YEAH! Now I can torch like a grownup!
I finally ordered my 12` long hose so I can hook up to bulk propane, and it came today! Now all I have to do is get the bulk tank, and a bracket to mount the HH to the table and I`m all set to go!
I do, however, have yet one more stupid question...when I`m finally hooked up, do I turn the propane about halfway on, or does it even matter? Is it a matter of personal preference? I guess since I never turned the MAPP bottle on the whole way before I lit it, it pretty much works the same way?
Man, I can`t WAIT to finally be able to try some stuff that`s been in my head without the torch freezing up after 25 minutes.
If I`m this excited over a bulk hose, imagine what I`d be like if I ever got a new torch, lol!

Open propane tank all the way...... If its full open then there is only one way it will turn when you are trying to turn it off if you are under a stress situation (panic)...

I agree with Dale. Always turn the tank on full so there is only one way to turn it off. I do the same thing with my Y connection. The only thing I don't do this for is my acetylene tanks since I was always taught they were only cracked open a quarter turn. I am not sure if this was a safety thing to limit the amount to turn it off in an emergency or what since I was taught it both in welding and jewelry classes.

If you're switching from MAPP to propane, be sure to work a bit higher in the flame until you get used to it, and less flame to start... Congrats, I love the heck out of my bulk propane.
