I;ve been using Kanger T2 clearomizer with 1.8 OHM coils for over 2 years now on a 1300 EGO C passthrough battery. For the last 2 weeks every single one of my coils has failed after 1-2 days. First I though just a bad batch but I ordered some more and same problem. Have no idea what it could be. They just stop working no idea why since nothing in my setup has changed. Anyone have any ideas???
Kanger T2 coils failing constantly

Welcome aboard
I have no experience with the T2 but did use other top coil tanks early on in my vaping journey. The only suggestion I'd offer is to ditch the T2 for a T3S, or any of the Protanks using single coil heads. i'm not a fan of the dual coils.

have you checked the connection to your battery and the head? maybe there's a short on the pole. Tried the same heads with another clearo? That was a common failure on the T2.
Yup. sounds like the clearo is just wacked at this point . i like the t2 but hoping for months and months from a semi disposable unit is dreaming. You can get a box of them cheap on fasttech
You need to be aware that it appears Kanger has discontinued the T2 so in light of your experience with recent coils now would be the time to start investigating other options. The top coil ViVi Nova has also been dropped by Vision and it's in bargain bins now all over the place.
Thanks to all for the response. I've tried all the suggestions and nothing makes a difference. Checked the connections, changed the whole set-up including batteries but doesn't change anything.
I have tried the T3 and don't like it at all.
If I can't get any more replacement coils due to it being discontinued I'll have a hard time replacing the T2. I really like it. I've tried ViVo but didn't like that either. So far I can still get T2 stuff on-lline so maybe I'll just keep buying until it runs out.
The coils burning out so fast all of a sudden leaves me stumped though. In the past they have lasted months.

If it gets to where you can't find T2 coils, go to the Halo website and order some Triton coils. They are completely interchangeable with the T2 coils. In fact, it's basically the same tank with different threading on the Triton.
Describe the actual failure, what is or is NOT happening. Multiple colls all failing, you either have a bad batch of coils or something is wrong with your MOD. I lean toward the issue being the mod or atomizer as the problem NOT the coils.
You have not changed, anything about the juice have you? Or the manufacturer?

The coils are interchangeable, I was able to find much cheaper coils from other places when I had mine. If you have to go to Halo to find replacements, that will eventually be your best option. Good luck.
How old is your mod? Could be like some people have stated could be your mod has ran its course and instead of blowing out a bunch of coils and ordering more and more check that out. If you have store near you that knows their stuff and aren't going to try and ram all the new equipment down your throat go get your mod and atty checked out.

I changed the Batterie and the actual casing of the Clearomizer. Bought coils from several different vendors on-line and even changed the OHM. The set-up I have been using isn't 2 years old either. The coils just quit. They get weaker and then nothing at all. Yesterday I went through 2 coils in one day on a brand new battery and Clearomizer. I have not changed juice either so am at a loss. Thanks for your suggestions
Thank's I' ll check the site out. When you say different threading does that mean I'll need an adapter for the tank?
It could be the coils. Kanger and Aspire both went through this with T2 and T3 coils last year and it's not surprising that we are hearing about it again. It could be old coils that weren't recalled in last years admission by the manufacturers that they had a problem. Are they changing taste and finally failing with an open circuit or is it just bad flavor?
As I remember, the T2, Evod, and the Kanger Protank all used (or were compatible with) the same coil. They all had problems like the one you are describing.
If you want to ditch all those and are willing to wind your own coil once every month or two and change the wick twice a week, try a Kayfun or one of the other RBA's. You will be free of the bad coil problem. Sometimes, I can go a week on a cotton wick and replace it during a refill in 5 minutes. The coils dry burn and last a couple of months. A roll of Kanthal and a bag of cotton balls can last you a year for $10.

There is a missunderstanding... I have been using the same type of system but not the same set-up for 2 years. Wouldn't the expect the Clearo nor the coil to last me 2 years. Thanks for the tip though.
The coil starts out fine then it gives less and less smoke until it just stays cold. As though it has lost it's connection with the pole inside the Tank. Sometimes I can unscrew it and it will attempt to work again much weaker though for a few minutes. I've tried sticking the same coil in a different Tank but that doesn't make it work again either. I thought maybe my battery was frying the coil so switched to a different battery (EGO-C 1300 Passthrough as well) but same result. I use a 1300 ECO-C passthrough and the coils are 1.8 OHM. I've been using this type of set-up for almost 2 years and the same supplier for e-juice as well. Nothing apart from new Tank, batteries or coils periodically has changed over the last 2 years.
My Mod is new as well. That is the first thing I changed thinking it was just a bad Clearo. I have changed Clearo, Battery and coils periodically over the last 2 years. I'll have it checked out. Thanks good suggestion.
Those heads use a connection that is just pressure contact against the center and outside posts with a silicone insulator providing the pressure. There's also a silver solder joint in the wire connecting the resistive wire with non resistive wire on each end. That's supposed to prevent the silicone insulator from getting hot and introducing burned silicone into the vapor. If you pull the center post out and then the silicone insulator, you may find that the solder joint has failed.
The other problem could be the center contact in your mod being pushed back into its insulator sleeve. That would prevent it from making contact with the atomizer center contact. If you don't sense contact just before the threads bottom out, that could be the issue. Using a large paper clip with the leg bent out you might be able to nudge the mod's center contact back out just enough to make better contact. Correct adjustment would be where you feel the two contacts touch and then have another 1/8th to 1/4" turn to go before the threads bottom out.
I still recommend looking into a rebuildable atomizer. That would be the end of the problem.

I wonder if you have a point about this being some coils that weren't recalled last year. If these are really being discontinued then it would make sense that the Vendors that still offer them are selling their old Stock. I'll check with them to see what is up. I have no idea where to start winding my own coils but have seen some web-sites that explain How-to. Thanks for the advise. It's a great idea.
Taste doesn't change they just go dead from one minute to the next.

Go to YouTube and search for Rip Trippers. He demonstrates in detail how to recoil just about every head out there. It's worth your time to watch him do a few. He reveals just how easy it can be.
Tried pulling out the post a bit more and that didn't do anything. As soon as I screw on a new coil it works fine which leads me to think it is the coils that are bad. I appreciate the suggestions. Your post that these are from a bad Batch of coils from last year makes sense. If these are being phased out then it would be logical that I get remaining Stock. My regular Vendor doesn't even carry them any longer so went to different sites to buy these coils.
