    Re: wtb hand torch

    I've noticed the ridges on some of the Lenz Uber joints. But they were very slight and NEVER anything like the quality of the chinese joint glass.

    Working those chinese joints is no fun!

    Re: WTB / used k or t tanks in ca.

    I have a couple extra T tanks I'd like to get rid of. I don't think I'll ever be using tanks again unless I can't get my LOX delivery in time.

    Only problem is that I'm in Washington state.
