Default Which Regulator?

My question is.... Can you use an Acetylene regulator instead of a Propane regulator on the propane bottle ?

If you are running a *large* torch, do note that most welding regulators max out at 15 psi (a safety limit for acetylene). If you are running a small torch, this isn't an issue.
