Milt-

    	I use regulated bottles, but I think that you can perform a simple
    test to find out why you are eating the oxygen.  Take soapy water and
    brush it over your fittings while they are under pressure.  Anywhere
    you have a leak, it should bubble (there is also leak testing
    solution, but it looks a lot like green flux).  Also, consider torch
    adjustment.  If your adjustments are not 'perfect' for consumption
    then one gas will always be used faster than it 'should' be used,
    chemically speaking.
