Apparently there no such method as dragging a mig gun
Short circuit gets better peno then spray.
Oh and that I should have the tip recessed at least half inch.

Re: seeking input
I've used the aussie version of the thermal arc welder.
On 20deg day I've ran it for 7mins non stop on 28volts aprox and wire feed to suit.
Still not hit the cut out. This is on aussie 240volt 15amp
And it was one very hot weld!!

Re: DCEP differences between SMAW and GTAW?
U got it wrong there buddy.
Ep will always put more heat to the electrode then the work piece, and this is required on mig and stick (but not always) as it is required to melt the stick or wire.

Re: Total beginner!
400kpa for oxygen
And 100kpa for acetaline
Then just adj your flow at the torch to suit your cut.
Clean tips well!!! A dirty tip will pop and stop alot if dirty
