I watched a tutorial on how to clean & dry burn my KangerTech mini protank 2 & the video shows the guy easily removing the flavor wick with a pair of tweezers. I've tried several times and each time the wick sort of tears or shreds apart into several pieces. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. The wicks are loose like that. Just try the best you can to gently grab them together. That is why I changed to cotton flavor wicks. Easier to work with and better flavor. Good luck & vape ON
Thats why I went to braided cotton wicks. ( 1mm) I can poke them thru the tiny coil and lay one on top for a flavor wick. When they get grungy they come out easily with a tweezer ( kind of like a pair of tweezers) and I just insert new ones without having to rebuild the coil
Why yes, yes they do, but, do not dry burn cotton and put a drop of eliquid on it before you replace the stem
I save dead coils and wicks from my iClears. Use a small pair of scissors (like cuticle scissors - girls usually have these) to cut off the wicks, clean and dry burn the coil, then put 1 or 2 of the of the re-purposed cut wicks in place of the flavor wicks, replace the PT2 stem, and trim to fit. I hear you can also roll pieces of cotton balls, but I haven't had much luck doing that. They end up too thin. That may be user error, tho.
If you are going to buy Cotton...I would suggest organic. Reason being, it is not dunked in chemicals like bleach to whiten. It is also suggested to boil the cotton prior to use to sanitize but I am not that patient and have not had any problems without boiling.
