I'm not trying to save gas. I throttle the flame back on my manual
torch in order to use it with the soldering tip and the flame spreader
to strip paint.

There are better tools for both those tasks. Heavy soldering should be
done with an electric iron or gun generally and the handheld IR paint
strippers or vacuum attached power sander type strippers are better.
