Can one of you experts tell me if the tank on the katana can be removed? and if so how.Pictures would be nice,I'd hate to break my sword trying to clean out some thick,dark juice out so it won't have any mixed up,funky taste.a syringe gets 95% of it and flushing with water and a 60ml syringe gets the rest,but then there is a bit of water left in the tank.H2O don't vape real well.

@lorderos you mention the magnet ring for the switch is 10x2x1mm, someone posted 10x2x3mm on ukvaper. So both will work fine??

So the 10x2x3mm magnets require a lesser press down to fire?

No, they will be stronger and so require more pressure to push the button. Also, they will be too thick and will require a longer screw to be able to lock the screw in place. 10x2x2 should be OK to allow the screw to lock though without needing a replacement.

The removal of the tank is easy, putting it back is not so easy and you might break the seal on the positive electrode if you are not careful to line it up properly before pushing it back together.

To remove, take the top cover off and unscrew the electrode screw completely. Be careful not to lose the screws or washers when doing this.

Pull the wick and coil off and then put the top cap back on.

Unscrew the tank shield and set aside.

Pull the top straight up, you ay need to wiggle it **gently** to get it to come loose.

The tank may come off with the top but will likely stay on the base. Now just grabe the tank and pull it off.

Rinse and wipe dry (water and paper towel is more than sufficient). Do not use solvents as many of them will damage acrylic and that is what the tank is made of.

Now to put it back together...

Make sure that you have a battery in the tube and the switch locked. This will help support that positive electrode I warned you about, but still be careful with it.

Spread a drop or 2 of juice on the the inside of the tank on one side and slide that over the o-ring on the bottom of the tank.

Spread another drop or 2 of juice around the top inside of the tank once it is back on.

Now put the top part of the tank back on the negative electrode (the longer one) and slide it down till you get to the shorter electrode. line it up and get the shorter one started in the hole.

Once it is in and you are to the point where the top part of the tank reaches the acrylic, wiggle it into place to the o-ring and then push it the rest of the way in.

The o-rings may bulge a little on the top cap, this will settle on it's own soo in most cases so nothing to worry about.

Put the wick/coil back in place, put the screws back on and tighten them.

Your katana is back together now. Test fire it, all should be good, fill it and vape away :)

Thank you!I thought that's how it was done,just wanted to be sure before attempting this feat.Your tips(and ua72's) are a big help to all the new genesis users(works on every genesis I have)
Well done.

loft i hope you feel better don't throw anything away i had ordered the zen standard then i cancelled because of some people and i feel stupid now and i have to wait another month now hang in there what i have done is i made all my wick with different sizes and put them in a small zip lock bag and label the sizes and put e liquid in the bag and seal till my z-atty-pro and Katana shows up let it soak in there you should try it also make some wick put in a seal bag add eliquid and let it soak when you need it it might be absorbed so you may need to put some pressure by rolling it tighter to get it right size and you should have no wicking problem
