Unwell crown mini 3 disassembly

[John68]

Had this quite a while now
There was no spanner in the box, brand new
Trying to get it apart to clean and renew O rings
Have tried long nose pliers, have cut fingers, no luck
Any advice greatly appreciated, a pig to strip down
While I’m on the subject, welcome thoughts on different tank which is easy to take apart and clean, gives good flavour and coils don’t cost a fortune
Thanks in advance

Try placing it in the freezer for 1/2 hour and try again.

Hello
Tried that, glass cracked, oh well
Had it around 18 months

Hello
Vape shop gave me a new replacement, brand new
I have noticed the airflow ring is very stiff to turn
Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Close the airflow and put a small drop of juice into each slot, then open and close it a few times.

I dont have one of those but with tanks that I cannot budge anything I have been amazed the difference using those thin rubber/latex gloves make. Those and a pair of long nose pliers like you mentioned. But definitely try the gloves, they become indispensable. The difference that bit extra grip gives is amazing.
Have once used to help a small screw driver or nail put into the air slots as well to give some extra torque.

With this particular tank there's a key/screwdriver type tooly thingy (supposed to be included) that is required to remove an internal locktogethermajig in a righty-loosey left hand thread action before unscrewing the two bits around the glass...

It's a good idea because it stops the tank unscrewing into 18 million pieces if the lid gets a bit tight, but it's a pain if you don't have (or can't substitute) the key...

Ah, in that case then I'd Dolly it.
Smash and bin time.

a flathead screwdriver should do the trick
