Where do you buy them for cheap?

 

If you're in china...not sure you can get much cheaper than factory or rather country direct.

 

I live in the U.S.

 

ELS?

 

Ace stainless supply

 

Vibrant sells them now

 

What is els?

Still looking for some..dont know where ppl getting them for 2-3$


Anyone got some for scrap? Just want to practice on them

They are 5.70$ if you buy 200-300 at a time schedule 40

 

hope its better material than their tubing

 

The vibrant stuff is nice but you will laugh after you price one schedule 10 bend.

 

No, it's really not. The Vibrant stuff sucks, especially the AL.

 

i have never had problems with any of their stuff but to each their own i suppose

 

If you get a chance try out some different SS and AL from other manufacturers, like CRMB or AceStainless. I think you will notice a difference in how it welds.

Just my personal experience of course.

 

its not just you. vibrant tubing sucks. the ebay alum tubing welds better

 

The stuff from CX racing does weld pretty nice actually. Just gotta watch out for the real real real cheap stuff that smells like sulfur and bursts when you weld it lol.

 

I use thousands of dollars worth of stainless els from ace every few months I have also used vibrants I see no difference in the end results. I believe their aluminum is extremely over priced and prefer the cheap stuff but I think their quality is great. Like I said to each their own.
