[maccafan]

Are you trying to remove the atomizer from the cone or is it something else?

Waiting with abated breath.

I would use a 3/8th inch socket extension, clamp the cone/type B 14mm tube on a soft jaw vice and use a dead blow and knock it out.

There are two types of the eGo type B atomizer available. One you can change the atty on, the other you officially can't & is classed as disposable.

If it's the repairable one, you unscrew the base from the tube to reveal the atty. If it's the disposable one then the base connector & atty are pressure fitted with a form of glue into the cone & need to be pushed out of the tube from the cartridge end.

I used a section of 8mm copper pipe to go inside the tube & over the atty piercing spike and gently tapped it out in my hands.

Make sure it's not one that screws first before you start hitting it otherwise you might damage the threads rendering it pretty much useless.

It's a ego-T type B as the topic title says..

So it's the press fitted one.. Not like a Ego-type C..

i dont have a vice...but would be afraid of de-shaping anyway. however i have been using one of those changeable head screwdrivers(has flat circular edge) with no success.

when pulling 510 atty sleeves off i can only do it by wiggling side to side a couple of mm's its impoosible to pull off in a straight way.
cos of the skirts i cant wiggle this one.

i got the spike out ages ago ...pulle thed centre pin and ceramic cup out too.

dont really understand why they need to glue this aswell, had same problem with giantomiser which i never got sleeve off...but that was glued to seal.

Post it to me with a large stamp if you want and I'll try and get 'em apart and post it back to you..

[kingofswords]

thanks for the offer but id rather do it myself...for future reference.

I just knackered my EgoC atomiser base trying to get the atomiser out, unbeknown to me, the atomiser fell out, but there was I using my pliers to get 'it' out, then discovered that the 'it' I was trying to get out is attached to the base for the atomiser to sit on. #icon_hopeless#

not much you can do to repair it though macca as I have managed to mangle the thingy altogether. #icon_rofl#

But, i have learned from my mistake never to make the same one again.
