There is a limit to the rate of acetylene flow that is a function of your tank size. It's 1/7 of the tank's capacity per hour. If you go any faster than that you start flowing the acetone carrier and bad things can happen.

I have much bigger tanks, and the largest tip that is recommended is a Smith 207. I found that brazing lugs with brass was much easier with that tip size.
