesel is oilier and clings to surfaces better. For everyday clearing, weed control, and pest control work, gasoline alone is the simplest fuel.
Note: the ARC is not napalm-compatible. The ARC uses a fuel-pump-driven delivery system, which can’t run thickened fuels. If napalm capability is important to you, look at our X15 or XL18 — both use a CO2-propellant design and are napalm-compatible.
Free UPS Ground shipping on all Throwflame flamethrowers. In-stock units ship the same or next business day from our facility in Cleveland, Ohio, with most U.S. deliveries arriving in 1–5 business days. Tracking is emailed when the order ships.
The ARC is powered by a custom 12V lithium-ion battery pack that drives both the electric arc ignition and the high-pressure fuel pump.
Two pack options are available:
- Standard ARC Battery Pack: 5,000 mAh
- Pro ARC Battery Pack: 7,000 mAh — extended runtime for longer jobs
Why lithium-ion (and not LiPo):
Some competitor flamethrowers run on off-the-shelf lithium-polymer (LiPo) packs rated around 2,000 mAh — the same battery type found in RC toys. We engineered a custom lithium-ion pack specifically for the ARC because it delivers:
- 2× to 3× the capacity of the typical competitor LiPo (5,000–7,000 mAh vs ~2,000 mAh) — significantly more trigger time per charge
- Longer cycle life — many more recharges over the battery’s usable lifetime
- Safer cell chemistry — lithium-ion is more thermally stable than LiPo formulations designed for hobbyist applications

My honest thoughts of having the Arc Flamethrower for a month so far has been fun. Used it to melt light snow and ice, started a bonfire with it, showed it off to a few friends. It was entertaining for sure! I do like how compact and modular it is, and the the weight is not that bad with gas filled in the reservoir.

Get the backpack tank. You’ll need it! 🙂
John H. (verified owner) –
Kicking myself for not getting the chainsaw grip. I ordered an extra regular grip. I have it mounted on the top rail upside-down. Still works good! Just a fantastic product! Unbelievably stoked!

Awesome right out of the box, bought it for my old son and he had a blast with it.

I told my friends that you have to grow old but you dont have to grow up.

The unit alone is NICE; well-built, high-tech piece of kit, with a decent reach, & burn time. It’s sleek, & has a “feel” to it. Thought went into its design & execution…it LOOKS good. Fun for starting the bonfires by itself, but it’s actually GREAT for controlled burns with the backpack. Between this & the chickens, even the dog didn’t catch a tick this year. It’s definitely function over form with the backpack, as attention could be given to comfort/ease of wear, but you’re not going on a hike with the thing, so the 45 minutes or so it takes to clear a hillside isn’t giving you blisters, & it’s off several times for refueling in the mix. Great unit, I give it a solid 10/10. My third flamethrower (2nd electric), & without hesitation I can say that it is the best by far.

Perfect flamethrower for firearms enthusiasts! It has a solid one piece body with a lot of rail space and fully accesorizeable to your hearts desire.
