Overhead welding with 7018 gave me fits when I was in welding school.
But once I figured out that I needed to set the amps to almost as hot as I would weld in flat and horizontal, things went smoother....as long as I used a tight arc.
The same goes for 5/32" 7018. And if you have the arc control setting aka "Dig" on some machines, setting it high allows you to drop the amps just a bit to 165and still not stick the rod.
Machines all weld differently so your amperage may vary, but I hope this video gets you going in the right direction.

    Used your vids to help me learn how to run 5/32 overhead last weekend for a job where I had never used it before. Got the full time job offer with them yesterday. Thanks a ton

    Great to see another video Jody. I see you are still exercising that 210 MP. Those things have sure gone up in price as people realized how good they are. Watching you demonstrate how not to weld overhead sure takes me back to my learning days. I vividly remember laying under our bailer welding something up, slag dripping on me, molten metal doing the same. Luckily, if you can call it that, we had an asbestos blanket that we would put over us when we had to lay under something. But as we know, asbestos isn't a good thing. I can still remember taking the blanket off and seeing all the fibers float off in the air. I cringe thinking about it now days.

    The only thing I do different is to move at a speed that the puddle flows just to the light line of the last bead. ( The point where the arc light reflects off the highest point of the bead your tying in to) This makes a very flat weld, not rope like.

    Interesting that the metal cohesion is strong enough to prevent the low-density slag from wetting the steel and floating into the overhead joint as a slag inclusion. Is this ever a problem?

I did notice way different sound and smoother arc,not as violent as when using arc setting. Will this hurt my machine,any pros or cons to doing stick welding while using Tig lift setting.
