Burn taste question

The Istick is notoriously overpowered. Try adjusting the voltage way down and then bumping it up one volt at a time. If it starts to taste burnt youve gone too far.
The istick doesn't down regulated. What ohm is your coil? If you are at the lowest setting and still find it to powerful, try using a higher ohm coil

My impression is what the istick thinks is 3v is rarely anything close to 3v. What the mate above me said, though if it's related to your liquid not wicking well search the forum for recents posts with "burnt" and you'll find discussions from last night and yesterday about diluting VG so it can wick well in a tank.
Try taking several long puffs on the Genitank without firing the Itaste. This helps to prime it.
If its at the lowest setting after doing this and it still tastes burnt you may have a bad coil. It happens sometimes right out of the box

iStick's 3 volts is really 4.2 volts. Having said that, your tank is a dual coil device and should work fine at 4.2 volts... If you're getting dry hits, it's a sign that your coils are dry--make sure your tank is set up correctly. Are you by any chance using high VG ejuices? Kangers don't like very thick eliquids.
It should work--in theory. I use dual coil Kanger tanks on my iStick (1.8Ω, though) with 70/30 PG/VG eliquids without any problems.
Your juice may be too thick--or your coil may just be a bit too low resistance--or a combination of the two. Try diluting your juice with a bit of distilled water--just a few drops per ml should do it. And tighten the airflow on your tank to force more juice into the atomizing chamber. If that doesn't help, switch to 1.8Ω or even 2Ω dual coils.
So just drip a drop or two of clean boiled water in the juice? I tried toking it without it on and I think it helped
It really should be distilled water--you can get a gallon of it for a buck in any grocery store. But if you don't have it, use the cleanest water you have around--spring water, filtered water, whatever. You can drip it directly into the tank, but make sure to mix it well, or it won't work--you want to change the viscosity of your eliquid.
You can use vodka, too. Just keep adding a little bit and mixing well (shake, shake, shake, senora) until it seems to flow through the tank better. I see you're in Canada, so I feel compelled to say that beer can't be used for this.
As Katya said above many clearos dont like thick juices.
If this is your preference, Id recommend looking into carto tanks.
I run 10/90 pg/vg in mine with zero wicking issues. Steeper learning curve but they offer pretty MUCH all of the convenience of a clearo with better taste to boot IMO.
I've found most cartos don't play well with high vg either. The flavor isn't any better then bvc clearo, with the bonus that many of the clearos now have air control. Many still like their cartos, but I wouldn't go back to mine short of an emergency

When replacing a new coil I always put a drop or 2 on the coil and wicks. Let it set for about 15 minutes. Then take a handful of dry hits (Not hitting the fire button) and go from there. Works very well for me, it skips the yucky burnt taste.
