Anyone who can show the difference (with photos) between a hellfire, dragon soul, NY Knicks, and an Indo Gold? TIA.

Also, are there any unique colors on torches besides the ones found on a dragon soul, a holy grail and a joker?

a lot of it is subjective but a dragon soul is usually purple with green tips like this

a hellfire is more gold with whiteish tips (sometimes green highlights/a green mouth)

NY Knicks is very similar to a hellfire except they tend to be a bit more orange then yellow and have a green mouth and blue tips

indo golds are very yellow with either blue/purple tips.

24k Golds (generally Aussie) are very deep yellow/orange or yellow/green but are super bright and have almost no purple running through them with not quite as long tentacles with blue or purple tips

but tbh most of the naming is just BS to get more money for it. Really comes down to whatever you think looks unique and cool and fits your budget.

In terms of other ones that are unique, I just got this one (will be here tomorrow so I will update with my actual picture) that seemed unique with the blue colors I haven't really seen to much of.

avery popular and well known company is selling a torch just called teal tipped. it is purplish gold tentacles with green mouth and teal tips. Does that sound like a NY KNicks, maybe mislabeled? They also have one they are calling teal tips but tips look more whitish. It almost all gold with whitish tips and about half of the mouth is green! It has such gold tentacles though! I am sure they all cam in from the same lot! I just wish the one that had more gold had tip more teals! Kind of crazy how half the mouth is green while other is blue LOL I cant decide! I also have a credit there too but one is being auctioned so I have to pay cash but no sipping since I have an order coming in already! To make it harder to decide the one I have to pay cash for is cheaper but I also saw it auction for much cheaper and when I went to bid my computer frooze! Uggh!

Heres my green torch. Sometimes called metallic green torch. It have a green tentacle with blue/green/yellowish tip (depending on the light)
Its not as expensive not as highly sought out of a torch which makes it a little uncommon.
Super hardy, my torch survived a 2 week blackout (after a storm) with just an airpump.
