Is this torch for Mig or Tig?

Sounds like a very newbie question doesn't it? but give me a chance here...

Can anyone elaborate? this torch is a new one on me

Should this post be in the mig or tig section?

Did you read the second line?

I have the 26 version of this for my TIG. I like their older ergo torches better. They seem to have looked at CK and using a flex cable instead of rubber as earlier. The cover is so stiff though so it took me nearly a year to find out about the cable....

I have seen an old tig welder in the past with a wire feed. Is this torch for one of them machines?

Some Tig sets have euro style connection torches. There is no wire fed through it just gas. It's just connected like a mig but it's just a Tig torch.

Can you put tungsten wire in it

That is the type of tig torch the EWM Pico uses, its got the mig type euro conector.

Tig, I actualy had one, they told me it was a flex head till coolant started pooring out of it.
