Bob,
Nope. I use the same head for both propane and MAPP gas. It is a model by
Bernzomatic, the Bernzomatic
Sure Fire Torch Head. According to the description it is "Self-igniting,
Instant on/off switch. Push button trigger, Operates in any position." $35 at
Home Depot. And it has a dial where you can turn the gas on and off, as well as
a button so you can leave the flame on without hands if you need two hands.
According to the Bernzomatic web site:
Almost any project can be done quicker and easier by using MAPP gas instead of
Propane.
Here is a link on their web site that shows a comparison between MAPP Gas,
Propane and a few other gases:

Don't you need a different nozzle thingy for MAPP gas?
