It's not really an oxygen "pig," since it uses less oxygen than other torches capable of working the same size glass. "Pig" implies waste or inefficiency.
You're going to use more oxygen on a Cheetah than a Lynx or another 7 jet torch because the Cheetah is a larger torch and has almost twice the number of jets. Actually, while on full blast, the Cheetah uses oxygen in the neighborhood of what a Mini CC uses at full blast, maybe a hair more, yet it has almost twice the number of jets, a wider flame, and a heck of a lot more heat!
