Default Carlisle Wildcat and oxygen concentrators?

I have a customer who may be interested in a Carlisle Wildcat. I wanted to see if any of you run one off of concentrators, and how the flame characteristic is. I have worked on one, but only on tanked oxygen.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Wildcat and run it off of 2 concentrators and nat gas. Nice big bushy flame.Upgraded from a Minor. Definitly hotter than the minor. Cant seem to get a pinpoint flame. I wouldnt run it on 1 concentrator.2 is good but I had the chance to run it on 3 concentrtors and that was better. I only work with soft glass.

It doesn't do a pinpoint flame at all but it 's great for bigger things like fish or winestoppers. I think it has 18 holes but you can find out for sure on their website. I ran mine about 10 times and loced how fast it melts but I was using liquid oxygen. Paula
