It will work. It's as simple as unscrewing (counter clockwise) your mini tank and screwing (clockwise) the Baby Beast tank back on to your Reuleaux.

Be careful when removing the Mini tank that you don't end up unscrewing the the top of the tank from the bottom of the tank. Not likely but worth mentioning.

How do you replace your coils if you have not removed the Mini tank from your Reuleaux?

I know how to take the tank off. I just can’t see a way to connect the baby beast tank. I’ve tried every way. Could someone explain in detail or send a video link

You need to take the rest of the Mini tank off, you left the bottom half of the tank on your Reuleaux

When it's stuck like that one of two things has happened typically, juice has seeped under there often and it's literally stuck, or it's been tighten so tight you risk damage to the 510 connection in your Reuleaux.

If David's suggestion doesn't work gently try a pair of pliers.

My old one doesn’t fit. I’m actually not too sure if it’s the baby beast or big baby beast as my friend gave it to me and she isn’t too sure either. So I’m trying to figure that out
The Baby Beast is 22mm (.866") in diameter and 53mm (2.09") tall, the Big Baby Beast is 24.5mm (.965") in diameter and 56mm (2.2") tall.

The Big Baby uses an 810 drip tip. The Big Baby when new came with a 510 adapter so you could use 510 drip tips with it. It may be in the top of the tank. A 510 drip tip is 8.5mm (.335") at the base. The 810 is 12.5mm (.492") at the base. SO look at the top of your tank and measure the opening where the drip tip goes in.

Post a picture of the tanks from the top looking down into the holes for the drip tips. The old tank looks like it has an 810. It the new tank was the Big Baby that 810 would fit unless the 510 adapter is installed in the new tank. Show the top hole in the picture.

Since the new tank needs an 810 you have the Big Baby.

In the second picture thats a 510 drip tip in your hand but the tank in that picture needs an 810 drip tip. DO you have a local vape shop near by, they will have them, if not there are 1000s on line.

There are a couple styles of 810 drip tips:
The traditional 810 has the drip tip o-ring in the top of the tank. Not what you have.

You need the other style for the SMOK tank, it will have the o-ring on the base of the drip where it goes in the tank. Like the ones pictured below. Note the black o-rings on the bottom.

Search results for: '810 drip tip'

For a drip tip it's probably easier to stop in your local vape shop. Ordering one on line will cost way more to ship it than the drip itself, plus you can make sure it dits snug.

I feel like such a noob. Cuz I am lol. Thanks so much Dude! Really appreciate it

Hey, we ALL were at one time, and we all have tales from that time :) Way back, many RTAs were press fit, not threaded. And it only took once to learn that you don't pick up a mod by the tank! :lol:

LOL I killed a tank doing that.

To the OP my guess is you either overtightened the tank to begin with or some liquid seeped under it which is more likely the longer you go without cleaning your connections. Generally, if you get in the habit of doing that when you change a coil in your tank, that will give you a chance to make sure nothing is "stuck" via eliquid or whatever. I usually use a q-tip dipped in alcohol to swab out my mod's connection and clean the pin of the tank gently as I'm just cleaning most of the tank anyway.

If you are gentle about things and not over screwing the mod and tank together too tightly, it really shouldn't cause much more additional wear and tear, etc. I was rather something of a tank to mod overtightener when I started out.... but, I learned. Finger tight is just fine.

Good luck with the Big baby beast I hope you enjoy it. Welcome :)
