Help! Dry burning Kanger 2.0 ohm

[Azulsky]

Ok, so I'm fairly new, and have had no probs dry burning the 1.5's. But this 2.0 has a different build and I can't for the life of me get the chimney off. Help please!

The chimney appears to be one piece with the top cap thingy. Can't figure out how to get it off, or if it even comes off. Your help is greatly appreciated! *waiting patiently to try my new juice flavor*

They're 2 separate parts. Some are fairly easy to take apart. Others not so much. I know the last one I tried wouldn't budge.

Yeah, some are tighter than others but they are all press fit. I have the best luck wrapping the base in a paper towel then wrap a separate piece on the chimney for extra grip, then grab each end and start to wiggle it back and forth while pulling. It should pop off, and once off the next time should be easier to separate.

Thanks I'll give it another go. Been trying the paper towel technique with no luck :/

My fingers are sore! My BF tried to no avail :/ you think maybe needle nose pliers would do the trick? (Wrapped of course) just afraid to crush the chimney

Still not coming off [emoji35] I'm flustered! Why can't I dry burn with the chimney on?

Try throwing it in the freezer for a half hour or so. The parts may contract enough to be pulled apart.

I will have to remember that for next time (please don't let there be a next time)

I do mine with the chimney on. Rinse in water. Dry burn til it stops smoking. Rinse and pulse a few times.

I have an old ego battery that is dead forever. I put my kanger or aspire coil heads in a base, then screw the base on the ego battery. Now I have something to hang on to with one hand, then use the pliers to get the top cap off. I don't have to worry about messing up the threads on the old ego or breaking off the top. For the aspires I have a dedicated base that I can nick up with the pliers. I found that the kanger coils fit that too.
