What am doing wrong?

Person I know loves the istick and they use it at 3.7V on a 2.4Ω ce4 clearomiser.

I tried it at 4v on a nautilus 1.8Ω bvc coil and it was fine.

My problem seams to be that im getting too much juice, and its the juice that is burning. Ive tried puffing without the button pressed. And decreasing the air flow just seams to make it harder to suck, which in turn, makes it pop and burn more. So far the best I can do is put it at 3 to 4v, and inhale hard in short hoots. Which does work, just not what I was expecting, or what im used to.

Silly me, I thought that the purpose of a regulated VV/VW mod was to be able to provide a good vaping experience with any coil resistance within the mod's specified range. If the a mod cannot do that it IMO is not much better than a mech mod, i.e. build coil heads that match what the device can supply.

Juice quenches the wick. Excess juice on the wick will cause gurgling and an off taste, generally, not burnt vapes.

Juice is supplied to the wick by vacuum created while taking a draw. Too little vacuum results in less juice being introduced to the wick. Too increase vacuum the airflow is reduced resulting in higher vacuum and greater juice supply. The reduction of airflow will also increase the effort required during a draw.
If the effort required while taking a draw is excessive, the user should either delay the frequency of drawing, or take a few dry puffs before the next draw.

I personally, would never recommend a regulated mod that only offered Mean voltage regulation to any one. YRMV

Honestly regardless of what has been said here, the problem is not rather the display or setting is rms or average (mean) voltage. That's really irrelevant. If I was trying to take a setup that I knew worked well on one device that used rms display of voltage at 4.6V and was now trying to use it on another device that used the average voltage then yeah, it's going to be a pain cause I'm going to have to calculate the values and figure out what the new setting is. But we vapers don't do that. We set a device rather by rms voltage, average voltage, or wattage by whatever tastes best. No matter how you display it, they all do the same thing, control the flow of elections through the coil. The electrons ate the same regardless of how they are set.

The issue with the istick had nothing to do with what value it uses to display voltage. It has to do with the fact that it can only supply a minimum voltage. I don't have an istick, so I can't tell you what the minimum voltage it can output is, I can't tell you what the frequency or duty cycle of it's pwm is at any given setting. What I've heard is that the minimum voltage it can output is 4.2 volts. If that's accurate, then it is going to be difficult to run a low ohm coil on a device that used small coils, mediocre wicking, and/or has minimal airflow.

In addition to what is said above;
Some iSticks are just evil hot and nasty. I have one, it has me begging for mercy at the lowest watt setting available for the coil resistance. Say 4 ohms for example, I can run the same atty on a VaporShark DNA at 8 to 12 watts and it`s great vapor. It is not you it is the iStick!
