Looks like the lowest v setting is 3.3, which is where it's set; the lowest w setting is 6, and it's set to that.
One thing I did wonder about; when I started playing with it, I discovered that the default w setting was "8" -- is it possible that using that higher setting just kinda "burned" that particular tankful of juice? If I put more in it, and made SURE that the lowest settings were set on both, might it be better? Because I noticed that after I set it down to 6, the vape *did* get a bit cooler. So much to learn!!!

A couple of things. Don't know that particular device, someone who knows if I'm wrong correct me, when you set it to 3.3 volts it stays that way but if you then choose 6 watts it stays that way and any voltage based settings are gone. I can say for certain that 3.3 volts is not the same as 6 watts even though they are both the lowest value you can use. Which means if you had it 6 watts then checked the voltage setting and saw 3.3 volts, you effectively changed it from wattage mode to voltage mode. The reverse applies, if you picked a voltage and then looked at the wattage setting, it's now in wattage mode.
As far as burning the tank. You can't, sort of. Depends if you mean the tank itself or the e-liquid in it. I'll do the tank itself first. You can completely burn out a coil, think a break in the wire here. It'd be obvious if you did that. You can get gunk (that's the scientific vaping term
) built up on either the coil or the wick. Running at too high a temperature makes this more likely to happen. Think unwatched fry pan and badly burnt whatever turned to ash. It's possible that you can clean the fly pan. If you don't, perhaps over time the pan will slowly work off the burnt nasty food and eventually things will be fine but before then there will always be a faint burnt taste in everything you make. I don't remember what you're using as a topper, so can't give specifics on how easy it is to clean the coil. Perhaps you're using something like a cartomizer which really can't be cleaned.
My advice, since you're still working on not smoking, replace the coil, atomizer, cartomizer, whatever. Don't toss it, just put it aside until you're at the cleaning/fixing instead of just replacing stage with your gear and then you can try to clean it. Keep things simple and enjoyable and worry about the finer points later.
Finally, yes you can 'burn' the e-liquid itself. Actually you can caramelize some of the ingredients like the sweetener. The inexpensive tanks are the worst at doing this. The heat from the coil isn't dissipated by the material of the tank but passes into the e-liquid and causes the caramelizing. You should notice a distinct discoloration when that happens. I have a chocolate flavor liquid I use in a cheap tank. It's natural color is deep chocolate brown. By the time I've finished a tank it's close to black. The sweetness decreases as the tank empties. I keep carrying it because I use it on a cheap eGo battery. No big loss to me if it's broken or forgotten somewhere.

I'm not a very good dripper but did find the Diver/Grail to work pretty well. Now...if things go bad like they are heading in the UK I probably won't be able to use anything I own outside of my house...but then perhaps it will be time to retire
