Here's my rant......
Got my 135TE in Jan, everything fine, finished the free reel of wire you get with it so bought a 5Kg one. Had problems with it with eratic wire feed so I went back to Machine Mart and the guy said " Well 5Kg is a heavy roll and it's only a small motor" I said on the box it can have a 5Kg etc etc.And basically I've gone back to the smaller reels. Not a big problem but a bit dissapointed. ( have a previous thread about it ).
Finished the origanal free gas and bought a double capacity CO2, everything was fine so after reading threads on here about Argon/CO2 mix, I decided to buy the mixed cylinder. Put it in on Sunday and no gas coming out. And it only starts to come out with the Vlave cranked fully open. Which concerns me as I don't know how much gas is coming out at that setting. We tried a different cylinder and regulator and it was the same on all the Argon/CO2 mix cylinders!
So I said to him what's the solution and the same guy said to stick with the CO2 only cylinder. What a load of crap.
I know the obvious solution is to upgrade to a Large bottle and regulator which I'm gonna do, but I'm really ****** off with them, as anybody else had problems with these Argon/CO2 mix disposable cylinders?
Rant over.
