How about one (or two) of those rubber "gripper" thingies used for opening stubborn jars? That ought to do it.

I finally got mad at it and broke out my channel locks, and as gently as I could got it apart. I was shocked that, even with tools, it was incredibly tight. Ended up with a little scratch or two but nothing that won't happen over time anyway.
However, using those gipper thingies (what my wife calls "rubber husbands") is a great idea and one I didn't consider... thanks for that.
I was just waiting til these are in Stock to order mine but now I'm reading about poor machining or too long of posts. What are other known issues?
I decided to pull the trigger on a black and ss one. Hope they are as good as my Griffs. It was either the 2 Gemini's or 2 more Griffs which would have made a total of 5. Should be getting them by Friday.

I got my black one from VapeNW. I don't see any poor machining or have any stripped screws or post holes. Everything looks like it fits together just fine. Building? Hmmm... I first tried it with 2 24ga. coils at 3mm and just barely tucked the cotton into the juice slots. This is my first time trying this, as I usually stuff my cotton clear down into the channels. I got some serious leaking. I pulled the coils and tried a couple at 2.5mm so the cotton would be a bit thinner, and I wicked in my usual fashion (cotton clear down into the channels). So far so good. This tank seems very comparable to the Griffin, as far as performance, but the Griffin seems easier to wick, since the wicking material seems easier to get down into the channels (I leave the wick ring in place and just stuff the cotton in with tweezers). I need to spend more time with the Gemini before really passing judgement, but I prefer the Griffin overall thus far.
Got my SS and Black Gemini's today. I don't have anything negative to say so far. Machining is solid. I haven't gotten around to tossing a build in yet. But I'm sure I will enjoy it.

Well, I had some more leaking overnight with the Gemini. I picked it up to pop in on my APV this morning and a big drop of juice dripped from the bottom airflow vents. It looked pretty wet in there, so I gently rinsed that area out under the faucet and dried it off with a paper towel. That was about 15 minutes ago, and I don't see any additional juice dripping out, so it must be a very slow leak. I guess I'll just have to experiment some more with wicking this one. The plot thickens!

I closed off the jfc overnight, and all is well this morning. There was no juice dripping from the bottom, and I opened the jfc a bit, started vaping, and everything seems good. Thanks again, Haylon.
Most welcome. I do that with all my tanks with jfc. Just tossed a build in my Gemini and I noticed my jfc ring won't move. I have to adjust my jfc by unscrewing the tank. Does the jfc ring move only one way?I closed off the jfc overnight, and all is well this morning.

Yes, that appears to be the case. When adjusting juice flow, if you hold the base and keep turning the rest of tank clockwise (in relation to the base), the two parts will thread all the way together and stop moving (you're screwing and unscrewing the chimney from the base, in other words). Just screw the chimney all the way down onto the base and back off like half a turn (don't want it too loose, obviously) and adjust from there.
Just found out that this is not the case. I'm use to the tolerance of the Griffin which is easy to turn. I grabbed the tank section of the Gemini and continued to keep turning as I would screwing the atty down on my mod. It does turn. The tolerance is just really tight. Try it and let me know your thoughts.

Mine definitely screws down and stops. However, it turns back and forth pretty easily up to that point. I think yours may just be tighter and maybe you aren't reaching the fully "screwed down" position, just experiencing much more resistance before that point than I am.
Let me keep cranking on it and see if it stops. It's free but still hard to turn. I had to crank down on it to the point that I was thinking that my tank is going to crack any minMine definitely screws down and stops.

50 resolutions so it's not threaded. At least mine isn't. I have never had a jfc ring that was this tight to turn. My complaint on the Griffin was it was to easy. But the Gemini is to tight.

It was just one of those things that was bugging me.Hmmm. Maybe I just haven't cranked down hard enough on mine. I don't think I'll push it any further to find out. It works okay as is.

can you please give me links to wires that you suggest using with gemini ? what setup is your favourite ?
Has anyone managed to take apart the base? Where the bottom AFC ring is? I have had mine for about a week now and from day one the negative post was wobbly. I managed to get in there kinda with a tiny um......blue screwdriver and managed to tighten it up but I wanna be able to really get at it. Any help would be awesome
