Got the tobeco rose for a steal and already upset lol. I have watched countless videos and I know how to assemble/disassemble. The clone comes with the build deck and tools to Seperate the deck from the base to allow access to changing the airhole ring o-ring or adjusting the positive pin that connects to the center pin, or to clean. So i put the atty on the deck tool, inserted the rod into the deck hole and that mother will NOT come unscrewed. I even tried the pliers method in the holes straddling the 510 pin and some other grips. Not even a remote budge. The atty works fine. But I will need to be able to get that unscrewed for cleaning and maintenance.

Anyone have this atty or clone and can help?

Did you use the side part of the stand? You have to use that. Screwing it into the 510 threads on the bottom of the stand might wreck your threads.

I don't have the Tobeco, but I'm a woman with arthritis, and I can do my unknown brand ones :)

Try the freezer if that doesn't work.

When you do get it off, lube the o ring below the afc ring with juice to allow that ring to spin easier.

Yep I used the side and the bar. Not even a budge. I tried 100 times thinking it has to loosen sometime! I'm wondering if it was returned because someone over tightened. The ceramic cup was already installed and it shouldn't have been. Works great otherwise.

Sorry dykealiscious don't have that particular model - do have a tobeco plume veil clone and takes a lot of force to get the deck out.
Just need to punch the deck with a couple of o-rings out but damn tight.
Also their phillips head screws are holes with very little for the screwdriver to grab.

I've got one coming from that deal today, curious to see if it has the same issue, ill report back. That was an amazing deal btw, really should have grabbed several at that price.
And today they are out of stock. I ordered my 2nd one last night.

They keep changing the price and pulling it out of stock each time, check back. They may just raise the price again and put them back on. They went from 4.99 to 18.99 to 7.99. Even at 18.99 it is an awesome deal.

Yeah let me know. I think mine may have been returned and resold because I noticed one ceramic was already installed and both should have been in the baggy. Some yahoo overtightened it decided to return it and I got it. Maybe....hoping freezing works but Still vaping that first tank.

Ok, so I just unboxed mine. It didn't look like it was touched but it did have a ceramic cup installed. On mine it looked like they threw it in real quick in assembly because it wasn't seated on the drawtube. I was able to get my base apart, it was tight but a good crank did it.

Ok thank you. Guess I need some more power (I tried pliers in the divets by the 510, and the torque bar and that didn't work) and a good freeze. Lemme how you like it. I found the build easier than most claim.

So update: froze it, wd-40'd it, broke the posts on the tool it comes with to wrench the base, scratched the hell out of the base and no luck. It is frozen. But it still works lol. I guess I just hope I neber need to pull it apart and I have the other on the way. Sigh

Whoa, just saw your update that stinks! Sometimes the only way to get seized up parts loose is tightening a little then loosen, but if yours is so bad the tool broke I'm not sure what would do the trick
