So if I’m welding 18gauge sheetmetal with fluxcore even on 110 I’m having blow through at 15 volt 220 speed unless I run a stupid fast stringer bead! What’s input on this? .30 wire I’ve never mig welded much besides spot welds so it’s a lot diff and I figure flux would be best to learn  since everyone says it’s a pita, and gas cost! Same reason I’m relearning stick on 7018 instead of 6011 or 7014 bc 7018 restring is Satan so it trains me to have a good first strike!! Any good links to or sheets for thickness to volt and wire speed for mig? Gonna get gas ASAP but want to get hang of mig first and dunno what size bottle I’m going with I like having this welder portable already had it on a job site for repairs and it’s convenient to say the least
