To update, the issue was the bottle of gas we received. I purchased a new mix of "F5" and had a much better cut.

We just had the same issue. Upon closer inspection it was the gas. F5 is 95% Nitrogen and 5% Hydrogen. The tank they sent us was 95% Argon and 5% Hydrogen.
Sorry for the necropost, but I just wanted this solution to be available for future troubleshooters.
