How often should a guy be going through tips?I am using flux core wire and it seems that i have to replace the tip quite often because the wire will quit feeding do to all the build up of gunk.

Does the DVI2 come with a factory solenoid installed? It does not give any information on this anywhere on the specs. I would think it would but who knows. Thanks all!

How thick of metal have you welded with your 120v. unit? Will it handle 1/8 stuff easily?
