Thank you for your response. The flame looks fine to my eye and my clears and color are fine too. BUT I will look into a local place to get the O2 purity checked it possible. I called one before and they would not help me.

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).
