Hi Milt,

    I also use the Little Torch, but with acetylene and oxygen. It just
    came that way. In retrospect, I might have preferred propane had I
    known there was a choice. My oxygen tank is not disposable, but
    refillable/exchangeable at my local welding supply company. It last
    about as long as my acetylene tank does. Not sure offhand of what a
    refill costs, but it doesn't hurt much, and is certainly more cost
    effective than disposable canisters. You might investigate what would
    be involved to move to this type of configuration. 

All the best,

Dave
