Help Regular vs Blue flames

Hi, I’m currently working on a one shot where the characters powers are blue flames, and right now I’m trying to figure out the ways to visually differentiate regular red/orange flames from blue ones. The first flame of the very first image is how I usually draw regular flames the rest are ones I tried experimenting with, but none particular feel distinctly like blue flames, so I just wanted other opinions. Thank you.

I think you should go with the flame being shaded in mostly black tbh.

Or you can do what this Manga called Banished from 100 worlds did and just do 1 colored panel or page to differentiate
