It has come up that I didn't mention argon flow rates thanks everyone for letting me know. I pretty much always weld at 15 CFH of argon for mild steel, and I left it at 15 when I switched cups. I generally always do 8-10 second post flow (unless my tungsten is turning blue then you need more post flow), and my machine doesn't have pre-flow. Thanks for watching! Thanks for the questions
You can make a gas lenses from sink aerators $.15 a pop you are all welcome. Though if you control the air currents in the area you are working you can turn the gas down a bit and save some $$$ over time. Also found that controlling ambient air conditions the lenses become unnecessary. But they help when you are starting out.
Absolutely! I'm interested in trying everything you guys have to offer. Contact me at lightafireclay@gmail.com and let me know how to get in touch? Thanks for the opportunity. Fred

I'm not sure there was a huge change in the gas expansion, sorry if that's not a useful answer. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching!
Thanks for reminder. I pretty much always weld at 15 CFH and my post flow generally stays at 8-10 seconds. My machine doesn't have pre-flow. Thanks fir watching.

Great video Funny and useful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
OMG this is truly funny if you are a TIG Welder!!

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to look into it. I'm all about saving $$$ 😁
🙃😛 not Bad, think i'll take a look at the Rx kit
Hello，Thank you for your interest for our mig machine，now there are less stock for the mig200 . Would you like to review the mig130 machine?

Just curious what your flow rates were? Thanks for the video! And how much more Argon was expended using the lenses vs regular cups?

@@LightaFire_studio Thanks! Was just curious. I run at 15 pretty much all the time also.
Tip: leave your torch and rod over the spot you’ve just finished close & don’t wave it around!
Thanks for the tip. 🙂
When you talk about settings, you need to know the gas flow rate too.
