New to welding and the helmut I bought was like a 30$ helmut from harbor freight but I have never liked it so just looking for ideas on what I should look for in a helmut. Very new to all of this. But am liking it so far and the helmut I currently have I feel like I can't see anything. Any help or suggestions

Just got an Optrel Crystal 2.0 hood. First time I looked through it, thought "holy shit, this is amazing!" I thought my 10+ year old Lincoln was awesome, but this thing is in an entirely different universe. Comfortable, and weighs next to nothing. The blue tint while darkened is a little weird, and will take getting used to. The optical clarity is super sharp, and the color....wow. Photo was taken through the hood. The downside is, it'll be one less excuse for why my welds suck!😀

Fun little project, piping for Instrumentation air measurements. 8 pipe , 150 lb mating flange welded with 316/316L -16 1/8 rod smaw . 110 amps DC + 3 pass. Never really ran stainless stick, but I always heard the the slag has a tendency to pop off at you, the funny thing is the slag keeps popping even after you clean the weld, kind like jumping beans. Was able to find a small box rod on the store shelf for about 115 bucks.
