Unhappy Question about Propane Please Help

My flame has been spitting out a lot of carbon lately. It's a fairly new torch, Scorpion, which I love. This didn't start until I changed the propane tank out, using a different company than usual.

When I turn on just propane, there is a black smoke that comes from the end of the flame. Could this be a bad tank of gas? Please tell me it's that simple?

I've never seen this before on any of my other torches and it's ruining my pieces.

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

Lisa, how new is the torch? Any possibility of it having machining oil in it that could be burning off? Just thinking out loud, will ask J and see if he has any ideas...
