@kevin... Yeah 3/32" is next size smaller than 1/8". Pretty much for the home fabricator, nobody uses anything larger than 1/8". Also, 7018 rod goes "bad" with moisture out of the box in as little as 8 hrs. Many welding job site specs call for 7018 to be out of the rod heater NO LONGER than 4 hrs max. Otherwise, the welder can be fired if he's caught using 7018 that has sat out longer.

How long can you expect welding rods to last on the shelf? Is there a difference in shelf life comparing these different rods? Do you keep any in the cooler to prolong life? I always struggled with low hydrogen 7018, mainly because it was harder to start and it seemed I needed more current. Does it help to do 7018 using a DC technique?

@spelunkerd Welding rod will last a very long time if it is kept dry. Pretty much anywhere but Arizona you should store your rod in a watertight container at the least. Most welder will store the rod in a dry box near the welder so it is at hand. You can make a dry box just by putting a low wattage light bulb in a metal box. Yes, it needs to be hooked up and just leave it on all the time. You may have to go higher watt\age depending on your location.
