your the daft one ryan prick.
but yeah the 7018 is my favorite. it just looks so much nicer

E 6010 is more likely than not -the- toughest electrode to use. That's why we're learning how to use it first.. Dont start with 7018, whatever you do! Its sooo easy.

Yea my teacher started us out on 6010 rods to cause they are easier to get stuck to the metal.I agree with you that 7018 rods are so easy to use.
ok uh with a rod, is it safe to kinda hold on to it, to have better control?

yeah its save to hold on to it as long as your runing on dc just make sure your not useing an excaliber or a p1 rod they burn hotter and make sure if you do hold on to it your not touching anything to ground your self out like say for instance i was welding i would not be leaning against to pices of metal with my bare skin ac current will just through like kinda throw y ou a little or tingle
yes just read what nurvina said.. and with some good pair of gloves.. you will be fine..

if your going to start ark welding your best want to learn to stick weld start of with 60/10 then move up to 60/11 then 70/18. yes mig is easy but you should honestly learn to stick weld. once you learn that mig and flux core comes natural.
