Default Mega minor and oxycon

Does anyone know if a deVilbiss MC44 or Airsep 5 lpm is good enough for mega minor? Or do I need 2 oxycons or 1 bigger oxycon?

I only planning to work on soft glass.

Or do I have better luck with minor?

Thanks in advance.

I just added a second 5 lpm for my mega. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet so don't know if it makes a huge difference. I may have some unreasonable expectations for a nice wide flame

I run natural gas and 1 5lpm on my mega minor and it's plenty hot for soft glass.

I love it!

I'm using a 5 lpm Airsep with my minor and it works fine. I'm also using soft glass.

I have no experience with the mega minor though.

I have a Minor and a Mega Minor. I ran the Minor on one concentrator and wanted more heat so I went with the Mega Minor. The was minimal difference until I added a 2nd concentrator. It has really shortened the working time on large beads.
