What oxycon(s) do you use to run your Scorpion?
And are you pleased with your set-up??

I don't have a Scorpion but I'm sure 2 M-15's would rock it.and they are on sale.

I have a single 10lpm/9psi and it runs quite well... I just fully open the oxy on both valves and adjust the propane. But it's definitely not maxed. I used to use tanked on the outer, and it was able to get a much bigger oxidizing flame with longer candles. On my single oxycon the candles for a large neutral flame would be 6-8mm long, maybe a bit shorter than I'd like. For an oxidizing flame I normally turn off the outer gas, and tighten the outer oxy a bit to force more oxy up the middle.
So I'd agree dual 8lpms (like the M-15) would be perfect.

Thanks for the info, guys.
G., the M-15 sale is exactly why I was asking. I've been wanting to upgrade for awhile, and that sale may just be the push I needed.

The Scorpion is running on natural gas at .5 PSI with two 10 PSI at 5 LPM machines and works very well. Adequate for this fuel level.
With propane, the torch produces a larger flame with three machines as there is more fuel available at a greater pressure.

I sprung for an oxygen generator at last year's gathering. It is awesome and will allow me to run both my scorpion and a cricket side-by-side. I got the OG-20 and spent not that much more than two m-15s!

I run mine on one Sequal Integra and it powers both inner and outer fine (for me). I'm sure I could hook up another unit to get more out of it but it's pretty darn great as it is

you can use a holding take too and get by on 1 big con.
Trey has a great tut on setting up a holding tank.
