I can't figure out how to get the co2 canister holder off

One side of the grip comes off and there is a twist screw inside to loosen the cartirtage.

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

Unscrew the round plastic piece at the bottom of the base. Then slide the base down.

I had that problem, there are two little springs that you can try to maneuver. They were under the vent and if you hold them so that the clasp opens you should be able to twist the mount off. It wasn't always easy...

The top turns but it doesn't unscrew. Looks like it could be pried off with a screwdriver. I don't have an empty can to test it and I don't want to ruin my full can if it doesn't work.

Press the gear down, it moves just enough to get the c ring off. You can use a couple of small standard screw drivers to remove if you do not have the right tool ( i used screw driver method, but watch your fingers)

The water bottle slides up and into place as the mechanism comes down. The CO2 canister (bottle?) twists into place in the back - you have to remove the back. I'm not sure which bottle you mean. If its not fizzy, you should check on whether you need to replace the CO2 canister.

If you grab the cone shaped canister and turn it counter clockwise it should come loose. You might try using a rubber glove or a damp dish rag or washcloth to get a better grip.

I had some problems getting the thing apart too. I uploaded a picture with instructions. Hold the lowest part of the base in one hand, and then unscrew the ring counterclockwise to get it apart. From some of the answers I've seen to questions, there must be different models being sold under the same name. I was able to to unscrew everything by hand (there's no Allan wrench needed).

I would ensure that the paddle is firmly attached. Also check the position of the top of the canister. It has two grooves on either side. Check the position. I hope this works.

Turn the selector to the "unlock" image, the batteries are in the top part. Now look at the open bottom of the top part and move the 2 little black tabs towards the center, the battery holder will now slide out.

You need to push in the black tab located on the motor side of the canister just below the housing lid while unscrewing it.

Lift the flame regulator handle and rotate the regulator lid to the side, exposing the top of the lid. Using your thumb, push down on the screw top lid. It will pop right off.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

One side of the grips comes off in order for you to put in a CO2 canister but I don't know if the other side comes off.

I believe Dawn has the right answer, but if you cannot open the top to remove the inner protective seal, flip the unit upside down and drill a series of small holes. Cover the holes you created with duct tape or place the container in a large zip lock bag when not in use. You should be able to find the instructions and precautions on the Internet.

There are little clips holding it on to the grill. You have to pinch each side carefully and remove it. It's not easy, but you can do it if you are careful.
