The high voltage setting can be turned on by twisting the voltage knob to a higher voltage ~40. This should be your default setting when using the powder coat gun. You can take the diffuser off while using the high voltage setting if you prefer - this will get you a narrower cone of powder spray.
Thick Powder coat
When powder coat is applied too much, it often appears similar to the first 2 images below, a dimpled texture, or a dripping texture. This is caused when the coating of powder is too thick, and when it goes into the oven to cure, the powder melts and starts either dripping or creating a dimple texture due to uneven curing. The 3rd image is a example of a use case of low voltage, where the inside of the corner does not fully coat, so low voltage is needed.
