To save everyone a couple of minutes, he doesn't get to the video subject till 2:40,
The main difference is the "surface finish". Flux core requires a lot of cleaning up afterwards (lots of spatter) vs gas. Don't know why he skims over this fact.

Just got my first multiprocess, and I chose Flux-core for the primary reason of waiting till my setup is solid before getting gas. Love getting this comparison video, since I primarily weld rebar to plate [thick metals].
I bought a Static Arc 3-in-1 welder for £149. I think it goes to a (supposed) 140A but the highest I've run it is 56A. When it's time for me to move to gas, I can switch to a solid wire and plug in the gas.
It's insane how cheap you can get into welding these days.
Love getting this comparison video
Thank you. I purchased a used job smart welder for little tacks and have been hesitant to invest into buying the wire. I think your video answered all my questions about it. Perfect for what I’m going to be doing for $60 plus the cost of some fluxcore wire. Did you use a larger tip size?
I like the progressive pace of the video keeps moving forward excellent
Glad you enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing, do you think they igual in strength?
Good video for a noob like me thank you
You used 030 for both. In this video you state that to use flux wire you were going to flip the roller to use the knurled side. But the knurled roller that comes with the MiG 90 is 6mm for 023 wire, do I understand that 6mm side knurled side can be used with the 8mm flux wire?
We'd recommend using the knurled side for flux for both .030 and .023, and make sure to flip polarity.
Good video thanks for sharing
Nice video. I’d like to make one of these battery holders for my work van, so thanks for the idea.
The problem with videos like these is that we only see "puddles" that seem to glue the pieces together.
Many times, the "puddles" can look really nice but once you put real stress on the pieces they come apart because they're not really WELDED.
It's difficult to see if the metal actually melted and "fused"........you just have to trust the "nice puddles".
when you use flux wire did you also use gas ?
No that's the only benefit of flux.
All that smoke straight into your lungs...
Natural filter.
