Now that I have a large dedicated studio area, I'm looking at things I need to change - the first thing is my oxygen system. I'm running a Mini CC on one concentrator. I feel like I'm running at half the capacity I should be and need more oxygen. I had wanted to work with some boro - but that's totally out of the question. The last time I tried, it took nearly 30 minutes to melt enough glass to make a small (10mm) donut bead.
I'm wondering if I should just add another concentrator or if I should go with an M-10 or M-20 - or maybe an Onyx. I honestly have no idea what the best option would be. What I'm wondering is if I add another concentrator, is my oxygen output going to equal what I would have if I purchased an M-10, M-20, or Onyx? If not, I'm ready to bite the bullet and get one of those systems. I'm looking for the best oxygen output I can get for under $900.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
