MIG, is an acronym....Metal Inert Gas. Flux core is just a "wire-feed" welder, the two are not the same. Somehow any wire feed welder has gotten the term MIG, like it is generic.
I use a small 110v unit with .023 wire. It takes less power/heat to use the smaller wire and it is far more portable. Smaller machines have limitations as to material thinkness, but for the home hobbiest, it should be plenty.

to be correct, to use flux core wire ( inner shield) you must also reverse the polarity of the machine
