Do not buy the smith little torch!!!! buy this instead 

Glad it was helpful!

yes all the smith tips and regulators fit the gentech torch. regarding my setup, i use a disposable propane tank with the smith disposable tank regulator ( if you buy the gentech torch dont buy the gentech regulator...i feel the gentech torch is better but the regulator is shitty...definitely go with the smith regulator for the propane, for the oxygen, you dont need a regulator with a oxygen concentrator. You just directly attach the hose. you can find everything you need on amazon. regarding the aftermarket tips for melting, those can be found at paigetools on etsy.

@@sweetgumnyc7794 thank you so much for the quick reply. I’ve been hunting for a oxygen concentrator but no one is selling any in my area… is there any other hack you can think of to get oxygen besides the bottle way?

@@PulseOVision no, a used concentrator is definitely your best bet. oxygen is very expensive lately and you use a lot with a torch so a cheap used concentrator is definitely the only reasonable option

smith torch is fantastic. this wasnt intended to knock the smith..i just always felt that for what it is, its a little expensive.

Hi! , no regulator. you just connect a rubber hose from the concentrator directly to the torch. the propane tank needs a regulator but not the oxygen. its advised that you do use a flashback arrestor although i admit i dont use one but it is suggested.

if youre using a oxygen concentrator, you only need the propane regulator but if youre using tank oxygen ( something i dont recommend due to cost) then you need both.

trust me buy the gentech, youll be happy!

I’m interested as well considering I seen lady on here Thts had her smith for 14yr

really? i wonder why. i have been using it no problem but now im a little worried. maybe ill shoot them an email. thanks

@@sweetgumnyc7794 if you find out I would like to know too please. Maybe it's a pressure issue ?

Probably pulls more propane than the small tank is rated to supply. Can cause freeze ups or spitting liquid propane

@@KC9RXPnice to meet you N9EHQ 73

You're very welcome

im sorry i dont understand what youre asking

@@sweetgumnyc7794 sorry. I am trying to use. An o2 concentrator and a propane tank to run a smith little torch and a midrange torch. Using a splitter to do so

how do you like it?

@@sweetgumnyc7794 I haven't used it yet, but it is a very nice torch and of seemingly good quality. I have 2 Smith Little Torches (one vintage) and the other likely a modern chinese knock off, both are good, but The Gentec feels more substantial, no regrets. I honestly don't understand why the Smith mini commands such a price when there are many small and seeming more substantial heftier feeling torches available. Don't get me wrong Iam happy with my Smith minis, but I guess I own better whatever better means?

@@pharmdiesel i completely agree!

thank you so much!! i really appreciate it!

I know they are like 400 near me

I see them for sale on Craigslist and Marketplace often....super good deals too.

with just a regular rubber hose. you connect directly from the air outlet on the concentrator directly to the torch. it couldnt be easier.

Glad it was helpful!

i got mine used on craigslist. i think i paid 45 bucks? thats definitely the way to go if you can find one.

Can you show me how you install your oxygen concentrator

The Gentec is made in China, as well.

@@gjk540 yea but a lot better than the little torch clone thats made in china as well. gentech is made in a quality factory

yea i wondered the same thing. i doubt it but i had an original smith prior and i notice no difference . i still have the original tips. really no difference that i noticed

@@sweetgumnyc7794 I have an old Tescom torch. Ostensibly, Tescom was a division of Smith. Tescom was sold off, but the little torch went with smith. And now, Smith is part of Miller Electric, itself a division of ITW. Any way, I see some images of the old Tescom packaging, and those say sapphires. With may optivisor, I can see that the #1-3 have gems. Can't see any on the #4 and #5. Regardless, that Gentech, looks like a pretty solid unit.

thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it

I just subscribed, keep them videos coming. Keep up the hard work 🤘

@@tomrael9893 working on another as we speak :)

not that im aware of

www.paigetools.com/

thanks i really appreciate it!

i got mine from contenti

they must have raised their prices unfortunately..This is an old video..when i made it they were like half price.

youre checking craigslist? i got mine for 50 bucks

i make jewelry as well as leatherworking

yea but i had both and the chinese one is really bad quality.

$200? They’re $20 on AliExpress.

buy made in china if you dont need to live, even their swivel office chairs have actively killed people.

​@@sweetgumnyc7794China is a big country wita lot of factories. They make all kinds of very high end stuff and even more junk. But just because one Smith clone was leaky and dangerous doesn't mean 49 other factories selling then are equally bad at making them. Lots of people are happy with their Chinese little torch.
