I have a 10 oxycon and use my mega minor with that. I have never tried it with the 5, so am not sure about how it would do.

When you light your torch, watch your flame as you adjust it. If it narrows and you lose the yellow tips, it is oxygenizing. If you have longish yellow tips and it is bushy, it is reducing. Small yellow tips and a flame between narrow and fluffy is neutral.

Do you have a regulator on your propane? It should be set at about 4-6, some people even have luck with 3. I guess it depends on your regulator and tank setup, not sure.

If I get out to the torch, I can try getting a video or pictures of my flame at different settings.
