Default Redmax popping

Hi,

So I JUST got the new torch set up and as you may expect, I HAD to fire it up and see how it works.

The surface mix top torch is just like the Minor I used once before so nothing out of the ordinary really there.

The bottom bigger torch though.... It's just ridiculous! Coming from a Hothead, it's borderline scary.

The real question is this. On the larger bottom torch, I crack the propane and light it and when I crack the oxygen, I get a pop. Sounds just like the pop or crack I've heard from an oxygen/acetylene cutting torch. Is this normal? Should I be doing something different to avoid it?
