Yes, my wicks are brown. The liquid I use turns brown after a while. I understand what you mean by it looks like tar. The liquid I use is not clear, it's called Cuba, a cigar flavored liquid. Liberty Flights has one called Churchill, which is clear. I used that in the past, and my new supply should arrive tomorrow. I just reordered the Churchill. It too is a PG liquid. I am so appreciative for you and everyone else taking the time to explain. When I originally got into this, I went to the local shop. They just taught me to put the thing together, took me a while to figure out what is what. I ended up with the Vamo based on all the great advice I have received on this forum. Now I have a better understanding on what I have to do.

Sean the problem that I had with the EVic was the dome. The dome came unglued from the thread that threads on to the black plastic screen. The unit broke because the dome turned when I was screwing on the cartomizers. There are thin wires under there. I noticed this on the replacement head that I was given to replace the first one. The second head came unglued as well. It is really hard to tell, because the silver dome doesn't depict turns very well. After the 2nd head, I junked it, got the telescopic, that one too broke twice. The button on the bottom of the unit is very flimsy, and after the 2nd one, I also trashed that. I came on this forum looking for suggestions on a replacment mod, and that is how I ended up with my Vamo, which I absolutely love. Well built, works great, zero issues. I bought it from the digitial cigarette, was a fraction of what I paid for the eVic. I wish I had come here first, but until I got into vaping, I just trusted the information I was given, and went on from there. I guess you live and learn. I have met many people who ask me about my thoughts on vaping, and I have been recommending that they visit this forum, and get informed first before they buy anything. Obviously I recommend the Vamo unit with the T3 Kanger.
I posted this on another thread but here it is short and sweet...
Kanger T3 can be converted to T3s. You can get a T3s replacement base from any number of suppliers, like here
Kanger Coil Heads/Innards
And get replacement coil heads too. I have done this with no, zero, zip, zilch, nada problems.

3 Things lead to Decapitation on early eVics:
USB charging - heat weakening the glue.
Getting knocked over - Causing micro fractures in the plexiglass screen cover and releasing the top.
Dropping on a bad angle and snapping the top section out.
Updated heads seem to have alleviated the issues.
Happy Vaping!

Yes, I know what you mean. I've repaired my three eVic's four times, and had to learn how to solder, get the gear, and do the repairs myself. The eVic is delicate, at least the V1 was. The new V2 has two screws in the head that keep it from popping off. Clearly a design flaw, press fitting a metal head into a plastic body, without glue....oops! I don't have the V2 yet, and I still occasionally use the eVic, but never outside the home. When I stopped using them, the wife adopted one, promptly put a white tube on there, and now it's her favorite APV. She also takes it out of the house (OMG!). You can't beat the display on the eVic, and I love the little underpowered device (5 volts maximum). I recently ordered the Kir Fanis telescoping stainless tube for the eVic, to beef it up a bit. I have epoxied the heads in place, but feel that a bad fall with the wrong topper, landing just the wrong way, may do me in again. I so want it to be a good APV. Truly. Maybe I'll end up with the V2 someday and be problem free, but I definitely relate to your experience. Best to you.

I always hear a few horror stories with Kanger, but as someone who only uses T3s and the new evods I have yet to have any issues save for one and it was my own fault. I love just buying replacement coils instead of a whole new clearomizer.
I personally LOVE the new Kanger coils. They are SOOO much easier to rebuild. Also, make sure you are cleaning them. You should be able to get a LOT of milage out of one before you need to rebuild it.
I believe the Kanger thing is permanent. You should try cartos....Smok makes a pyrex dct tank it has an awesome hit.
I also got mine in the black box with the Kanger ProTank. Put it on an Innokin itaste vv 3.0 and had the setting a wee bit high and got the burnt taste. Turned it down to about 3.5 and occasionally the burnt-ness returns. This could just be due to the one singe I gave it so there's some residual taste. Overall I feel like the Kangers are amazing. Tried some Vivi Novas, and the Protanks are by far better
