    I pefer 1.5% lanthanated and ceriated over everything else. Haven't tried hybrid yet.

    Maybe this is why the 2% Lanthanated ones are relatively hard to come by... So do they act/perform differently when welding, or is it really just a question of how well they hold their shape?

    That video is exactly why I got the 2% Lanthanated ones. I'm curious what people see in the characteristics of the different tungstens other than the ability to hold shape.

    Ability to start an arc can also vary radically between tungsten types. (Such as comparing say, zirconiated vs lanthanated.)

    Jake,
    Which kind of tungsten do generally prefer; or which one/s do you prefer under what/which conditions?
