I've ran mine that way for about 5 yrs. I have a Puritan oxycon. I've never ran the Lynx on bottled oxy, nor have I worked on anything other than this setup and a HH, so.....maybe I don't know what I'm missing out on. LOL I can "fry" about any glass with ease. Can't imagine how bad I would boil everything if it was hotter. I have a tendency to run my flame slightly reducing which explains why I'm not great with rubino. Can't really blame that on the torch though.
I do think the torch is capable of getting a much bushier flame than what I do. I can get one about 3/4" wide. Don't know how much wider it would go on tanked. I have been making wine stoppers lately that take at least 3 rods of glass. This hasn't been a problem at all on my setup. I haven't done enough boro yet to be a good judge on it.
Not sure if my experience is typical or not. Not sure how many of us go with the lone oxy. Maybe I've just been lucky.
