Might have put this question in the wrong group , will try again ....
Hello all, haven't posted for quite a while but I must get advice from other Max v12 tank owners. Bought my first one to fit the Maxo 315 watt 4 battery monster and had my first problem switching from the smaller led lit coil to the large one because it is like the damn adapter insert is welded into the clearoV12 base ...so I smoked it with the smaller coil was all I could do .... tank # 2 was ordered and had the same problem ... you unscrew the small led lit coil to find absolutely no amount of effort will release that crazy adapter ....
I'm embarrassed to admit I got so angry after hours of trying with pliers, vice grips, and channel locks that I put it in a vice and literally roto sawed the base in half just to be certain I was indeed remembering correctly that an adapter was in the base preventing the larger coil from being screwed in ... it was like trying to break a welded thread !
Because I have so much extra stuff for the two previous tanks plus an optional 3 large coil tube of spares, I bought another today ..... at least at a lot lower cost because they are finished marketing this beast of a tank ....
but I know exactly what is going to happen ... right outta the box the coil will unscrew easily ... now try to remove the adaptor collar which remains in the tank's base and the same hell is again going to (not) break loose for the third time .... anyone else share or shared this problem ? Watched every utube review on this clearo and cannot believe not one reviewer commented on the problem except one who does a silent no comment utube just visually ... he struggles with it, tries bare hands, a cloth, then pulls large channel locks into the picture .... they did not work for me ... going to try the trick of using a zip tie like a wrench on this next one as soon as it arrives, at least it will prevent the mega marring ....
