Not sure I am following most of this. Some torches are definitely more oxygen efficient than others.

Build a system that produces and stores a lot of oxygen and you can supply any torch on the market "efficiently"


'state of the art' means:

the level of knowledge and development achieved in a technique, science, etc., esp at present
adj (prenominal) state-of-the-art
the most recent and therefore considered the best; up-to-the-minute




This terminology does not hold water with me. Actually I have always waited several years before buying any new "state of the arts" anything so they can get all of the bugs worked out first.

That terminology was stated by you in a way that rules out considering any of the older tried and true models like the Minor and the Mini CC Burners etc. and even the HH. Sorry but that is just wrong in my opinon.

I just don't want any newbies reading this thread to think that state of the art is the best/only way to go. It surely isn't in regards to torches.

I have 5 torches and they are all different and I use them all for different things.
