I'm no pro but I did take a couple of welding classes at work. For out of position welds first turn down the heat from what you use when welding flat. Try 75-80% of what you use flat. You will have to play with it some to find what works for you. The correct way to weld vertical is bottom up weaving side to side as you go up. I have found I can do a good job welding top down if I hold the stick at a steep up angle toward the puddle. That seems to hold the puddle in place long enough for it to stick and the welds have all held for me. Don't expect your welds to look as nice as the ones you do flat and you will need to burn rods to learn the technique.
