National makes an 8R for the 8M, it takes pre-mix tips and gets pertty hot. That's what I ran before I got my Mirage.

i started with that same combo. i loved everything about it except for the radiant heat and changing the bottom tips when the torch was hot from work. for the rider tip it's nice to have a few but i got the most use out of a #4. you can get a real strict pinner flame which is the one thing i couldn't get out of the surface mix tips for the bottom. the big bottom tip worked cadmiums and dichro better than my carlisle..... i miss that.
peace, m

the 8m w/ the rider, a modified 3a is a great tourch set up ...i agree with that other monkey... i used a 7 around one tip was quieter and i liked it better for fumming.. i have some lovly burn scares from that old tourch...
