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.

You can already do something somewhat similar to your suggestion if you take the time to modify one of the igniters on the station.
