I did demo this torch for over 15 people and we played with the different flames you can get. Everyone was very excited about the strong Oxidizing flame. But can that flame still have unpure O2 quality and still look fine?

Yes, a flame can be hissing and not be oxidized if the purity is bad. The hissing is just whistling - gas moving through the tubes quickly. That's all hissing indicates.
A flame from a torch being run on an oxygen concentrator with poor purity will generally look weaker in color than a normal neutral flame (given the same lighting conditions).
