115A 3.2mm DCEP for the root you need to push a really tight arc. No Arc force.
On an inverter your arc force bumps the current to stop the arc extinguishing when you hold a tight arc.
I’m literally doing some comparison tests between different brands of 7018 now including some Esab although it will be with OK55.00 rather than OK 48.00.

Very helpful as ever . Funny enough, when I revisited the tests I’m running, I managed to get up to 120A, and eliminated the misbehaviour in the puddle by applying a wee bit of push angle and picking up the pace a fraction. The 48.00 are a thoroughly civilised rod .
