I did not see anyone responding that owned both torches so I tried to help. I tried to tell the positives to both torches I owned. I had been told by friends the bravo was a lot like the barracuda but a little bit more O2 friendly.
The difference I found with the torches is GTT is a more thrusting, penetrating, and hotter flame. The Cuda is a gentler, flame. It is neutral fLAME but can be made into a nicer gentler but strong, reducing flame. My GTT reducing flame is just either thrusting or weak. I would have to really show you.
Maybe with the bravo design this has changed?

and was designed during a time when tanked oxygen was all that
was available.
If you are running a Barracuda on concentrators it will reduce very
easily because it needs LOTS of oxygen for full combustion.
The Scorpion is designed with Concentrator use in mind so it uses
the available oxygen more efficiently, by far, than the Barracuda.
The Bravo is a newly designed replacement for the retired Barracuda
and it is also designed with Oxygen concentrator use in mind. |
