Hi Sojourner,

    Sounds to me like your torch is just running low on one or the other
    gas.   If the flame is becoming bushier, with a yellow or orange
    color at its center, you are running low on oxygen. If it becomes
    short, blue, and pointy, you're running out of propane. In my
    experience, the oxygen runs out pretty quickly, while the propane
    tanks last forever and ever and ever. This happens because the
    oxygen is more expensive ;-) 

    The tanks will never "feel empty" even if they are, as the gas
    inside is not a heavy enough weight to be detected by even a
    sensitive hand. 

    You have, by the way, one of the most poetically resonant names I've
    ever seen.   I grew up wishing I'd been named Eowyn...oh well. 

All the best,
Jessee Smith
