might be the quality of your tip dip, all its supposed to do is keep the little hot ball bearings from building up on the very end of your tip, and inside the very end of the nozzle. and some wires spatter a lot more than others creating problems. it won't clean the build up off the tip, you have to do that, then use the tip dip sparingly to keep the build up down. flux cored wire gives much more problems than gas shielded wire too. If your using flux core wire, you need an inch of stickout to preheat the flux also.
