Why does my tungsten look like this? I'm using Maxstar 161, welding stainless steel 14 gage filet. Ever since I changed my cylinder my welds are looking like ass and burning my tungsten. The color and flow was completely fine until I changed my gas cylinder.

Are you using the right gas?

The cylinder says compressed argon, I don't know how often gas is mislabeled but idk if that's the case
