I have initiated the return through ebay.  I stated what was said in this thread.  I'm sure the response should be interesting. I hate returning things, especially things that are made when ordered.  However, I just don't feel confident in the product and as such will not use it.  I thought about swapping the hose and coating the blanket, however I paid $140+ for this and don't feel like throwing more money into it.  Looks like I'm building a HT oven now.  Time to start reading. Thanks guys!

So, I just received one of these forges after ordering from ebay. It is the one burner paint can style.

 I'm a newb and was just looking to heat treat some blades (kiridashis and similar).  Since I have some O1 steel blanks already made, I started wondering if I should just return this forge and throw more money into an oven/kiln for proper soaking of O1 (DIY build or something like evenheat).  I was searching for the seller info in order to ask about O1 soaking and came across this thread.  I haven't unwrapped the hose and regulator or the piping, however in the pics in the auction and what I can see through the packaging, I'm thinking the tubing, T and connections are the same as posted here.  So now I'm really thinking about returning it.  I just received it yesterday and have a 14 day return window.  Probably going to pack it back up tonight and take it to the PO in the morning.
