@echeveria it smells chemical and maybe a bit sweet - if anything I would liken it to a very bad, headache inducing, car air freshener. It only smells like that when running.

I have devilbiss 515ADS and it has a purity measuring device built in. It shows "normal oxygen" when running which should mean more than 84% pure.
Few times though I had the "service required" or "low oxygen" controls come on. But both times when I switched the machine off for a while and turned it on again they didn't come back. The machine also makes kind off a "breathing" noises, I think it's maybe a pressure valve releasing excess pressure.. which I am not sure is normal..

I wonder if there is some way for me to double check the purity of the oxygen but it seems like those devices are pretty expensive. Do you by any chance know how pure the oxygen has to be to power a torch properly?
