If I use a dark juice I will clean off with water and dry it off with paper towel, I dry burn until I see it glow then rinse it again. Occationally if I have been using a dark juice there will be a crust that won't come off so I will use metal fingernail file with a point on the tip and very carefully scrap off the crust on the coil really gently and then rinse again. It will be like a brand new coil. Good luck, you will figure it out. :)

Maintenance and proper use is all it takes. I clean my T2 heads about every 3rd tank. Doesn't take long to clean/dry burn and if needed scrape a little on the coils with a pin. I have several spare heads and may for some time to come. After 6 months, I'm still using the original heads and they perform excellent.
Higher power will give you an extra kick, but so will slightly raising you nic or lowering your VG. Also, increasing Draw time works. Liking the popping and crackling is just entertainment. Remember, every few heads saved is another bottle of e-liquid paid for.
 
I feel like my kangers T2 heads are starting to burn out at least once a week. Is that normal?

At least they're only about $1 a head, and the new ones taste so much better, but I wonder if I'm using them wrong.

Mostly vaping 50/50 with just a little 90/10 VG/PG Boba's on a Twist at 4.7V

If you're running these 2.5 ohm heads at 4.7v then thats too high. 4.3v - 4.4v is about as high as you can go with 2.5 ohm's.

Another potential issue is the specific type of battery you are running -- that 4.7v may not be a true reflection of the run-range.

Just as one example: the Joyetech eGo is supposed to run at a constant voltage but the SmokTech eGo does not. The SmokTech eGo-K runs at 4.2v off the charger, settles into the 3.7ish range for a while, then dies at 3.1v. The vigor of the quality control process can alter the actual vs. designed ranges regardless of manufacturer.

Might be worth going to a local shop and have them check the output after a fresh charge -- you might be hitting your atomizer with a lot more than you realize.
