I use a mig, but I use argon with mine. You're saying your getting good beads if you run them of on an open sheet of metal, but are you?

I'd say your going to have to play with your set up. If your talking a butt weld the gap between the pieces should be no wider then the wire. When you weld with a mig you should not be getting 'blobs' of metal, that's the biggest advantage of a mig small tight welds.
