Best Auto Darkening Welding Helmet?

[NJT5047]

I'll have to try some of the gel....Pam smells pretty good when burnt.  I use Pam on my outdoor grill.  That smell would make me hungry.  That's a problem. 
Anything to save on production costs.  Man I've burned up some contact tips lately.   I sorta weld by "feel" and sound.  Then  stop, look, and see if I actually stuck anything together!  Not too good! 
I'm going to go down and check out some of the upscale helmets this weekend.  Gotta do something. 
Got some thin metal welding projects to get going on...haven't done much since the eye surgery.  Don't see well at all up close.  BIG magnifying lens oughta fix that..I hope.
Thanks, JR

Neatest trick I ever saw.
Met a welder once who had a special pair of glasses made, primarily for welding.
I think all who wear bifocals know what a pain it is in the neck to always be tilting your head back to see what you are welding thru the bifocals.
Well this guy had the standard close vision lens on the bottom of the lens and then he had an additional close vision ground into the top of the lens. That way he was tilting his head down to see where he was welding.

How do you hold the corrective lens that you can get at welding store in the cheaper Auto Darkening  helmets.
Thanks
