I had never used a gas lens assembly in a TIG torch but immediately realized I had to turn the regulator off from 12cfm. up to about 8 cubic feet per minute. When I was at my local weld shop I noticed they were selling the exact same ones just at a higher price. The narrower and wider gas column provides a longer tungsten lead that compensates well for larger torch cups. I doubt I'll go back to the standard collet in my TIG setup.
