O.K., I looked at ABR's site and it looks like the hose they have is 1/4" ID x 3/8" OD. They also have 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD hose, too.

Pipyr thanks for your answer!
I worked only twice with boro: once on a miniCC on tanked oxy and on a Isiheat(german torch) with two concentrators. I think it will be comparable to the last one. I just can't wait to try it out myself!!
Pipyr, thanks for your offer, but I really don't want to give you extra work. I have a rough idea now thanks!

Thanks Kim, for your answer. I didn't measure the ID -- only noticed that it was stamped on the outside of the hose 3/8" and this was after I had tightened the clamps down. So I'm thinking that what I've got is the 3/8" OD 1/4" ID. I guess I could go back and find my receipt but that might take some looking.

well fired mine up last night. damn its cute and small. didnt make what i had planned as I fired it up, but really like the torch. kept reaching for the blue knob that is not there.
A magnet made with 1" med wall tube and a added lens of I think around 12mm rod. not as fast as I normally make but produce it fast enough. for what this torch is and cost it is in a league of its own and the GTT quality really is out standing. Bargain of a price. thanks

I'm so jealous. I'm still waiting for email from GTT saying they are shipping the torch.
At the moment like this, I wish I live in US <sigh>

This is awesome, really nice murf! A very promising example of what this torch can do. I have one ordered to hold me over until I get my Phantom and was really glad to see this. Thanks for sharing.

I am waiting for a refund from a disastrous grooming seminar I took last weekend in Hershey, PA. It will pay for my torch, so I`m glad it was disastrous. I have the colors narrowed down to red, orange, or sparkle purple. If anyone has ordered any of those colors, please post a pic here so I can see what it looks like!! Actually, just the red or orange, I believe we have a pic of the sparkle purple.

Here is a picture of the Crickets we took to The Gathering, including a red one with red knobs. The bases are silver for the Crickets being made now.

Ok, saw that pic, but wasn`t sure that red torch was red or orange, kind of looks like it could be either one. They also describe the pink as "hot" pink, but in that pic it looks like pastel. Decisions, decisions....... lol

I got a hot pink one for my sister. It is definitely hot pink and not pastel.
Hopefully I get to fire mine up this afternoon!

only 6 days from USA to Czech Republic (including Toll office), wow allmost unbelivable, usually it takes weeks, even months.
Hmm, i have to buy new hoses.
One question, in the manual, there is "if you use propane, set the regulator to 5lbs of pressure", does it mean that the outgoing pressure should be 5psi?
Another question, will you use flashback arrestors for the Cricket?

I've read that the chances of a flashback on a surface mix torch (like the Cricket) are very low, but I have arrestors anyway. I just wouldn't be comfortable without them. That and I'm somewhat skeptical about "facts" I read on forums and so I play it pretty conservative.
