I bought mine from Sears, kind of a dumb move because I could have 
gotten a whole lot more for $300 than I got but it uses flux wire just 
fine and uses a bottle you would buy/rent from the welding supply...

I will say that one thing that makes more of a difference than you might 
think is if you have polarity set wrong.  The polarity is opposite for 
flux wire than it is for sheilded welding.  If it isn't welding for 
crap, check the polarity setting on the machine..
