it should be removable, pepper .... but is probably a tight fit. chopper might have some tips how best to go about this.

I used the edge of a thin smooth knife between the tube and the bottom base... Slip it in and apply a little pressure in 2-3 spots, and it will slowly work up to the O-ring. Once it is there you can usually pull it off.
Hey pepper what I quoted above is how I do it as well.Its the middle o ring where the wick and post are at that is why they get a little tight.I use a hobby knife to lift mine up and works well.
Thanks everyone. I just wanted to give it a good cleaning before next refill. BTW the AB is working great.

Yep they did and was leading 21-6 at half time.They do that crap all the time.Can beat the crap out of a team in the first half then lose in the second half.The field goal kicker just may have saved his job but I doubt it.
Ya lets no forget Monday night go Bears
Got your o rings ready to go and will mail out tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,
I got my new defcon mini about a week ago. It came all set up to go, thanks Chopper! But now one week later it doesn't work
It worked great to begin and I was in the process of breaking it in. No leaking, just nice vapor, although kind of an airy draw. Anyway, now when I put it on my lava tube the ohms state 99.99 and it won't fire. I tried other attys, so I know the lava tube is functioning. I also used defcon on an kgo battery and it still wouldn't fire. I don't want to change out the wick and wire because it was working so well and didn't ever seem to short out. Any other suggestions on what might have happened?
Thanks,
Dawn

hi, dawn! chopper might have an idea of what you can try on your own or if it needs to come back to him. best to pm him and ask. if he's working he might not watch the thread but he does check his pms.

Sounds like you poped your coil you will need to repace that.

Hi Dawn sounds like its a grounding issue that some seem to be having.You can send it back if you would like and let me fix it.I'm sorry you have encountered this issue but I will fix it for you.
Thanks, Chopper and all! I did think about pulling the post and made a tiny attempt but was worried about damaging the unit entirely. I'm going to try and make my own coil and wrap around the existing wick. Not real seasoned at that, so who knows how that will work out. The other was working so great and didn't seem to have any short potential. Anyway, if it doesn't work out then I'll get in contact with you by PM. I really appreciate your offer Chopper. Your customer service is by far the absolute best.
I'm looking forward to getting the defcon up and running!
Dawn
Thank you and please do let me know what happens.The DC really is a great rebuildable once its in proper working order.
Update: Just received Chopper's cap with the smaller air hole. Verdict? YES, it makes a significant diff on the draw for me!
Thanx, Chopper!
Thanx, Chopper!
glad you got that worked out, iffy - chopper does try his best to keep his customers happy. if he seems grumpy at times, just look at his avi and pay no mind!
