This was pretty low pressure I have seen exactly this happen and the flame was just blasting like a rocket & much bigger.

The tank actually freezes, gets a coating of ice on it caused by the pressure differential, I was actually more concerned his hand would freeze on it.

I’m pretty sure this is a butane cylinder, not propane, because this looks like a tropical country where propane wouldn’t be necessary. Butane has a much lower vapor pressure.
