Vulcan Vs Titanium AC/DC TIG Welder Review.

[@richsharp1524]

Mike. Thanks so much for the video. After your first video on the Vulcan 205 I rolled the dice and bought one. Couldn’t be happier. My father has been a welder at nuclear plants and a welder instructor for years. Always has used Lincoln and Hobart and miller at the fab shop he is at now. I told him about my 205 and he just kinda laughed. Then he came over and used the 205 and said Wow. !!! I can not believe how this machine performs. He kept thinking like most people it was from harbor freight and would be a joke. And to my disbelief….. said his next aluminum welder will be a Vulcan. Again he has used them all. I told him about your Chanel and showed your video. But seeing it wasn’t doing it for him. Using it. That proved it to him. Thanks for such a well done tutorial as always. He also likes my 170 titanium. But liked the Vulcan much better with all the functions like you mentioned 😊👍

Thanks Mike! I like all the Leonard Nimoy pics (and all the other ones) "hidden" in the video. It was fun. Great editing. The last few videos, I have noticed all the little extras you have been doing in the past few videos.

Mike, I'm behind on watching like seven of your video's I have to catch up on them. I'm still alive and well. I'll be watching and commenting tonight. Thanks again for producing down to earth AWESOME material!

[@Mikefestiva]

It’s really good to hear from you Joe! I had been wondering how you have been. 🙂👍

[@apollo280zx]

I dig it. Great comparison and recommendations. What I really appreciate about your content is the no-BS, straight forward info that most of the common DIY garager’s want to know. Quick suggestion- I’ve worked in manufacturing maintenance for a long time and one of the biggest problems for most machinery is clean airflow. Over time dust and debris from shop use and the environment in general will build up and can cause issues. I use a high flow universal filter media on all my machines that have an open intake like the back of those welders. Just place a few strips of Velcro tape around the welder intakes and the filter media clings to it. Easy to maintain and replace and it keeps those internal components clean for a long life of use.

[@DavidHoskins-c6c]

Mike, I bought the Hynade welder after watching one of your videos. My experience is no reflection on you. I just wanted you to know about my experience. I had my most experienced welder help get this welder tuned in, however it would not keep the high frequency on. It would start the torch but then go off and destroy the tungsten. Hynade eliminated their phone number and do not respond to emails. The 3 year warranty is not valid if you can not reach anybody. I’ll probably switched to the Vulcan for my home use. I owned a company with over 50 tig welding personnel so I have been around the process. I had all Miller dynasty welders and 95% was aluminum tig. I sold the business after 20 years and two locations. I do a lot of mig but never mastered tig. I do appreciate your videos. Thanks for all your videos.

So many TIG welder reviews omit whether or not it has high frequency start. The most important factor in my mind.

[@johnpappas2060]

Mike, on first using the Titanium, we had the spread out flame. We blamed it on the 2 tungsten rods they gave you; however, you experiences are more than mine. So I’m going to follow your advice and get an argon flow regulator. Thanks 😊 so much for your excellent videos

[@onlymctruth2430]

Great comparison, my first tig was the 205 and I've beat it up on thin and thick aluminum. For me its worth the extra $ for sure.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

I have a Titanium 200 multi process welder. Bought it about a year ago and so far everything has worked great. Although I haven’t tig welded with it yet, mainly because I haven’t needed to weld any aluminum. But I have used the hell out of the mig function and I can’t complain. Never had an issue with regulators or over heating etc… My only real complaint is mine didn’t come with a pedal. I haven’t really looked into getting one for it cause I wasn’t sure that it was an option until seeing this video. Oh, great video by the way! And thanks for the review.

[@Mikefestiva]

I also own the Titanium unlimited 200 it been working great for over 3 years now. The TIG is a DC only TIG so aluminum is out for that machine unless you buy a spool gun. These welders are AC/DC welders and both are high frequency start.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

Thanks for making the video you helped out a lot. There's not a big enough price difference to justify the Titanium. For a couple hundred extra bucks may as well just get the Vulcan. You helped me make up my mind. Thanks again!

[@HighSpeedGolfCart]

Hey Mike, how about doing a comparison on the yeswelder ds250p ac/dc tag like you said you were going to do a couple months ago. With the current deals on the yeswelder you can buy an AC DC tig with all the adjustments for 600 bucks. it'd be nice to know (since you have one) how durable, how long-lasting and how good the welder is. It would also be nice to have your opinion on how well it really works and is it something you would buy again since you've had it for a while.

[@Mikefestiva]

Hi! Yes I will get one out soon I want to have a little more time on the machine before i complete the review. Thanks for watching!

[@TheMulk777]

[@rogerbivins9144]

I've had the Vulcan 220 mig welder for about 5 years now. I bought it to fabricate my ornamental handrailing at home. I've ran maybe 100 lbs of wire thru it in that 5 yrs so it's used only occasionally but just built two entrance gates and it runs like it did the day I got it. Been thinking of buying a tig machine and for hobby use, knowing how well the Vulcan mig rig has done, it's hard not to consider buying another Vulcan.

Probably just going to go with the Titanium when I end up getting one of these. I don’t think I really need the extra features, I just want to mess around with Tig some more and do some basic repairs. Also the Vulcan has went up in price and I don’t think another three or four hundred is worth it for me.

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

Nice review Mike, I was wondering how those two welders stacked up against each other. I'm a welder and metal fabricator by trade, used the old Miller Dialarc for tig for years then the Syncrowave. Welding thin aluminum as in 35 to 80 thou the added adjustments are very handy and help do a better job. I know I'll be building some homebuilt aircraft fuel tanks in the future so I may look at getting the Vulcan over the Titanium. As for the size of the foot peddle... it's the same size as the one Miller has used for some 50 years now. I should know I've worn a couple of them out. Simple design means simple to fix. Have a good week.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for watching Kriss 👍

[@melgross]

The smaller pedal for the Vulcan is a direct copy of the Tweco/ESAB pedal I have on my ESAB. I can’t speak to what’s inside, but it the gold standard design. A few companies make copies.

