I never had one of them but did use one that a friend had a couple times. With flux wire you dont ever actually see the bead,--or I never did. My Century 200 I run the heat up probably 3/4 of the way on the dial and the wire speed about the same and its hot! Thats for thick metal, never messed with thin stuff since I always burn thru so I have a lot of test setting to do before I tackle thin with it!
