I did a search but didn't find much. What gas are you using for your MIG welder? 100% CO2, CO2/argon, or 100% Argon?

I use 100% CO2 but then I only weld steel and my welder (Miller Passport)
was specifically designed for using CO2 in paint ball cylinders. It is inverter based and is a self contained 50 lb suitcase. One 12 oz paint ball cylinder is good for over 45 minutes of trigger time, which is quite a bit of welding and costs about $2.00 to fill. --- bill |
