Another question. Are the oxygen concentrators okay to run on a high humidity screened-in porch? I'm just about to buy the M-15 and the Mega Minor and wanted to make sure it will be okay outside. Rain won't bother it and I can pull it inside at night if it's not a pain to unhook. Is it? Thanks guys!

It would be better for your concentrator if you could run the concentrator indoors and run a line out to the torch. Humidity can affect the performance of any concentrator. Couple that with heat, and it gets worse.

Okay, so what kind of line do I run from the concentrator and where do I get it? I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Peggy

I found very little difference between the minor and mega minor when I upgraded earlier this year. The flame is only fractionally wider so have just bought a mid-range. However, I should add that I use natural gas so that may be the cause. I may have to go to tanked gas with the mid-range for boro. I have replaced my two 5lpm oxycons with an 8lpm 12psi oxycon and that made a huge difference to the amount of heat available.
