    Those welds look really good for flux core wire, and I could tell by the sound of the weld that it was welding smooth.

    Seems to be that flux core really comes down to how it’s stored. Being vacuum packed is an indication that the results will be satisfactory at a minimum.
    Flux core that’s been stored on shelves for months sucks up a bunch or moisture and ruins the weld puddle.

      Interesting. I knew this was true for welding rods, but didn't know if it would matter with flux core. I remember welding with a spool that literally had a white haze on the outside of it... obviously not good... but it "worked fine" ... meaning, it held stuff together. I guessing it wouldn't pass any sort of inspection, haha.

      Their solid wire is only $43.99.... There have been a few people who mentioned Vevor, and recently a guy who just said "Too much Vevor. Unsubscribed" or something like that, haha. I said what I said because I thought it was amusing, haha.

      Really eh... I found that it was harder to weld with, it tended to develop more pockets and a lot of spatter... but never had an issue with brittle welds.
      I have have purchased lincoln from Canadian Tire several times and didn't think it was any different. Of course, the stuff on the department store shelves may sit there for a decade before it gets bought.... so maybe that has something to do with it.
      "hobart burns hotter for same size of Lincoln flux wire" That's interesting. Must have something to do with the flux formula. I did find the Vevor stuff to burn a little cooler than the Blueshield, but I assumed it was just in my head.

      @loweredexpectations4927 ya the pa was porous and the cracks was if I recall 80% of the welds I thought maybe it needed reversed polarity from all other wires but that made it even worst. I didn't mind hobart but it deepened on how thin of stuff I was welding, since 0.35 isn't a fan of lower amperage compared to say 0.30

      I have used 120 in the past for welding and plasma cutting... When I built my garage I made sure to have lots of power... but it still wasn't enough, and I just had to upgrade my panel this fall.
      I didn't take any loans for my garage, so it took me 3 years to "finish" it and some of the stuff that I got was used... In the end I got it the way I wanted ... with as much space as I had to work with...

    I was going to make a joke about the Vevor wire being 'fresher', but honestly... IF you old wire was really old, there very well could have been an oxide layer on it. You're a bit more humid than I am but not much (I'm 2hrs straight south of you near the big L!). One trick is to make a folded pad of brillo/scotch brite and wrap it over the wire just before it hits the first feed roller. Then hold it there with a bulldog clip. The wire then gets a bit of a polish, just before it gets used.

He puts more content out on Facebook or patron I'm not sure I don't do Facebook and I'm sure I'm not alone in saying donating isn't possible so it's only free content I get to see. What I'm getting at is your soon going to be faced with the temptation of offering extra benefits to those who can afford it early access etc. Every channel I've followed from the start that went that way lost my interest it's pointless commenting on a new video which has 100s from days or weeks ago and even though you have watched every video you can tell you have missed something. Sorry for the rant it just really annoys me when a good channel where people bounce interesting ideas around in the comments and it turns into 80% butt😙ing yes men 15% keyboard worriers and as little as 5% being useful constructive or just funny 🤬💨🙂.

      ​@@colinhamer6506 Yeah... the Turbo Heater is the unit that Dave was playing with in his most recent videos. My mind gets frazzled if I have too much stuff on the go. I'm currently trying to finish up a few obligations I have.
      Things are fairly uncertain for me at the moment, as I may have to move between now and April... While rebooting my seasonal business. Trying not to make too many promises between now and when I find out what's happening.
