yep yep yep. when you take it all apart, you have 4 parts. base with metal tube, head in rubber cap with wicks attached, plastic casing with meter and drip tip
you can buy spares from vape escape too.

Great stuff again thanks spikey, i understand far better now, thanks so much!

well done spikey, getting a bit of an expert now I see

[shorty]

So the tank isn't the pastic case with the ml markings on it, its the metal tube attached to the base when you unscrew it, the bit the head fits onto?

the tank is the plastic bit with markings on it. the metal tube is the atomiser (atty) which heats the head to vaporise the liquid
or something like that

lol from top down

unscrew tip
tank is the one with ml markings
below that is a plain like band
below that is a knurled part this unscrews BUT if you have over tightened it its a bugger to get off!!!
when you have unscrewed knurled part you will have that and a center post, on top sits the coil with rubber cap with a small tube
Remove rubber tube[cover ] you should now be able to unscrew the wick head[coil]


follow above but in reverse to put it back together.....



Ps ..if like me on one i could not seperate the knurled part ,you can pull tank off but wether it reseals again is another matter or a leak! lol

Shorty hope you are sorted.

thanks very much spikey and Andy, i am going to do some serious cleaning of clearos today and hopefully will also sort my leaks out!

You have been very patient!

If all else fails buy a couple of new ones, and then you can have a play with the "duff" one's so you'll know next time.

You should ALWAYS have spares!

[shorty]

I certainly need to order more spares, will do that today!

Hopefully this is my last question on this subject:

I watched the video on cleaning and dry burning your clearomizer. Is the process exactly the same for the disposable clearomizers and the rebuildables? Do i only take the rebuildables apart if i need to change the head? Oh, and is the atomiser part in the rebuildables also replaceable or is it only the heads that can be replaced?

Sorry, that was 3 questions

shorty, when putting them back together, you may have to trim the wicks slightly to make sure any wispy bits don't get caught in the threads at the base, as these can depress the seals slightly and cause leaks... and make sure you tighten the tank (tube) to the base properly

3 Answers:

1) In disposables you need to remove the silicone cap that covers the coil, if you can't you cannot dry burn, you will burn the silicone.

2) You take the rebuildables apart to clean and to replace the heads.

3) you can replace all the parts in a rebuildable, thats the idea behind them.

Great stuff, thanks DD. the bloke in the video said you dont need to remove the rubber cap to dry burn, he never took it apart at all, is it not optional like he said? (I am going to start by cleaning the non rebuildables as i need to vape my rebuildables until they are empty to avoid wasting the juice but my disposables are pretty much empty now)
