The very first thing you will need to do is...........relax.
510 tank Cartos:
Lay down a paper towel then remove the dropper off your bottle of juice or an empty bottle of juice and place to bottle on the paper towel.
If your tank is completely full, like to the absolute top full and you are using a 510 Tank Carto take a straightened out paper clip set it aside where it will be handy. Next, simply push down on the Drip Tip. This should give you enough room to grab the flange at the base of the cartomizer.
Now insert the paper clip though the Cartomizer until it protrudes a little above the polyfill material. While holding the flange remove the Drip Tip, you should see the tip of the straigtened out paper clip at the top of air tube.
The purpose of the paper clip is to block off the air tube since the top of the cartomizer is going to be submerged in the juice for a brief moment. You want to twist the Cartomizer clockwise or counter clockwise while backing it out. This will avoid pulling it straight out which in many cases results in dislodging the bottom cap.
Only pull the carto down far enough so that the top of Cartomizer is a little below the bottom of the Top Cap. With the exception of the current Kalabash/Silicon Drip Tips, take the Drip Tip and insert into the top of the tank so that the Drip Tip O-ring and the inner Top Cap O-ring are flush with each other.
With the tank in one hand and your juice bottle in the other simply pour the contents of your tank into your bottle, then remove the Cartomizer. The current stock of Kalabash Drip Tips have a smaller diameter O-ring and will not seat securely or flush with inner O-ring inside the Top Cap. Silicone Drip Tips have no O-Ring and their diameter make them too small for this application. So if you have a different styled Drip Tip, like the one that came with the tank....use it.
Remember, the O-rings just have to be flush we are not trying to push the Drip Tip O-ring past the inner top cap O-ring. If you tank isn't completely full, just do everything above and skip the "paper-clip".
No need since all you need to do is back the cartomizer out enough for juice to flow out the top of the tank. As long as the top of the Carto is above the juice you are in good shape an juice won't flood the air tube and start leaking out of the bottom of the cartomizer.
KR808 Tank Cartos:
Everything is basically the same as above however KR Tank Cartos don't protrude out of the top of the tank as far as 510 cartos do. This can make it difficult to get a secure hold onto the flange before twisting it out. So here's another trick...
Again, let's grab a paper clip...except this time we are going to bend it out in the shape of a V.
While holding the tube and bottom cap securely, gently push down on the Drip Tip, this should back the Carto out about 2mm. Then slide both sides of the V'd paper clip under the flange and remove the Drip Tip. While securing the Bottom Cap gently pry the Carto out enough so you grab the flange securely.
Remove the paper clip and while holding the Bottom Cap and Tank tube slowly twist the Carto and back it out of the tank until the top of the Carto is below the bottom of the Top Cap.
This will give us enough room to pour out the juice. Insert the Drip Tip, as noted above (Kalabash/Silicone Drip Tip warning applies) into the Top Cap, aligning the O-rings and pour out your juice into the bottle.
Things to remember:
Don't panic
Always wet the Carto or the Drip Tip before installing it into the tank.
Always twist the Carto when inserting it or removing it.
Avoid pinching or damaging the O-ring or possibly dislodging the Bottom Cap.
Always set the Tank down on a flat surface and without covering the Drip Tip hole, twist it into the Cartomizer with downward force.
