Reply:OH YEAH,  i seen the plain black 3000 for 230 with shipping i'm going to get this or the nexgen i think..speedglas would be nice but i dont want to buy a lot of clear front plates. I never did a lot of mig but for tig i never had much of a problem. Cant wait to hear what your reviews are... It would take a few days of real testing because they are always nice at first.
Reply:the vista is very heavy. I really like the nexgen
Reply:i have not recived the helmets yet, i picked the welder and everything else up today but the helmets havent come in. the guy at the lws is dying to get them in. hes thinkin about stocking them. i tigged today with my regular helmet. i will let you know soonMillermatic 211weldpack 3200 squirtgunsquare wave 200victory journeyman kitHypertherm 30xptoo much other crap to listtinkerer extraordinaire
Reply:ok, change of plans. the helmets wernt here today still. he called lincoln and they told him the patriot was due there anytime and the heavy metal helmet was backordered until SEPTEMBER 23 . i needed to do a bunch of welding today . so i ended up with 2 miller elite helmets.so, unfortunatly i will not be able to comment on them for youMillermatic 211weldpack 3200 squirtgunsquare wave 200victory journeyman kitHypertherm 30xptoo much other crap to listtinkerer extraordinaire
Reply:well would the weight make up for the solar power because youll never to use batteries?im not doing enough welding right now to need any other helmet, but if the time comes i hope there is more imput about this. thanks
