Its not only the nautilus that does it most tanks that you have to unscrew do. Heh I had to use multi-grips on one.

Im not being a smart azz. But just don't over tighten it.. you might think it needs to be super tight but it doesn't.. mine never leaks.. just tighten it till it feels like it stops, and don't force it tight.. that chunky oring on the base works very well.
I had a nautilus I had to throw away because no how, no way was that sucker moving a hair. Most of the time however, they work fine and a rubber band, a pair of pliers or a multi jar/top opener on the bottom of the carto will do it.
This is a problem with the Nautilus Mini, but @Cosmic_Glaze has it exactly right: it does not need to be tightened down. If you look at how it actually comes together, it's the coil head that is screwing into the chimney section (not the glass part screwing down onto the base) that holds it together.
Once the coil head is gently screwed in, it doesn't need any more tightening, and will be very difficult to unscrew if overtightened. That big ol' clear "o ring" part at the bottom keeps it from leaking, but you do not need to screw the glass down tight to ensure that. Once I realized this I haven't had any problems with mine!
For now, try holding both the glass and the base with rubber kitchen gloves and persistently turn the base clockwise, and the glass anti-clockwise. Good Luck!

brought 2 pairs of pliars from the pounds shop...got it undone eventually ,will take your advice @Cosmic_Glaze
I have to use pliers very time I unscrew my NM and then have to unscrew the coil that gets stuck in the chimney. I don't know why I even deal with it all because I have plenty other tanks, but I like my Nauties. One of these days I'll just be done with them and use my Triton mini's instead.
How are the 1.8 Triton coils compared to the Nautilus?
I've been using a wide tight fitting vape band type thing that they sell for kids - teens and such.

I purchased the Triton Mini's to use with Nautilus coils. I think I got a package of 1.2 Triton coils once to use with the Nautilus, but it didn't work well for me. Those coils need more air than the Nautilus can give.
Nooooo don't throw it away 
but like everyone said don't over tighten it.
I don't agree with throwing tanks out.
The only tank I threw away was the cubis but it's terrible.
The mini is one of my favourite tanks!
