Default Knight Little Dragon Bead Burner 21

Does anyone have any information on this torch? According to AS's info, it melts glas 3x faster than the Bead Burner 7 but I can't find anything other than a couple of short blurbs on the Bead Burner 7. How does it (the 21) compare to other torches? I'm very happy with my Mini CC, but would like to make bigger items.

I can't afford a Lynx right now, but at $295, this one looks like it might be just what I need. Plus I heard they're pretty much Carlisle knockoffs without the "hot knobs" issue. How does it perform with Oxy cons? I have 2, with a 3rd available, if needed. I also just bought an oxy tank and regulator, "just in case".

Any information you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Comparisons, opinions...

Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in this little torch as well. I'll be looking at it this week. I'll let you know what I find out.

Generations Glass has been offering Knight torches for some time now and we are thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance of all of their torches.

The Little Dragon - 21 Jet has a flame slightly larger than the Nortel Mid-Range but has more thrust and heat.

In my opinion Knight makes a superior quality torch than Carlisle due to better materials and construction.

I would suggest using a minimum of 3 of the medical (4-6 LPM) concentrator units with this torch.
