Introduction

Looking to refill your Aspire Zelo vape tank, but finding it difficult to open? This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to safely and effectively open the tank for refilling. Whether you're dealing with a bottom-fill or top-fill tank, we've got you covered.

Safety First

Before attempting to open your Aspire Zelo vape tank, it's crucial to ensure your safety and the safety of the device:

Turn off the device and disconnect it from any power source. Wear gloves or a protective cloth to provide better traction.

Opening the Tank

Top-Fill Design

If your Aspire Zelo tank is a top-fill model, follow these steps to open it:

Look for a small arrow or symbol indicating the direction to turn. You will likely need to twist the top cap counterclockwise to access the fill holes. Apply a gentle twist. If it’s still stuck, you can try: To run the tank under warm water for a few seconds to loosen any residue. Ensure the device is completely dry before handling.

Bottom-Fill Design

If you have a bottom-fill tank, the process is slightly different:

For a Nautilus 2 or 3, look for a red arrow on the top. This indicates a slide-fill mechanism. Push the slide to open the tank, exposing a membrane with a slit for filling. If you have an older Nautilus 2S, it has a decent top fill mechanism, simply unscrew it to fill.

Refilling the Tank

Once your tank is open, it's time to refill it:

Fill the designated fill ports through the top or bottom of the tank. Avoid overfilling to prevent any leaks.

Reassembly and Troubleshooting

After refilling, reassemble the tank:

Screw the base back on securely if applicable. Ensure all parts are properly tightened.

Tips and Tricks for Tough Tanks

Using Warm Water

For particularly stubborn tanks or those clogged with residue:

Run the tank under warm water for a few seconds. Ensure the device is completely dry before reassembly.

Special Tools

If you're still having trouble, especially with bottom-fill tanks like Nautilus 2 or 3, consider these tools:

A plumber’s wrench with self-amalgamating rubber tape can help apply the necessary torque without damaging the tank. Strong jaws or rubber grips can provide better traction and help in opening the tank.

Conclusion

Refilling your Aspire Zelo vape tank doesn’t have to be a hassle. By following these steps and tips, you can easily and safely open and refill your tank for continued use. Remember to always prioritize safety and take your time to avoid any damage to your device.
