I'll be using .030 flux core mig wire (I don't have a tank of gas to use solid wire mig yet)

While I was experimenting with the welder I found myself burning through the steel pretty frequently. A quick Google search said to set the welder to 16-18V and 160-180 IPM.

Does this sound reasonable for 17 gauge mild steel?

What else should I do to avoid burning holes in these?
