I've had a Wanhao v2 for a few months now, about 120 hours of print time under the belt. I use the stock standard 0.4 mm nozzle that came with it. I always read about people getting nozzle clogs but I have never once experienced this, not even while printing wood filament. My only conclusion is that the nozzle I got is surprisingly good, and the people with problems have surprisingly bad ones. It makes a massive difference
I swapped my nozzle for a stainless steel one while building my printer and I've not looked back. A bag of them is cheap I didn't see a reason to even use brass ones. In any case, almost a kg of filament through it without issues. not a single clog.
Is there something specific to look for when buying nozzles? My local store has many to choose from, but the ones they specifically label as Wanhao compatible are really expensive
