I want to remove the heat attachment and try the other tips. How is this removed. I have tried both twisting and depressing and twisting. Thanks

I am sorry, I do not know. I bought this for my husband & I know he did change the ends. Unfortunately he passed away 6 months ago. I don't know what he did. Sorry.

I believe I pulled it off, but I also remember is was hard to get it off initially.

It has to be pulled, not twisted. Do not push or twist, only pulling should do the trick. It should be simple, however, since you have already depressed it, you might find it a little harder. I hope this helps.

It is difficult to remove cured thermal compound, but it can be done. Use 91% or higher rubbing/isopropyl alcohol to soften it up, and pry from the edges slowly with a non-metal tool. You may want to try twisting the cooler a bit too, that can soften it up and it may pop off when given enough torque. Once removed use the alcohol and lots of paper towels to clean things up.

It's very difficult to get it out but I used a plias and a hammer and knocked it out, when I placed the attachment in the wrong place. Good luck

I did not try to do this so I cannot really provide any specific direction. However, if I were attempting to do this the first step I would take would be to heat the current plastic fitting with a hair dryer and hope that this might (note....might, no assurance,) loosen the fittings up so I could twist them off with pliers.

Press and hold the metal wick holder down (springy) and twist. It should unscrew then.

Do you mean the memory foam tips? If so, please twist and pull gently and the tips will come off. All units now ship with a small amount of lubricant placed on the tips during manufacturing. This will make removing the tips much easier. If you have had a problem in the past, please contact us and we will send you new tips free of charge.Thanks, The AirBuds Team

You have to have a hose with a removable tip. Otherwise you'll have to tape it on there. I did that a few times but it is annoying to do. Some options are the Nogoom, Nammor, and certain Khalil Mamoon hoses.

How did you get the heating pad out -- and especially how did you get it back in?

The tip is a rubber gromment and can be pulled off with a little force. You may need to apply a little glue to get it back on.

The orange tip wasn't easy to remove but no impossible try hot water work for me don't force it the metal can be damage if you don't want to risk it just paint it to avoid any unnecessary damage

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!

I think you can just lift it, or use a blow dryer to heat it up, then lift. I haven't tried to remove mine.

The tip from the factory is on extremely tight. Be patient, I found using a 6-pt wrench rather then the tool sent with it, to remove the tip worked. Good luck

I had the exact same problem.I finally broke down and bought some extra tips.Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

Goodness, I'm not sure but I think I used a dull knife to lift a little tab and then pull it off, or I scored it and then pulled it off.Ah, it might twist off after you score it. Good luck

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.
