Tenor Sax reeds.... good or bad?

I just recently got a couple of 2.5 Vandoren Tenor reeds for my bass clar. I've been practicing with both, alternating to break them in. I've noticed that the tone is really really airy in all registers and I can't get past top-of-the-staff G without squeaking horribly. I understand that some of this may be from switching brands and well, using a reed made for a sax, but will it work itself out as I get used to it more or are they always airier? I'd appreciate some insight... I play in our school's orchestra, Clarinet chamber choir and concert band, so if I should be using Bass specific reeds, please let me know! Thank you very much : )
