I just picked up a roll of weld cote 0.35 mig wire. I immediately noticed poor feed of the wire and it ran with a lot of popping and stuttering no matter how I adjusted wire speed. not worth the money even though its half the cost of Lincoln wire. just an observation and was wondering if anyone else had the same issues

I've had problems like that before too. I won't ever buy Prostar brand aluminum mig wire again. One spool clogged up at least 15 tips. :x It wasn't like the Prostar brand was cheaper, it was just crappy wire.
