LAST UPDATE (probably) -
Torch is running great.
I found an air pressure snubber that removes the pulsing of the nebulizer so no more pulsing flame when using air.
Also, I purchased a cheap Smith Little Torch clone and drilled out tips #1 - 3. I made them .041, .051, and .063. I left 4 and 5 at .020 and .029.
I know its a cheap piece of equipment and can be low quality so I leak check often and treat it with care. So far I am very happy with the performance. I used the Griffin valves to 'T' off my main lines for gas supply.
My seals are already looking better. I also use it to polish punty marks while my glass is sitting in a marble mold.

Plus, I built some very basic rollers using conveyor rollers, bolts, and a drilled/tapped aluminum plate. It has been very helpful in keeping all my work truly on-center. Since I don't have a big torch I didn't need the wheel rollers for big work.
