Zapp or Zapp Plus 2? Which permanent jewelry welder fits you?

The Zapp is Sunstone's entry-level welder and a low-cost way to start your permanent jewelry business.

  • Orion Premium Stylus: a more comfortable stylus that makes your work more efficient
  • Stylus extension: extra stylus cord length, useful when you work with customers at events
  • More power options: set the energy as low as 1 Joule or as high as 30 Joules [controleer voor Plus 2]
  • Faster stylus maintenance: sharpen your electrode in less time
  • Standard electrode: no more guessing which electrode size to order
  • Better bundle options: choose a set that suits your business and save

If you want more value for your budget, the Zapp Plus 2 is the smarter starting point.

A true permanent jewelry welder, not an adapted machine

Many low-cost welders were not designed for permanent jewelry. The Zapp was, and it is made in the USA. That means years of safe, reliable use. You avoid unexpected electric shocks, and you never need to modify a stylus to get rid of an unwanted buzz or jolt.

Warranty and support

Sunstone backs the Zapp with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. On top of that, you can always ask me a question directly. Customers tell me that's one of the reasons they choose C-Welding.

The features you need to weld fine chain

The Zapp lets you choose an energy setting between 3 and 10 Joules in steps of one Joule. That is the right amount of energy to close most fine chains and jump rings. The welder is argon-ready and connects to any argon source within seconds, such as the Argon Mini tank, for cleaner, stronger welds and happier customers. For consistent results, use high-quality micro TIG tungsten electrodes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Orion mPulse PRO and the Orion mPulse?

If you're doing fine jewelry work, like welding jump‑rings, thin chains, delicate metals (small items, gold/silver, maybe small copper pieces), the regular Orion mPulse is often enough: precise, clean welds, good for “standard” permanent jewelry or light repair.

If you expect heavier use, or want to weld thicker/heavier metals, larger pieces, mixed metals or tougher tasks (e.g. chain repair beyond basic chains, small manufacturing, more load‑bearing welds), the PRO is more future‑proof: higher power lets you handle tougher jobs, more range gives flexibility, and you won’t quickly outgrow the machine.

For a mixed workshop where you sometimes need small delicate welds and other times stronger welds — the PRO gives you flexibility, whereas the regular weld is more limited to lighter jobs.

What metals can I weld with this machine?

The Orion mPulse is designed primarily for precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. The PRO version can also handle slightly heavier metals, mixed alloys, and small copper/brass plates. Very thick metals (>3 mm) may require multiple pulses or another welder designed for industrial metal.

How precise are the welds? Can I control the energy?

Both models offer precise energy control: fine increments at lower energy (under ~15 J), and 1 J increments above that. This allows delicate control for small chains while enabling stronger welds on heavier pieces with the PRO version.

What safety features does it have?

  • Digital pulse control prevents overheating.
  • Grounding clip ensures electrical safety.
  • Minimal spatter reduces burn risk.
  • Short pulse duration keeps heat localized.

Always wear protective eyewear when welding.

How portable is it? Can I use it at pop-up events?

Both units are relatively compact and lightweight. The mPulse is easier to move for small setups, while the PRO is slightly larger due to additional power. Both can work on a portable table, but ensure access to a grounded outlet.

What about maintenance and consumables?

  • Electrodes: Tungsten electrodes are consumables; lifespan depends on weld volume.
  • Maintenance: Keep the stylus and grounding clip clean; check connections regularly.
  • Support: Sunstone offers replacement parts, support guides, and consumables globally.
