can I just clarify you mean the cylinders filled where 4.5kg ones not 45kg?
I suspect and have read here somewhere that LPG/Propane guns can be used on 4.5kg or smaller but on larger cylinders require a variable pressure reg to used.

Is it Ok to run Propane gadgets on LP ?
Is it OK to try and fill a Small Propane bottle off a LP bottle ?
Gas shit scares me as much as Lecky stuff scares others .
Having had a Mapp torch develop a serious leak and thought about the consequences ,bit nervous now.

The safest line is don't mix and match clearly and we all know that.
Given the Berzo torch is a variable valve type and cylinder is no larger than 4.5kg it's been used successfully by many not just here but commercially by medical gas/pipe fitters etc for years.
Personally I cheat a lot... I use bowser LPG for a car decanted to a bottle to avoid costs...like about -60% it's also way hotter ...but I've been well organised by a gas guru and certainly would not recommend it unless you clearly understand the differences in the fuels and the risks and have access to the same guru type to advise and setup.
This ain't straight forward like connecting a braided hose and opening the valve.
Also plenty of safety gear helps when dealing with any gas regardless.
