All three parts when assembled.

Put copper wire inside antena pipe with same diameter. I grinded it a little to be able to fit inside. At the other end put steel wire with same diameter.

How to Use

Use it with candle.
Put the flame only to copper.
Clean copper part for best effect.
I use it for years, becouse of easy conceilability and travel sizes.
It works great, heats fast - in about 15 sec.
Its usable with other sources of flame like alcohol.
I have made upgrade to electric for stationary use - just one old fuse(ceramic) and heater wire (cantal) from old water heater. Only 24 volts, becouse of open wires.
