You can also use the MIg wire, hold one end with some pliers place the other end in a drill and give a few spins. This will make the wire straight and easier to use.
David Gardner is a master metalmen, he also sells a very nice DVD that show gas welding. A small clip of the DVD

Eric, the TIG wire being straight would be the only difference?
What I do is run the MIG wire on a drill through a piece of brake line in the vice. But if I didn't have to do that, it would be nice.
