Default Studio is finally finished and I'm using my torch...

I just would l like to know the difference between what the flame looks like on a Betta, with propane, and with natural gas? My friend has a Betta also, and her flame looks different then mine on natural gas. She said a nutral flame has yellow tips on the cones, I know what this looks like, because I've seen it on a minor. But I can't see any yellow tips on flame. The cones all look good, the sizes are right, the center is a tiny bit taller then the others but this is normal from what I understand. I'm wondering if I'm using too much oxygen, or too much gas? Also, I'm using a concentrator, maybe the setting on that is wrong. I made some beads, and am not happy with them. But that could just my skill, I'm a newbie.

Thanks, I hope someone can help me.
Ree

The tips will be more white than yellow on NG. It is a little tricky to know when you are in a reduction flame while using NG because of this.
