Question S.O.S. -help with new Bobcat & NO flame:/

Helloooooooo...I need your help, please & thankyou...
I have a Cricket, but all of the sudden I stopped having a flame.
Thinking it was a torch issue, I bought a Bobcat. Smh, lol

Same problem, NO flame. So, I know now it's NOT a torch issue, lol...
My oxygen concentrator still runs great & I'm on year 10 of lampworking with the old girl. At least I think it's great...when I turn it on, I can feel oxygen pouring out. When I go to light my torch, it will NOT LIGHT, period. The End.
I'm going on the process of elimination & have eliminated that it's a torch issue, so that leaves my concentrator, propane tank or my propane regulators....?

I recently exchanged my propane tank, but is it possible it's just the tank?
I can smell a faint amount of propane, but don't think it's as strong as previous times with a newly filled tank...I mean wouldn't it at least light if there's some propane coming out? Oh, also I unfortunately stored my regulator & hoses out in my garage for a Winter (record snowfall & temps. for Toledo, Ohio)
Don't ask.....*sighs*

So, just trying to think of everything here...
I can't even get a flicker of a flame, when I go to light it, it just does nothing.

Anyone have any thoughts on this problem at all?
I just need to resolve it....& would appreciate the help soo much!!
Smiles,
Lori
