Why not make it just, basically, like a ranged ignitor? No explosion, no long-lasting flame or superheated air, just a throwable item that causes a small fire on the tile it hits for a couple seconds. You could activate thermite at range, or blow up a tank of weldingfuel people were stupid enough to congregate by. I know fire damage is pretty pro, but without the additional brute and/or toxin damage you usually incur from explosions and plasma fires, I'd imagine you'd have a good chance of putting it out before you drop into deep red.
