Default torch -whats best with concentrator now?

been on liquid with a cheetah for so long I am out of the loop. I will only be working softglass and you can see what I am making mostly in my etsy shop. Smallish 14mm beads.

Also who is best for concentrators now? I ordered my first one from oxygen plus 6 years ago lol

Cricket! Does great on a 5 lpm concentrator and even better on an 8 lpm machine.

Definitely the Cricket. Does great on both low O2 and low fuel.

I'd keep your Cheetah and get a Regalia. I tried it with a Cheetah at the Oakland Gathering two years ago. It's great - may not be liquid oxy but plenty for what you need!

I tried the Regalia with a Barracuda at the Rochester Gathering. . . bidded and won it at Live Auction. The Regalia runs my Barracuda the same, if not hotter, than two M15s.

If you need more heat try the Scorpion. The outer fire makes a significant difference. Used a Cricket and upgraded. With three 5 LPM at 9 PSI machines the Scorpion works well. However, for 104 at 14 mm a Cricket with one or two concentrators will be more than adequate.

I just find myself not really needing my cheetah anymore. I am not working boro at all and starting a new career. Just trying to get away from the 200$ a month liquid oxy without a huge investment in equipment that I wont be using as much
