At the Best bead show they just had in Tucson, there was a Carlisle CC set up and running on the UO units. I worked on it and it ran great. Barry demoed on it all weekend. It seemed to be a good match up for everyone who tried it out. ;) Hope this helps.

I have not used it myself, but since the pre-mix uses less pressure and less volume than most other centerfires out there, it should be a good match. I think that Paul at Unlimited Oxygen has run tests with the centerfire, so you might try contacting him. http://www.unlimitedoxygen.com/

Thanks to both of you for the info.

I have run my CC center fire on two 5LPM concentrators and it works fine. The only time I don't like it is when fuming. Gold seems to fume fine, but I can't get a good silver fume. It's weird because gold fuming takes a lot of pressure and oxygen, and silver takes low pressure and a reducing flame. It may be because the oxygen from the concentrators is less pure or something. I can fume the silver and get a heavy coating, but can't get a nice light coating like I want. It's either no fume or a bunch when working with concentrators. It may be possible if I were to just mess around with it more though...
