Not sure if anyone will find this useful, but it is something that has helped me when its time to recoil, rewick, etc.
Rose 3 Tip:
If you ever have trouble gripping the atomizer base to unscrew it, then try sticking the end of a small screw driver, hex key, etc.
through one of the air-holes. This will momentarily keep the AFC from spinning, and the bottom base should become easier to loosen. I also find that unscrewing the chimney first (while
tank is inverted), makes the base easier for me to loosen as well.
