Trouble is that all the brass in torch valves is really really soft and we can ruin a sealing surface all too easily by over-tightening without even knowing it.
Same with the threading on the valve stem that pushes the valve closed.


ETA: Do you have a check valve or flashback arrestor on that oxygen line?
They can get sticky or clogged and cause a constriction on the flow also.
