Neither have I, it's just too small. ;)

Vape, Vape, Fill... Vape, Vape, Fill... :D
Yeah still kicking myself that I brought the Merlin mini, I only got it at that time cos they were going to be selling an extension for it. Then they decided to not make it.:mad:

After the seeping on both my Merlin's including the replacement base from STS, I kind of gave up on Augvape.

The Goblin Mini V3 is the same for me, but at least you can keep stacking on the extensions if you want. ;)

Hello everyone. I need some help. The build deck appears to be fused to the base. I can't remove it even while holding the bass with pliers. Everything just spins around endlessly in either direction :(
Are you holding the JFC ring instead of the AFC ring tying to get the deck out? The JFC ring will turn freely.

You could remove the AFC ring it just pulls off, and place a small screw driver in the air slot for some leverage.

It was the JFC ring I was trying to turn with the AFC ring off. I tried using pliers but it still wouldn't come off. I'll try with the screwdriver. Weird. I haven't had this problem before. Usually the tank just comes off attached to the juice flow control but now the tank comes off by itself.

The JFC ring in the picture below is part of the press fit base section and does not come off of the base at all. If the that ring easily comes off attached to your tank there is a problem.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Weird coincidence, yesterday when I switched to the big tank, my tank came apart and the chimney stayed attached to the base. I didn't need to recoil so I just put it back together like that. Now I'm thinking that I should have tried getting it apart.

    Sorry. What I meant was I'm trying to get the chimney off. It's blocking the build deck.
    All good!
    That could be a tricky one, there is not much to grab onto where the tank attaches to the JFC ring.

    I would take the top cap off and drain the tank.
    Hold the JFC ring with thick rubber band or something similar and unscrew the tank section. If it fails to come off you can put a pair of needle nose pliers or hemostats in the juice fill holes (one leg in each hole) and try to unscrew the tank. That will either get the tank off of the JFC ring or tank the tank apart. If it takes the tank apart then remove the glass, put another rubber band around the chimney and unscrew it from the JFC.

    Barring all of that, if the chimney is still attached to the JFC ring, try putting the EXO in the freezer for a while and try again. I had to do that with the old Nautilus Mini when it refused to come apart.
