I just kept watching the video thinking for sure this dude was going to blow something up or at least catch on fire, but he lives to make another video. Thanks for the video anyway
The acetylene in that cylinder is dissolved in acetone & in some sort of absorbent media (like a sponge). If you really must leave it on it’s side (which isn’t advised) you should leave it standing upright for some time to let the gas stabilise before using.
PS: Check and make sure they incorporated the antiflashback arrestors in the torch body. If they didn't you can get ones to go in line upstream of your torch. Most modern torches already have them but you should be sure.

@@douglasthompson2740 no thank the people like you for selling this country out and WONT TAKE THE TIME OR SPEND EXTRA MONEY TO FIND QUALITY ITEMS PERIOD smh take your chances than China man👍
This mostly applies to acetylene which stores as a liquid in acetone inside the cylinder, the gaseous acetylene being on top. Acetylene cylinders should be allowed to settle if they've been tipped over. Oxygen stores as high pressure gas when transported in cylinders so the cylinder need mostly just be protected. The USAF stores its cylinders horizontally in GOX carts and flies those inside airlifters so it's quite safe, but custom is to store oxygen cylinders vertically and chained or restrained against tipping. Every user should study OFFICIAL welding and industrial gas safety training material and AssUme nothing.
Acetylene tanks should ALWAYS be vertical so internal acetone remains on the bottom. The US Air Force gaseous oxygen carts stow cylinders horizontally and they've been shipped by air that way since first issued many decades ago but custom generally has them and fuel gas tanks vertical to keep it simple in civilian life.
love that "rose bud" for heating up steel to bend. hope that set up works good for you. my hypotherm 45 wont cut thick enough metal. so use a torch to cut thicker steel. one set is victor and the other is harris. my hands are not as steady as they once were. when i have to cut a straight line, i lay a straight edge on the piece to be cut and run the torch against it.
When opening gas valves always have the cylinder valve between your face and the regulator. The regulator is the weakest link and when you hit it with high pressure gas if something lets loose or isn’t secured you want your face protected. The big brass tank valve is a lot of armor.
Well I am impressed right at the start. My small Victor torch that I bought new in '75 doesn't even come with a rose bud and they don't make one you can buy! Since in this day of plasma heating is what I do most with the gas rig I really miss that option.
Keep an eye on the O-rings on the heating tips and cutting attachment. If they crack replace them with rings known to be Viton material. That is a "Victor style" torch and the parts like tips may or may not interchange with similar Victor parts.
You can adjust that striker on the flint so it strikes better and when cutting either turn the heat up more or preheat more o wanna say your oxygen should be set at 20 and acetylene at 10
your tank isn't big enough to run that rosebud tip. At the most, it's a 55 cu ft. tank, if it was full it couldn't support that #6 tip. You need a lot of gas for a rosebud. Typical #6 tip is going to use 14-40 cfh...with that tank full, you're only getting maybe 7.5 cfh. Along with the other issues already mentioned...your tank was on it's side, you don't have any securement on your tanks while cutting, your o2 valve was turned on way too fast, especially considering the likelyhood of contaminants being in the valve. Did you check for leaks? I didn't even see a leakdown pressure test. Your slag is dropping on combustible materials. Any issue you may have had with the torch is far surpassed by your lack of any type of safety protocols. You want to hurt yourself, that's fine. But don't put out a video teaching how to do something dangerous.
Thanks for sharing sir, been looking at the same one.... Thanks been enjoying yer videos and subed. You got a oxy amphetamine torch hahaha Hey what plasma cutter do you use??
Get a big hand truck you can put both bottles on it then tie it down with tie down straps Jack you can buy different types of cutting tips for that torch
You need to turn the acetylene a little higher when your lighting it off lol other then that seams like she works good for being cheaper when your trying to bend it especially a pipe that thick heat more area as hot as you can get her
Just got the same Kit, For set of Mini Bottles, Found in my Late Fathers Basement, Soon as get them filled they'll be nice for future projects. I haven't used mine yet, but think there couple different tips in the set, you have too use right one to for cutting, and maintain A puddle to cut through, looks like your where wasting time cutting sheet metal waste effort.
