What is that L-shaped thingy on top of the torch?

[TimiaGlass]

@VisualK3i94 It's a graphite marver for shaping the hot glass. Hot glass doesn't stick to graphite. Mounting it on the torch puts it closer to the flame and easier to access.

how long does a bottle of oxygen last ya?

[TimiaGlass]

@fourpointohh I suppose that depends on what I'm making and how much I'm working. A week to a couple of months.

have you ever seen a midrange in red? I wont say how but i do believe i have a RED MAX prototype thats design is somewhat in between the midrange and redmax

[TimiaGlass]

@Burritoast No, I haven't. But this doesn't surprise me since they went red with the Mega Minor torch. You may have the Mega Midrange or something, I've heard that Nortel changed ownership awhile back.

I wouldn't have any use for one those but I want one.

how much did this 1 cost

[Burritoast]

@TimiaGlass

maybe but i dont think so... imagine a redmax with no vent ports. a solid body like a mid-range. however it has a circular jet port like the redmax and has a red premix as well
