For a no-gap setup like you used, I use the highest or 2nd highest setting on my mig (out of 4) and then adjust the wire feed speed. Usually a 2-count blip does a pretty good job. If you're not getting good penetration, try either upping the amps, or reducing the wire feed speed with a longer duration. If you're burning thru, crank the wire feed speed up. If the gap is larger, you'd need to adjust either the trigger time and/or increase wire feed speed. Once you play with the settings a bit, you'll figure out what works best.
