Thank you Kbinkster... I'm more confused than ever but I can get an EX-5 which puts out 5 LPM @ 7 PSI for just under $400 CDN$ and that might just be the way to go. Stats-wise this machine is right between the DeVilbis MC (5 LPM at 8.5 psi) and the Invacare (5 LPM at 5 psi) so it should work.
Now I just have to wait for the Cricket to be available!
I know its immature but when I decide on what I want, I want it now! Waiting until September or October seems like a eternity. Oh, well, I have too much gardening to do anyway!

I currently have a Minor with an M-5 (Devillbis) oxycon, which I enjoy using.
Lately I've been making long gravity beads measuring over 3 1/2 inches. Would the Cricket give more heat and allow me to work more quickly in a particular area on the bead as compared to the Minor? It's a big balancing act trying to keep the whole bead sufficiently and evenly warm. It seems that when I finally get the glass flowing the way I want it in a particular area, I get paranoid and feel the need to flash the entire bead.
Any insight?

Well, I'm on the waiting list for the torch and I've ordered an EX-10 oxycon on the theory that I can always turn it down if it produces more oxygen than the torch needs. I'm getting pretty excited! If all goes well my studio will be up and running right after I plant the bulbs in the garden.

This is the one I put my name down for and I like it just fine. Sparkles would be nice too but I won't be sitting around all day looking at my torch, will I?

I'm glad I went non-sparkly! This is gorgeous. Now we just have to impatiently wait for them to ship.

Hey Kim....you never mentioned how well these do on a natural gas line and a 5lpm concentrator?
I'd like to buy one but I know the bobcat didn't like natural gas at all

I think the info is on post#3, Irene.
1/4psi propane = NG, right?

hmmm, personally I like the base on the first posted pictures. well now i guess i will have to up grade the base for my phantom. maybe get the mirage base for that and swap out the phantom base for my cricket. just be sinful to go silver all of a sudden.

It's the Lynx that doesn't do well on 1/4 psi NG. The Bobcat does great on low pressure.
As for the Cricket, I ran it on 1/4 psi propane (don't have NG in the studio) and it did very well.

I'd be happy to test the Cricket on 1/4 NG and the Regalia -- just in case you're looking for a tester  Just kidding... sort of. And I do have one on order...
BTW what should I set the Regalia to with 1/4 NG?
