I'm not getting signs of no shield gas, I know what that looks like, I get
high welds no
matter what I do.

No shielding gas will give spongy black welds. A high profile means too
cold. If you turn it up and it's still a high bead, something's wrong
inside, or with the power level controller. Or circuit board. Or all.
Sounds like time for a trip to the welder hospital.
