I got a chance to buy a 2015 210ext for a steal, should I keep saving for a typhoon or get the 210ext to learn on? I think I might be overwhelmed with the typhoon. Been MiG and stick welding for years. Only ever tig on a primeweld
Have you done any AC, wondering how that is without a water cooler. Can you also provide information on the CK TORCH you bought specifically for the 230. I’m upgrading soon, have a smaller Everlast rig that’s only DC.
I’ve used the same CK torch on my 210EXT and the Typhoon, it’s not specific to either. I called Salem Welding Supply in Salem, OH and told them what I wanted & they placed the order and shipped it to me, so unfortunately I don’t have specs on it…although it’s one phone call away if that’s what you wanted to do. I’ve maxed out the 210 on AC issue free without a water cooler. It would be nice to have, but definitely not a necessity.
Appreciate the reply. I’ve been happy with my little 161STH but it’s just that, little and only does DC. I just see a few issues pop up with the coolers and I’m a hobbyist so someone in your position not having a cooler and pumping out work is very helpful. I was concerned that AC would heat up the torch too much. Great content and thanks
I heard in a demo video that these things have even DC waveform adjustment for when you're running pulse? Have you tried that? Is it useful? Or seem like Overkill / a gimmick
AC only, but the DC pulse settings have so much adjustability. The biggest improvement with this machine vs the older 210EXT is arc stability and consistency. It’s like everything is absolutely perfect every single time. It’s hard to describe, because I didn’t have any complaints with the old machine until I experienced the next level of control.
Heavly planning on getting the Typhoon 230 or 330 but dont want any of the included torches. Gonna email Everlast to see if they are open to retaining all the included torches and swapping them out for their NOVA 18 Flex-Neck Tig Torch 12.5 FT. Would be a waste of money having those torches and never using them since i would be using CK18 water cooled torch. If they say no then i would have to just forget about that lovely LCD touch screen and get Primweld 325x instead which gives you the option of purchasing your desired torch without forcing a package on you.
Doesn't have trapezoid wave form as well? Been hoping to find some commentary/ review on whether or not a trapezoid waveform would make a noticeable difference, from the perspective of a customer / average welder, but everything I've been able to find this far is coming from the mouth of Everlast employees / ambassadors themselves, so if it was relatively useless or unnecessary I doubt they would state that LOL
I weld stainless 99% of the time, so take this with a grain of salt. In my experience wave form is a personal preference thing, like most settings. I actually haven’t welded any aluminum with my new 230 yet, but I’ll do a video on it when I do!
Just got my 230, switched from 210ext after 5 years, had no issues with 210 btw. GREAT machine! 🔥
The more I run the 230 the more impressed I’ve been with it! Definitely a impressive upgrade

I’m sure they’d be willing to work with you, if nothing else maybe a few bucks extra for the torch you want vs the ones you don’t
