Decasing a 510 atomizer

[Y060N]

I know most if not all 510 atomizers come with a casing on it that I can't seem to take off. I would like to dewick it without having to push the mesh off and/or remove it. Is there any way to take the casing off of the 510 atomizer without destroying anything?

I was thinking of boiling water and putting it in there, but not sure if that would work.

Any ideas or methods that have worked in the past?

Thanks!

you dont have to take the case off to dewick, i used a toothpick to tease the threads out from under the bridge, just go slow and dont poke too deep. Ive done it a handful of times with good results. once you get the ends out you can pin them against the wall of the case and draw them out.

I just did that and got all of the wick out except 1 strand of threads. It will drive me insane if I leave it in there, hopefully I will be able to find a tool that can reach that far into the atty.

I am still looking for ideas to take the casing off though, as I want to make sure the entire wick is out before I start using it - once it starts burning it's a pain to get out.

Thanks.

Update: I found the tool I was wanting to get, it's used for electronics to pick up very small objects but was still too buy for the atty. I just pryed at the thread for quite some time and it finally came loose.

I am still interested in ways to remove the case from a 510 atomizer though, as it would be useful for future reference.

Look in the sticky titled "how to rebuild an atty" in a nutshell, boil it for 10-15 mins to loosen the glue, then you take an 11/32 drill bit slightly ground down at the chuck end so it firs firmly into the cart end and work it loose.
