Problem getting tank apart

[harlielover]

I got a eGo DCT 2.5ml tank to use on my eGo's. It is very small and fits the eGo's perfectly with no overhang or adapter needed. It works really well and I have been very pleased with it.

I want to take it apart to clean and can not get the end caps off the tube. These guys are really little and there is not enough of anything sticking out to get a grip on.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this baby apart.

Could you possibly post a pic? I'm sure that would be extremely helpful

Don't have a picture of mine, but here is a link to them. A lot of online venders sell them.

You should be able to hold on to the tube in one hand and the top cap with the other hand, and twist the top cap off. I wouldn't advise using anything like a knife to try to pry it apart, you could damage the plastic tube.

If you can at least get the cartomizer out of the tank, you can rinse it under water while using a Q-Tip to scub the inner part of the tube.

Can get the carto out with no problem, but the end caps are wedged in there so tight that they are not budging. There is no prying them off either as they are slid all the way in and there is no gap to even try and start prying on them.

Id go with the good old teeth method, hasn't failed me yet, if you don't mind getting a tad bit of juice in your mouth (;

Well, it's really not an issue if you can remove the carto. Just clean the tank as I recommended under the faucet and a Q-tip.

That is what I ended up doing. This is a new tank and maybe with use the caps will loosen up over time. One good thing is there are no leaks between the tank and caps.
