Len,
Wider is better, thicker is better, at least IMHO (gives you a better target)... Holding the vials or tubes in place is a bit if a challenge if you don't have right tools. Resist the temptation to pick up pieces until they sit for a LONG time. You will burn yourself sooner or later. It helps to find some lampworking materials - check out Hobby Lobby for that too.
Be careful.
