I also got a Hario V60 for pourover - 20g for 300ml. Medium grind - around 10 clicks from closed. Add 30g water, let sit for about 30 seconds, then slowly pour the rest, never letting it soak through until it's dry. Takes about 2-3 minutes total. Unlike the french press, you have to sit there the whole time to pour, but it's worth it for light and medium roasts.

Have you tried any of the mods on the Hario Slim?
Hario Mini Mill Mod Guide - Coffee Brew Guides
I'm almost tempted to buy a real grinder sometimes, making coffee for more than 2 people isn't fun.
For myself personally, I like to use 12 clicks for French Press and 8 clicks for the V60.
