My question is would a GTT Lynx run better/hotter because of the way they are constructed? I am making marbles and the Alpha is good for about 1.25 inches, but it takes much longer for anything bigger. I have seen opinions run both directions on the way the Lynx runs on the M20. I would love to see some definite proof from someone that runs the Lynx on a concentrator.
Thanks,

Does you Alpha run something like this one? He has his set at 9 LPM:

Here is the same torch being run on tanked oxygen:

By comparing the video of the Alpha running on tanked oxygen, to what you're getting out of it on your M20, you can get an idea of how much of that torch's potential you are reaching.
Now, check out this video of the centerfire of a Bravo (same as the Alpha) being run on a different 10 LPM machine:

If you want to see the Lynx (centerfire of Phantom) on the same concentrator, then watch this video, too:

I would think that you would see the same kind of difference between the the Alpha and Lynx on your concentrator, as well.
So, now you can see the Alpha on tanked oxygen, on your own M20, and on another 10 LPM concentrator (the Regalia) and you can see the difference between the Alpha and Lynx on the same 10 LPM concentrator.
