I've been searching for information on the Meco Midget torch. Tin Man Technologies is mentioned most as the supplier for this torch. I found that Otto Frei jewelry supply sells the tips for about 40% less than T M Tech https://www.ottofrei.com/?logoff=T&whence=

Meco Midget Torch With 3 Tips (N-00, N-0, N-2 Tips) (https://www.ottofrei.com/Meco-Midget-Torch-with-3-Tips-N-00-N-0-N-2-Tips)
Part # 114.160

And your saying the second company is selling tips for 40% less? And they both come with 3 tips, so what am I missing here?
