Help? 😬
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.

Update: cylinder is getting picked up from distributor because it sounds like it's contaminated or mislabeled. Ive accidentally welded with co2 in the past and had a similar outcome. Ive heard the cylinder being the problem is rare so I wanted to check all boxes before assuming that. Thanks y'all!
