I'm interested in building one of these. About how long does one of these cans last in one of these?
Also, would one of the basic use BernzOmatic Basic Use Pencil Flame Propane Torch Head work with one of these, or does it need to be one of the higher-intensity torches?

I like my orca torch very much... I upgraded from using a basic propane torch attachment (https://www.amazon.com/BernzOmatic-Basic-UL2317-Pencil-Propane/dp/B00008ZA0C/) on a regular small green propane tank.
Good hardware store might have one, any pluming supply store, online .

learn how to solder pipe. lots of Utubes out there, you don't need a fancy rig for homeowner stuff, this is good enough for homeowners.
Basically clean the fitting with a fitting cleaning brush, clean the pipe with plumber sandcloth, flux the inside of the fitting, the outside of the pipe, assemble, apply heat , when the flux stops boiling apply the solder to the opposite side of the heat and let it run around.
Don't over heat the fitting if the flux turns black you got it to hot, I usually move the flame around a little when heating the fitting.
If making up adapters solder them to the pipe ( short piece ) before screwing them to the valve.
Buy some extra pipe and fittings and practice, ells are pretty inexpensive, practice on them.