[@aspendell209]

If you talked about duty cycle, I missed it. Like if you're welding 1/2" steel on max amps, how long can you weld a bead, and then how long does it have to cool down before you can weld again on each model, and at each input voltage?

[@melgross]

Very good overview Mike. There are many different manufacturers and importers of welders. Many of which aren’t “real” companies, but guys importing the minimum number from a larger Chinese exporter. You find these on eBay, and sometimes Amazon. I tell people to stay away from them. Even if they work at first, there is absolutely no support. Harbor Freight makes good welders these days, at the price they sell them at, very competitive with other brands. They aren’t industrial quality, but neither is the price, and HF does generally have good support.

[@HOBODAVE]

Got it in 1 day since Everlast is only about 40mi from me in South SanFran, CA I like 'em both. I like your edit showing Mr. Spock on the display and the 'Live Long and Prosper' over the VULCAN name. Thanks for this vid, Cheers.

[@Mikefestiva]

I bought the ProTig 200 and also really liked it, really easy to set up, good machine, I thought the Titanium would have had similar features to the original ProTig 200 but they really simplified the new Titanium almost to a point where the operator has zero input in any settings. The Vulcan 200 just had about everything you want, only lacking pre and post flow. Take care 👍🙂

[@boysonthefarm1584]

Hey Mike! Thanks for going over these two great welders for those of us venturing outside of mig welding. Have you done a video on a budget fab table? That is what my next project will need to be. Thanks!

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my new video 👍 I haven’t done a video on Fab tables yet, I basically went from a small home made welding/cutting table for years to the Langmuir system table and as nice as it is, it’s definitely not a budget table. There’s a lot of tables out there in the $100 range like Harbor freight sells, I will do some research and try to put together a video 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion!

[@markmetzger5430]

Great review and information Mike. Thanks for your time and effort. Being an ordinary Muggle, my first reaction would be to lean towards the Titanium and I wonder if there would be a way to adapt the foot control from the Vulcan to the Titanium. Seems that having the foot control from the vulcan and a flow meter would make the Titanium an excellent choice for the neophyte, even though it may be "good enough" as delivered.

[@Mikefestiva]

Thanks for checking out my video Mark! Honestly the amp pedal that comes with it works completely fine, it’s just big and looks clunky and cheap, but it varies the amps just fine. I would buy a $40 Argon flow meter though, the stock regulator was not good. The Titanium TIG welds aluminum and steel really well, the auto set was spot on 👍

[@rodhawkins5037]

I was wandering if my titanium was using to much gas,seamed like it went through the last bottle quick. It's my first time using gas so i don't have anything to compare too. Thanks for the insight Mike. 👍

As a professional welder I'll agree it's nice not to have to set up all settings... just turn it on and go to work.

I'm curious how they can sell the titanium tig200 at $899 and the Vulcan protig205 at $1299 with the limited features and amps when the Primeweld 225 is only $869. Am I missing something of did Harbor Freight price themselves out of the hobby grade welding market? When these machines first came out they were hundreds cheaper and seemed to be priced appropriately...

[@Mikefestiva]

I think the biggest difference would be these welders especially the Vulcan has memory and the interface is a lot different with the digital settings then the Primeweld with all manual settings.

I reached the same conclusion. If the Omni pro offered AC I would have probably went that route.

[@rad1876]

In Canuck land we have Princess Auto (PA), same idea as HF. I’m curious how the PA tig/stick machines would compare.

[@christiannelson7899]

Hey Mike, a few years ago, I bought a Vulcan omnipro 220, because I thought I could do Tig/mig/stick with just one welder. I haven't gottent a Tig torch or pedal yet because upon more research, I found out it would not do aluminum. Then there are some who say it can do aluminum, but it's just more difficult due to AC/DC lack of being able to change. I also didn't want to buy a whole other tank pure argon, and different regulator if I wouldn't be able to Tig aluminum anyway. I really like how it mig welds, and I got to try stick welding with it, and it did well with that. Is there any point to getting a Tig torch and pedal for this? Or should I just get a purpose built Tig machine? I don't see much need for Tig other than occasional for what I do. Lower investment might be torch and pedal, but if it isn't going to work well, might be better to just use mig. What do you think?

[@CarbonGlassMan]

Thanks for the video. I've welded over the years in the body shop and at home with a mig but I've never used a tig. I need to do some frame rail repairs to my truck but I think the mig is probably better for that kind of work. A Lincoln Handy Mig isn't the best welder, and it has almost no adjustments for the settings, but it does alright for how I use it. It looks like the Titanium 200 tig will be better for my needs. Not sure if it's the best for doing tiny welds on gun parts though.

I wonder if you could modify the Titanium pedal to a lower profile? It seems possible with a cnc plasma table, Just a thought. Also do you think the harbor freight flow meter is a good purchase?

This might be a little off topic but can you make a mig lead longer? If so how do you go about doing it. I have the omnipro 220 and hate how short the mig gun lead is. And the ground clamp lead, i have a grip on extending the ground clamp lead but the mig gun i have no clue if its even possible, anyways back to the video, great as usual, ive been wondering how the new titanium tig was since it came out so was pretty excited when i saw this, thanks!!

I’m literally looking at getting the Titanium Tig since I have the titanium unlimited 200 and would like to get a unit just for tig so I can leave my Mig set and also get a damn foot peddle.

It works good, just plan on buying a $40 Argon flow meter on Amazon. All and all the auto set works great 👍 Thanks for checking out my new video 🙂
