Oxycons typically put out about 94% at best.

And if you turn them up to 5 out of 5 you can get as low 84% purity.

I suggest you turn you oxycon down to 4 and then ballence your propane against the oxygen until you get good blue cones.

Your green may be getting propane soot or possibly the "reducing flame" { too much propane} is bringing up the cooper in the green glass.

You could find that you have to go to a much smaller flame to get the heat you want to work with, as counter intuitive as that sounds.

ETA: Oh and make sure your oxycon filters are in good shape. With 5 LPM machines you want to make it breath as easy as possible.
