I use the Dip&Go brand from Arrow Springs and make small-medium size beads. What works best for me is:

- grab the mandrel in the middle with a good pair of pliers

- don't try to pull at this point, just twist the bead back and forth to loosen it

- soak in water for however long (length of time doesn't seem to matter and if I'm in a hurry I only use the water to keep the bead release dust down)

- then grip the mandrel again with the pliers and pull the bead off
