Lightweight welding nozzles, mixer, etc

[bambuko]

I am setting up oxy-propane brazing for my home workshop.
Started by getting Butbro Orbit shank and mixer.

I will need nozzles for it - question is:
do I buy any lightweight nozzles or does it have to be Butbro?

Same question for mixer - if I ever have to change it, can I just buy lightweight mixer or are they all different and only fit specific make of shank?

Apologies if these are dumb questions and thank you for any advice.

Thank you!
That's what I thought, but bearing in mind potential consequences of getting things wrong I thought I'd better ask...
BTW - does the same apply to mixers as well? (ie can I mix and match?).

the mixer blowpipe threads are standard cant vouch for the torch fitting end to be standard on diffrent makes

OK, something to keep in mind if I ever have to replace it.
As far as the hoses I guess I need to search for oxy and propane with 1/4" and check valves on the torch end, and 3/8" on the bottle/flashback end.
Seems to be easy for oxy but not that much choice for propane (they all seem to be 3/8" both ends?)
