    I am getting back into making silver jewelry, and am looking at
    torch options. I need something that is easy to store and transport,
    and is clean-burning (this last one is very important, as my
    workspace for the foreseeable future is my studio apartment, and I
    don't want a lot of soot showing up on my couch and bed). After
    looking online, and through the Orchid archives, I have found a few
    references to hydrogen/oxygen torch setups that create the gasses on
    the fly using electricity, distilled water, and a few other
    chemicals. This sounds very appealing to me for several reasons: unit
    size, constant gas supply, and small torch dimensions among them. 

    It sounds like several of you may have used these torches, and I was
    wondering if you had any opinions about specific models/brands or
    vendors that have treated you well? Currently I am looking at the
    Arizona HydroGen MG-25 and the Okai HydroFlux Welder, but I haven't
    seen anything to place one above the other, or many other contenders
    for this market to compare them against. Also, I am still open to
    other torch options if you have found that these oxy-hydrogen devices
    are not all that they're marketed to be. 

    Thank you for all of the information you are putting out there
    through this list; it is really a great resource.
