Welcome to the forum. It's a pod, doubt if you can take apart and be successful reassembling.

I’ve looked at taking one apart and it looks pretty bad. It’s got a single piece extruded aluminum case which as far as I can tell is either glued or melted into place.
Sawing one open and finding out exactly how it goes together is on my long term projects list but I haven’t done it yet.

There ARE a couple suggestions around on how to clear the vacuum chamber. @GOMuniEsq seems to have some information on that. The only thing I can add is that attempting to wash it out and then air dry it does NOT reliably work.

Compressed air, like a computer keyboard cleaner might do the trick

The thing costs $20. If it's gunked up beyond salvation you replace it and take better care of the next one. Before throwing it out try to clean it with isopropanol which is good at penetrating crevices and dissolving crusties, then evaporating.

Also you might benefit from the cleaning suggestions here Vladdin RE

I'd suggest high % isopropyl. At least 70%< preferably 90%

I think pods, in general are not so easy to take apart but hopefully some of the suggestions work for you.

Welcome to the friendly bunch

It's going to be difficult to get the Vladdin apart without breaking it. If I were you I would just leave it somewhere warm and dry for a couple of weeks to see if you can dry it out

Tried This one. It did not work for me

Agree with @bombastinator because VG and PG do not evaporate. If anything, they become more voluminous with time as they suck up water from the environment.
