I tried that also, but over time, the long wicks just grew on me.
Save your cups as I think that the newer revisions come with long wicks, at least my last order did.

I've seen in some european revisions a wick all the way down to the bottom. Thing is they call it differently, but I think those are the wicks that will come in the future. So stock up of the medium sized ones!

Well, after two weeks of usage, I finally cleaned my T2. I went through 15 tanks on the original (long wick) head without an initial cleaning or any modifications. It vaped perfect before, and after getting all the water out of the wick, it's back in action and just as good as it was before.

My tank is still fogged up from the cinnamon liquid I DIY, but it's not leeching into the juice and the tank has yet to crack, so I call this a definite win. At $5, this is the best bang for the buck if I've ever seen one, and I haven't had so much as a drop leak anywhere during my use.

I've been using a 2.6ohm head at 3.2v on a eGo-Twist.

These things are really great. I have been using one of my short wicked coils for over 40 refills. I clean the coil every 5-7 refills. I just can't kill it.
 
I just remove tip; pinch the head where the slots are and unscrew. Lefty loosey, righty tighty....lol.
Grab a freshly cleaned long wick head. Push the wicks down towards the threaded end and hold them there while I install.
I get the wicks started in the shell first then push the head down and tighten.
Once tightened, look at the wicks and use a dental pick to push any wicks down that may need it.
Fill and reinstall the tip.

The mileage that we are getting out of these T2's is almost unreal. I changed the wifes head assembly after 1 month and she said it didn't need it as it was still working great.
So whatever they are doing at Kanger, I hope they keep it up. :laugh:

With me, I experience the Heads 'Getting Slow', taking awhile to fire all the way up. It's like someone has ......ed the throttle on the eCig! It's strange - but when they get like that I stop using them. I pulled the Wick out of one and it is beyond gummed up BUT since I cleaned it and dry burned it the middle part where the Coils are located are Perfectly White and Clean. It's just it starts getting gummed up just outside the coils at the Wick heads on out of the head and into the inside of the Clearo.

Also, a big problem that I have had is having the Black Screw on Tips will seperate from the Metal Collar that is used to screw into the Clearomizer-Body Part. This comes from Poor Quality Control. The next time you look at your T2 just unscrew the tip and look at the top of the head and see if it is leaning to oneside, at least more so than the other side? When this happens there are a lot of 'EXTRA' stress that are applied to the Black screw on tip that will help cause the Plastic Bit getting undone from the metal collar that it is glued to.

Because of that, when I bought a Five Pack of the T2s a few months back they sent me Five Extra black Screw on Tips for the T2. I couldn't figure out why they sent me extras until the next week when one of the Tips became undone. I can't tell how many have broken this way. BUT, You can make a Kanger T2 into a Dripper, just like a Regular Atty. Well those Tips that Become Undone are excellent for when I drip because I can just leave the collar screwed onto the Carto and I can just pull the Tip on and off between Drippings.

Also, Because of the Poor Quality Control again there WILL Be CRACKS that will APPEAR on you Black Plastic Tip! If you let the Carto fall on it's side or off a table the potential for getting cracks is greatly increased. And because of these small cracks I can't even see I have lost a few Milliliters of eJuice from laying the Clearo on it's side with the crack in the Tip which give the juice a route to get out!!! And it always seems to happen when I near the end of the road with my eJuices and I need to order or GET more.

You may find that the T2 is a little 'TOO' Airy when you try to take a draw. I had mentioned earlier today in a different thread that it's like being Wide Open Throttle on your Carbs Chevy and you're only driving 15 Miles Per Hour.

So with ALL my T2s i Take a Piece of Tape and cover one of the Holes. You have to take less of a hit because of it but it is FAR more control and I rarely want for my Vapor when I started covering the holes up. Let's just face it, they do not need to have that many holes for it to work since I know if you cover one of the holes it helps a lot. ANd when I take a Toot I usually Cover-up the other hole to help draw the eJuice up into the Wick, but that is depending on if you do not have some HIGHER QUALITY Ejuice where you don't have to mess around with keeping the wicks wet all the time.

I could probably go on and on. About 90% of all my vaping the past several months have been on T2s. CANNOT Wait until I can try one of those new T3s with the Bottom Coils. Have heard the flavor is better than the T2. Great

Very happy with my T2's.
The very first one i bought is still functioning. Cleaning is easy. Just run them under tap water, dry the wicks with tissue paper, do a dry burn and they're good to go again.
I have the medium sized wicks. I know about the short wicks but i've never tried them as i think i need to put the clearo upside down to get juice into them when the tank is halfway empty. They don't sell the large wicks here. These would be better for me i think, because they run right down to the bottom of the tank.
I have four of them and three more coming in the mail tomorrow :)

I'm having issues with flavor. What resistance are your heads and what voltage are you vaping on?

You have to pry the battery post up. Take a tiny screwdriver (jewelers) and kind of set it next to the post and twist the screwdriver so the battery post kind of revolves a little. Do it from different points around the bat post . You're kind of pulling it up. Your Kanger should work now. Kanger T2's are notorius for doing that and it drives me nuts. So I use a Vivi Nova now.

Ive been using my Kanger T2 since sept. 1, 2012 with 10 different batteries. I used the the original short wick head for 18 days then took it apart just for fun and have been rotating between 2 long wick heads[ with cotton flavor wick added ], since sept. 18th.
Just got 2 KGO batteries that ive been wanting to try, screwed 1 onto my T2, and NOTHING. Did i finally burn out my first coil? Got one of my Joyetech batteries and the Kanger fires up. No way am i going to mess with the center post on my new KGO battery. So, i put on one of my Vision V2 and the KGO works fine. In fact it works better on the SR V2 head then the Joyetech, but i don't like as much on the LR head. I happened to have a EGO TO 510 ADAPTER, and decided to give that a try, and see what happens. And now the T2 works on the KGO battery. So, QC is not always there, but, the Kanger is working great after 11/2 months. And adding a long flavor wick is causeing no problems and even for my dead taste may be improving flavor.

What are you using for the "long flavor wick"?

How long have your heads lasted? I have two T2 vaping for almost 20 days and haven't thrown away a head yet... So much vapor that when my tastebuds are shot it seems like vaping club soda...
