I need some help, please? I just received 2, Ares 2 tanks. Read the instructions. I always take my tanks apart to clean them. I can not get these apart! Can't get the base to move, can't get the top to move, can't even get the fill lid to slide. What am I doing wrong? How can I do this?

    Bottom just probably tight, top, did you take drip tip off? has child safety feature, have to take drip tip out to slide.

    I gave a thought to the Eggnog flavor quite awhile back but I can’t vape spices at all.
    That's what happened to me with Chai tea (it was great at first but soon couldn't stand any more) Being close to Christmas, I would try eggnog though (with bourbon?)

    I did not know that the Egg Nog recipe really had any spices in it, maybe it has some nutmeg in it then? :unsure:

    KAS
    Nor sure what spice but I was told by folks that vape it they can taste spice in it.

    Go ahead. I can’t vape spice period. Doesn’t matter what it’s mixed with.

    Bingo (about removing the drip tip) after that, try putting it in the freezer... then try to take the base off (rubber gloves help)
    Maybe this video will help:

    Yes, I did take it out. I'll try putting it in the freezer as @vaper1960 suggested. Thanks you guys. Cross your fingers!

    If that doesn’t work do you have any kitchen gripper things or a couple pairs of pliers?

    Somewhere between here and there

    I haven’t used mine in a long time. Redbird would probably be more help on the ares than me. I don’t recall having any problems taking it apart. I think you have to take the drip tip out to slide the top.

    What am I doing wrong? How can I do this?

    Way too late, those were the questions you needed to ask as you were PURCHASING them.... LOL.... But, I'm sorry :( I hope you get them, ah, sorted. I sort of thought suggesting "Throw them against the wall" was perhaps a bit you know, violent.

    My loathing of the Ares is only rivalled by my like of the Zenith. It's like those guys only had one "great" tank in them, thank goodness they wasted none of the "great" on the Ares, etc.

    No offense to those who LOVE them. But really, remember how GREAT it was when they both came out and the one you were like, "Sweet" and the other one you were like, "These were some awfully expensive build tools but MAYBE it was worth it..."

    Just like (I hear if you were an American kid) you voluntarily ate like 70 boxes of Crackerjack popcorn or SOMETHING to get a decoder ring?

    Ate, meds in me, yoga happened. Did medbox for the week in case I live through it. LOL.
