Title: Tuffnells new 8 l oxycon
Post by: mel on June 25, 2016, 11:02:52 AM
Has anyone bought one of the 8 litre oxycons. They look like good value and I am very tempted, but thought I'd ask to see if anyone has any thoughts.

My thoughts are that they will be no better nor worse than the other sized offerings.  That means they will be 'just good'!

All you need to do is decide on which size you really require now, or in the foreseeable future.

We have a Nortel minor which is OK for soda glass, but not borosilicate.  60% extra oxygen (or a higher O2 content at lower volume) cf. the 5 lire version may well make it much more lively, as Martin says in his recent post.
