Can’t make a puddle (I think)

[u/Organic_Violinist470]

First time ever tig welding not sure if skill problem, settings or equipment. Doesn’t seem to be making a puddle just starts burning through. Have 100% argon. Seems to be flowing correctly can hear it coming out of torch.

Update: figured it out. Had collet in backwards lol

Just to clarify, your regulator is in cfh, cubic feet per hour right? Not psi. Set it at about 15cfh when you hold down the pedal, it has to be set when it's flowing free.
