Would not recommend. Mug and flux core being wire feeding processes both require direct current.
A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

oh the reason i am asking is due to my Metal Man FC125 having a AC output current and i am kinda wondering if that is why it kinda welds poorly ie compleat lack of peneration on anything thick.

I mean I guess if that's all you got than I guess just don't weld anything that is structural. I mean if your welding up something that weighs a pound sure but oh we than that you probably shouldn't. Lack of weld quality on anything thick or thin.
