Default Gas Lenses and Cups

Recently changed over to an Arc-Zone Gas saver kit. Extra large glass cup with the extra large lens. I seem to get more color with the bigger set-up. Which seems like less gas coverage. I used to get more of a bright silver to a nice gold on stainless. Now I am getting way more color, like a lot of blue and purple. Being a bigger set up I have even upped my gas flow to like 35cfh. Also don't really like it with Aluminum. Tell me your thoughts or what I may be doing wrong.

ROCK ON!

Standard gas lens with the biggest cup available. May just go back to it. Still haven't gotten the hang of this yet or figured out what I was doing wrong.

35 cfm is overkill big time. Especially on aluminum.

Those things are way over kill for manifolds and the like. I also hate the pyrex cups. They break way to easily.I would just stick with your standard stuff. It's not like you're welding titanium.
