Used on an HF Vulcan Omni-pro 220 multiprocess welder on 120V with base recommended settings set for 0.30 in the preprogrammed setting, but I dialed down the wire feed a little bit. Was surprised this was manufactured in China, but it burns really well, vs the US and Italian made stuff. My fave MIG is the Italian INE inefil for general MIG, but blue demon is my go-to wire for flux now. Good prep makes a difference even with flux core!
Cleanest burning FCAW wire I’ve ran in the Omni-pro 220!

This wire feeds smoothly and lays down a nice clean bead. Spatter is minimal and easy to remove. This is my go-to wire for exhaust system repairs and other rusty dirty steel that can't be cleaned well enough for MIG.
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2023
Really, really solid penetration. If you're doing a kit build or something, where you've got a bunch of pieces already filleted and beveled, this stuff will whip it together faster than any gasless FCAW wire I've ever used. Tac welds on tight joints are a cinch. Also, for the price, it's pretty good—certainly better than its closest-priced competitor here in the US, HF's Vulcan.
The bad:
You really, REALLY don't want to try to do any build up with this stuff, and when it spatters, it spatters BAD. Really the only way to deal with gaps is to do really fast and light stitches, wait for it to cool, clean, and take another pass. After four or so tries like this, you can fill in small gaps. Normally, that wouldn't be so bad, but I honestly found this to be a nightmare to clean. The slag itself isn't much of an issue, but it leaves brown powder everywhere that seems stickier than what I'm used to, and the bbs really dig into the surrounding metal. It's also the first wire I've had that made full-on bubbles when I was welding. They ended up looking like hatched eggshells or something.
Overall, I think Blue Demon is shooting for a flux wire that offers MIG-quality welds for hobbyists. It's really quick for perfectly mated joints, but if you're used to staring at a puddle, it soaks, globs, and sticks to everything *but* -itself- in a way that makes for some really unpleasant welding. At least in my experience, Forney's E71T works a little better for well-prepped galvanized tubing, at the cost of poorer penetration. Was excited to try BD's stainless wire, but now I'm a bit hesitant. If I do, I will be sure to make sure I've got all my joints as tight as possible before I give it a go.
