Argon / Helium Mix for Mig Aluminum

I am using a 110 mig welder with Aluminum spool gun, my welds do not seem to get hot enough compared to what I see online from other guys. Can I do a Argon 90% to Helium 10% to increase the heat? Other suggestions?

Mig Weld Aluminum

I am looking at a Miller 141 and spoolmate 100 to weld 1x1 1/8" aluminum tubing. Good idea? Anything you guys know that would be better and can still run on 110v?
