I have the non-gas Flux core model, some thing I have done:

- Converted it over to DC with some big caps and a bridge rectifier. (Tutorials for this are everywhere)
- Upgraded the wire to Hobart .030
- I do have an auto darkening helmet

I'm getting better at not burning holes in stuff, the thinner wire might help. It still splatters a lot. Its only power settings are high/low. I'm usually running it on high.
