Anyone bought tungstens from China on Ebay? Prices are good but what about quality? These are the ones I was looking at.

I've found it pretty hard to find tungstens not made in China.

How much is it from them? I had them send me a free sample of there Tri-mix which workes pretty well with my 250EX. Im still experimenting to see what I like best. No prices listed on their site. Just havnt got around to calling them for prices yet.

I love DiamondGround ...Best arc control to me. When i got my sample there was a full price list included with it. Might want to look over the paperwork. Ive ordered several packs from them...Good stuff and very friendly...

I just bought some U.S. made Sylvania 1.5 Lanth from Arc-Zone. I started using Arc-Zone on a recommendation and because they are on the West Coast and shipping time is a lot better. Their prices are average, not fantastic but reasonable. They shine with their customer service. The day after I got my first order I got a phone call asking me if everything was O.K. and if I was satisfied. One of the items on my next order was on backorder so the called me and asked me if I needed them to split the order saying there wouldn't be any additional shipping charge.

That's customer care and I'm buying from them whenever I can now even though I have to pay California tax.

As a side note, Rod and Bill at AirGas in Santa Rosa, CA., take care of me pretty darn well too but I can usually get what I need from Arc-Zone faster.
