Only used it for one day. Looks like the wick in the center is black or burned or something? What's up with this? Pretty sure these things are supposed to have a longer life than one day
Brown crap in my clearomizer?

sometimes they don't - clean with hot water or soak in PGA. I take them apart and soak the atomizer end in hot water and then PGA, rinse, let dry.. You should be able to get the gunk out and continue using them.
I am having the same trouble. My new solution that I am trying now is to run a rotation of them. Use for a day. Pull internals out of the clear tube. Soak in IPA bath. Dry. Very carefully and pulling from both sides pull wick out of coil enough to expose the charred bits. Heat wick with butane torch until it looks shiny new. Pull wick carefully back into place. Dry burn atty a few times until it glows a uniform orange. Lube atty with a drop or two of juice before sliding it back into tube. Have done this successfully on one although I was not careful enough with the wick and it fluffed up a bit. Seems to work good. With a weekly rotation maybe I can make these work but it seems like a lot of effort. I tried just cleaning with alcohol and got 3 or 4 good puffs before going back to tasting burnt. I know my dark colored irish cream juice must be a large part of what's killing any cartomizer I try but I just haven't found anything else I like well enough for an all day vape.
If you mean in the cup where the coil is, I have the same issue, but only with some juices. Other juices they stay pretty clear. One "Creamy Carmel" juice gets very big brown clumps around the coil and wick in the ceramic cup. I actually had to clean and dry then pick it off with a sewing needle after a dry burn. Needless to say, I've stopped using the "clumpy" juices in my clearomizers.
