I have a DeVilBiss 5lpm and a Mega Minor using a BBQ tank and I melted through my first three mandrels and my candles were right on for a neutral flame. It gets plenty hot. I made boro spacer beads with it just to see if it would melt boro.

I was dropping glass globs all over the bench the first few days. I can't imagine it with a 15 or 20 oxy con...I would have to switch to boro just so I would have actual beads and not melted globs!!!
