Help, Please! Can't get the 'Inner Ring' out of my new CE2s!

[orachel]

Hi there! I'm a boge carto girl, but just started branching out to CE2s. My first ones just arrived, and trying to fill first carto. I took out the top mouthpiece plug, but now I can't get the Inner Ring (over the fill plug) out of the dang thing! lol I've tried prying it out with tweezers and a little pokey thing, but no dice. Anyone know what i can do to get it out? Thanks so much!

-CE2 carto noob

{PS} Apparently the thing I cant get out is called an 'o ring'. Its the thing that covers the area with the holes. So to be clear, the rubber top piece comes out, but Oring won't come out. Any help?

This is the clearomizer I'm using, btw. This description calls the thing that won't come out the 'inner small loop'

are they clearomisers you just take o ring out and fill with syringe most work staight out of pack lf you need to mod because the wick is squashed then you can remove fill plug ,some use bent paper clip ,ive always managed with a small screwdiver,then you just make the notch a tiny bit bigger at top and sides, but tiny just a sliver really

I remove that rubber cup that hugs the wicks under the o-ring, than I just use that o-ring (with ridges facing down) and push tightly down against ceramic cup, these works 1000 times better without that tight rubber cup. to remove the rubber cup either use a mini screwdriver (eyeglass kits are the best) or a hooked paper clip, keep playing with it and it will pop out eventually.

A dental tool ( can be purchased at the local grocery store in the toothpaste aisle) works splendidly to remove the "fill cap" Occasionally the cap will stick to the sides of the carto, running the tool along the edges of the fill cap with a little vg or pg on it, will help to loosen that seal/stickiness. Then pry up from the center of the ring, it actually works better if you go with the line of the wick/coil I think there's more to grip there.

I posted the link to the type of clearomizers I'm using in top post. Cant get the 'o ring' or inner small loop out.

That sounds like the problem I'm having. I'll give that a whirl. Thanks!!!
