Wicks always darken near the coil. Since these wicks are short, its easier to see it.
Anyone try the new Kanger T3 yet?

So this is normal for a clearo like the T3 ? Will it affect anything, or just 'buisiness as usual' ?
Dry burning and washing a few times should clear it up. Its business as usual but it can alter the flavor as it gets worse
Take post off, remove top wicks rinse. Dry burn till the gunk burns and flakes off rinse, dry burn again, then i usually take a toothpick and brush off any chunks, rinse, dry, clean top wicks, put it back together.
Silica wicks don't burn from dry burning

Thanks. Just refilled one, the other is about half empty. Next empty I'll have to do this. Again, thanks
Really? Dang, I thought they would torch and taste nasty. Crap, all those wasted wicks on T2's and other clearos
I just flipped the cap upside down on the coil so that it slides up onto the tank air tube. This keeps the lip on the cap away from the wicks.

Excuse me, is the top wick supposed to come apart into each little tiny strand ? Or have I done something wrong ? Ain't no way I'm getting each of these little bity strands back together ! Maybe I'll just get a few more coils.... although a week and a half is a little depressing.
The free floating "flavour wicks" are originally two separate bunches of strands, but will surely separate after a few cleanings. T3 especially is very easy to re-wick, so I would recommend getting some wick material for re-wicking. Many ecig shops sell 1mm silica wick, and readily available cotton and bamboo yarn/gauze/pad are even better in my mind. The coil base itself will long outlive the wicks.
Thanks for the info, Mrelwood. I will look into these wicks, although come springtime this old trucker has to find time to sleep. Rewicking might be more of a weekend chore !
mrelwood, how are you rethreading the cotton through the coil? I think I read you made a tool, was wondering how/what it was. I tried some cheesecloth I had and man what a pain in the ... that was
. Going to get into making my own coils as I dont want to keep buying new heads.

I understand that a "needle threader" works in a similiar manner. My tool is just 8" of a thin guitar string tightly bent as a V. I push the corner of the V through the coil, insert half of the target wick thickness inside the V, and gently pull the tool back doubling the wick into the coil.
Not my invention though, don't remember who I got it from here at ECF.
Thank you mrelwood! Didnt even think of a needle threader as I'm sure the wife has one in her sewing box!
edit: Just went back and reread your post and you mentioned the needle threader there, sorry!

Thanks for passing this along Mike. It seems to be working great for me. The coil I've been using for about a week was giving me a lot of burnt hits, but since I turned the cup seal upside down it works perfect. I've been calling this my upside down cup mod.
Does anyone know a good place to get replacement wick for the T3? I somehow lost the flavor wicks for one of mine when I was dry burning it.

Just received my second order for the T3 and noticed that the printed scale now can be read in both directions.
I also notice the max marking while filling is 3.0ml right under the furl of the air tube.
Everything else seems to be the same as the original.

Been using this for over a day and I still haven't gotten a burnt hit yet. But yeah, definitely even more vapor, almost made me cough the first few times I inhaled.
