Re: Gentec Compact Torches and Small Torches
Love my compact! Don't hesitate to buy from Eric, he's a stand up guy, plus these will not blow out even while using a small flame

Re: Gentec Compact Torches and Small Torches
Love my gentec for fuming... been using it to make some honeycombs and it fumes a lot nice than my phantom seems to...
Mutiny glass works on facebook has a pretty nice stand for it... i had to pry open the mouth a little bit to get it to fit the torch i have but after that it works fine. Not sure i can say its worth $35 though, it seems like all harbor freight type parts... also it would be nice if they were a bit longer... i'll probalby just buy some pieces from harbor freight and make it bigger.

Re: Gentec Compact Torches and Small Torches
Doing business with allstyles / eric was great. Keeps in contact even after receiving payment which I appreciate. Wouldnt hesitate to do more business with eric again...
Eric, do you sell gentec gas savers? Price?
Do they only make one model?
Do they make a mini version for the small/compact?
What pressure are the compact hoses rated for?
Whats gentecs website? My google search provided a lot of different gentec brands.

Re: Gentec Compact Torches and Small Torches
Doing business with Eric was great. I have one problem i need help with though, (has nothing to do with Eric).
So i was super pumped to use my compact for the first time at the studio yesterday. I have a redmax and i bought a set of y's from Mountain Glass, so i could run my compact off the quick connects i use when renting time at my local shop. When i went to light my torch, it wouldn't light. It was blowing propane out of the torch, but it wouldn't light (this goes for both my redmax both big and little and the compact torch). Whatever was coming out of the torch just blew the flame from my lighter out of the way. After switching stations it still continued. I finally took off the Y and went straight to my redmax and it worked just fine.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with my Y's or IDK WTF is going on. PLEASE HELP!

Hey Ben, I don't carry gas savers in my usual stock but I can order them when I get my shipments. I am actually doing a reorder today or Monday, so if people have special requests let me know.
Gas savers run $100, there are two models I believe - one for propane and one for acetylene use. I actually just got one for my lathe but have yet to run it. They do not make a a mini version for the Small or Compact, but they might be heavy enough to work on the normal one (I will report back when I find out on mine).

That is a good question. I have not come across that number in any of the literature I have, I will try to speak with their tech dept. and see if they know. I do know the OG Compact user Vertigo runs his at like 65 or 70 psi and have not heard of him having issues, but if he sees this maybe he will chime in if he has any input.

Yeah, they have a real issue with that. I have had numerous calls because people cannot find their website. The company is actually named Genstar Technologies but goes by Gentec... along with what seems to be 20 other companies in differing industries. The website is: http://www.genstartech.com/ They are a huge company with their hands in many different sectors, you want to click on the "Industrial" tab to get to the gear we mainly have interest in.

Re: Gentec Compact Torches and Small Torches
Last call for any special order requests on Gentec items. Examples of things I can get you all at great prices: hoses (both the small micro torch size and regular T grade in 1/4" and 3/8"), tips, regulators, quick connects, flashback arrestors, gas savers, welding outfits, etc. I can also get you fittings at a great price but they must be ordered in bulk (minimum of 10 per item).
I am making the reorder tomorrow morning so I must have requests by then.
Thanks for all the support TMP members, you guys rock!

Re: Gentec Compact Torches and Small Torches
How much are 8' and 12' lengths of the micro hose? How about a tip equivalent to the smith #5?

12' replacement hoses are $40, 8' I will have to check on for you.
The Gentec Small Torch #5 tip is equivalent to the
Smith #5. I can do Small Torch tips for $15.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Also, my reorder should be here Monday. I ordered 9 Compact kits, but have since compiled a waiting list of 7 wanting one. So, if you want a Compact holler at me soon, or it will have to wait for the next order which I will be making early next week.
