So far, so good on that one - for me. I got a few Blue Rhinos on trade for my oldies, and stuffed both old and new acetylene regulator schnoobles right on in and they tightened up and flowed just fine. I have a favorite "oversized" Western weed burner (3foot flame) that I use for annealing large parts and it always fits the new propane cans.

But I may just be in the "lucky" part of the West, here ..... ?
