Gas running out sounds like a planning problem to me.
Mig, stick, TIG all have their place.

Oh gosh...on my Lincoln(230v) running .023 I would get fused ends from not pulling back and then when I hit the trigger again the wire would ball up in the cable just as it exited the drum. Total pain in the ass. .030 is better though.
Most times my MIG is just like that, turn it on and weld. Simple and easy. I've even had the same gas cylinder for about 2.5 years. Last a long time.
