Jiles: I've got the same welder and have had it for about 15 years. I keep it loaded with 0.023" solid-core and use gas. Remember that flux-core uses the opposite polarity of solid-core, and you need to swap the leads if you swap wire types. I have a AC/DC stick welder for anything too heavy for the little MIG, but it's been a very good welder.
