You don't necessarily have to use a torch a lighter or even a stove that still has the flame um propane stove?? Haha I can't remmeber what they are called but any flame would work
A even better way to put holes in nylon is to use a thin soldering iron. You can get them ultra cheap. They maintain a consistent heat and you just slide them in and slide them out and presto, you have a hole without having to heat up a nail with a torch.

Don't know about you, but I don't like holding a small lighter that long, because the "flick" part of it can get pretty darn hot.
I would expect that the lighter wouldn't give the best heat to heat the nail up with.
I lit a candle, held a long nail over it and used that to make extra holes in a nylon halter. I didn't want to hold a lighter that long (it gets hot!), but the candle worked well.
I've always just taken a nail, held it with pliers, then allowed the nail to heat up over a regular electric stove element set to high. Wait until it's red hot, then puch your holes as desired.
Soldering iron sounds easier though
