Every torch here runs on butane, and none of them depends on your rig's joint. The bangers do, and the Fit Index sorts those by joint.
Height
The torches here run from 3.5 in to 7 in tall. Height is the plainest difference between them: the 3.5 in ones are the smallest, and the 6 in, 6.5 in and 7 in torches are the full-size end. Maven's own page lists the K2 at 8.7 oz.
Flame
Listings call the flame jet or turbo, and say whether it's adjustable, meaning there's a dial or lever to turn it up or down. Most torches here are adjustable by their listings: the aLeaf Mini Turbo, Jet, Aero, Brass and Supernova, and both Maven Alpha+ packs. Maven's own page gives the K2 a single jet flame that adjusts.
Ignition
The listings that name the igniter say piezo, except the aLeaf Mini, which lists spark ignition. The 7 in aLeaf Turbo's piezo is trigger-style.
Fuel and refills
All of them refill with butane. Some come without it: the listings for the aLeaf Aero, Brass, Supernova and 7 in Turbo say the butane is sold separately or not included.
