I am looking for the experiences of other Scorpion Torch users.
If you are not using a Scorpion, I am asking that you refrain
from posting.
I have a scorpion that is running on a regalia.
I am having an anoying problem with it.
I get a build up of little embers (carbon) on
the inner ring of flames (the cricket).
I only get this when both rings of flames are burning.
I have tried every combination of settings on my propane
and oxycon. I called GTT and told them about this,
they said it should not happen, & I should dial back
my regalia to 8 or 9. They thought my torch was
outrunning my oxycon, and I was having a purity
issue.
I did that. I still get embers, maybe a
few less, but still get them. I clean the torch
before every use, and the embers start after about 20-30 min of
use. I run a hot flame, for boro. I clean the torch 2 or 3 times
in a 3-4 hour torch session.
The torch that I had before this was a Lynx, and I never, ever got this
result with it.
This has been happening since I got it.
If I run the cricket part, the inner flame, alone it does not happen.
I am thinking that my regalia is not enough pressure for both flames.
I am thinking that I need another regalia ( Ugh $ ) to make
this torch run properly.
I need to know if I am alone in this, anyone else out there
with same results?
What do you run your scorpion with, and what are your results.
My best results come with regalia set at 9 and propane at 5.
Could it be that I have a scorpion with something wrong with it?
Of course it doesn't carbon up if you don't put any glass
in front of it, so if I send it to them, I don't know how they
will test it, I doubt they will sit down and make some pendants
with it.
