In the attached photos I show the size of cut and what the torch parts looked like after they "mis-fired"(?). This was the original set on our PM1650 w/T100m torch. It made over 100 pierces on 3/4" AR plate and over 1800 inches of cut. Then I switched to the 1.25" cuts (no pierce, edge start) and did about 200 inches of cut before it gave out. I think it was the size of the cut that got it not the amount of cut time.

Is this typical? Did I squeeze all the life out of the parts?

Compared to oxy, I am happy with what I was able to do in both cut quality and maintenance. I have not done enough to make a cost comparison to oxy. Way to many variables at the moment. For instance I would not put aftermarket parts on a HP, but our Victor gear runs great (some manufacturers) on aftermarket. And sometimes you can find good deals on OE Victors consumables. Have not found any deals with HT parts yet.
