Trouble shooting-natural gas questions

Redmax top flame works as expected with 10psi propane, 25 oxygen.

Natural gas- the top flame was so sharp and really loud. Also the flame was a couple millimeters infront of the ports. Like floating infront as I added the oxygen. If that makes sense. Bottom flame seemed ok though.

Just heard that natural gas stays at around 1.5psi?

What could be the issue? Anyone run into this before? It works fine on propane and don’t have experience with setting up my own torch on natural gas manifold.

Leaky oxygen regulator. Any quick fix?

I have divardi regulators (yeah I know lol)
The oxygen one I put on a fresh tank and oxygen was coming out strong. I tightened it more and you couldn’t hear the leak but the oxygen kept dying out on the torch.

Sprayed with soapy water and the leak is coming from inside somewhere. It’s not coming from the threads, it’s coming out of the other end. It appears it’s not sealing properly.

What could have caused this? (Propane reg works fine) did I possibly over tighten it?

I noticed there’s some rust on the nut that’s right before the make fitting with the screen.

Any help is welcome thank you.

Bethlehem Bravo Vs Champion?

My favorite torch I’ve used is the bravo. I see the champion looks like it has a bit more power but I’ve been happy with the power from the bravo. Not sure if down the road I’ll want a champion or not.

Anyone care to share their opinion?

I was also considering a GTT mirage but I’ve heard that it works strange with natural gas. Idk if that’s true or not.

Plan on hooking up torch to natural gas and bottle oxygen.

The sharp versions of the bethlehems look cool but I really like the size of the center fire on the bravo.
