Hey everyone. I am taking a lampworking class and enjoying it greatly, and I am currently toying with the idea of setting up a Carlisle Wildcat (2 valve) to a cheapo oxycon for some light to midrange boro work. I am not 100% knowledgable on all this yet, so I appologize if I say something impossible or stupid.

Can a oxycon fill up a 02 tank? It would be great if I could just get a big ass 02 tank, let a oxycon fill it up, then disconnect the oxycon from the tank, and connect the tank to the torch, lampwork away untill the tank runs out, then use the oxycon to fill it back up overnight.

I guess it would look something like this -
Oxycon --> backflow resistor --> O2 tank --> Oxygen regulator --> Torch

Anyway, sorry if this is a stupid question...thanks for the help.
