kanger t2 replacement coil head

Is there supposed to be wick on top the coil or this a extra wick?

I think that's normal...a flavor wick. I just started using T2s...but mine have the same loose wick on top of the other wick wrapped with the coil.

Flavor wicks - Same in Vivi Nova

I had the same thing it's perfectly normal. Depending on the head you might want to either take it off or cut tiny slots in the silica cap to improve the juice flow if you find yourself getting dry hits.

yea it just seems like it burns the top wick ,doesn't make a lot of vapor, and floods out. When I took the top wick out it has burnt wick in the coil, I had a k5 to that would not vape at all just burnt nasty taste

Burnt look is just e-liquid - can be removed, after rinse/dry, with a Bic lighter

Flavor wick(poor naming) has several purposes
Keeps hot e-liquid from popping off coil and striking tongue
Keeps additional e-liquid on coil surface to avoid dry burn
aids in wetting coil wick

Halo Tritons work the same way (why not; they are essentially T2's). The interesting thing about that though, is that all the wicks can be replaced. Now I just need to figure out a good method to clean the coil.

I tried to replace a wick the other day but, seems impossible lol, got a lot of used top coils saved up never been able to find good instructions

Its a bit of work but 1 method is to tie some dental floss around an end of the new wick, tight. clip wick as close to the dental floss knot as possible. Slip other end of dental floss through a large sewing needle and pass needle through coil and pull wick through.

I'm at about a 50/50 success rate. When I found new coil wicks fo $.99 each I quit trying.

I use long wicks, After a cleaning or two and I have a black spot I can't remove, I slide the spot out which leaves a clean bit in the coil. works almost like new. I can do that a few times. Coils last multiple weeks. My longest use was 47 days until the coil actually broke. Not bad for 99 cents.

yea these days coils seem a lot better, and that black stuff on the wick is Purdy nasty
