Omg of course - why didn’t I think of that? Genius! Thank you, I’ll give that a go later.

Yup. I can’t work it out! I think that all I can do is put it in a drawer and keep it for spares :(

Hi Tabac man and Horselady154 thanks for your input but it looks pretty well seated to me, unless I’m missing something?

The warranty is 90 days and this happened a couple of weeks after it expired ‍:(

Update: I took the tank to bits and washed it but when I tried once more to put it back together, I got the same result as I did before - the damn thing just spins and won’t tighten. So I ordered a new tank and it arrived this morning. I thought that the new tank might help me to diagnose the...

I will, thank you. I’m going to take it all to bits and check everything later today but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that in doing that, I’ll fix it - and probably never know what was wrong

I agree - it’s not as though you can buy a new tank in every corner shop in the same way you can buy cigarettes! I do also have a couple of (lousy, messy and leaky) Kangertech tanks but I don’t want to use them again if I can help it, even in an emergency

Yeah I tried that. With/without ring, with/without coil and every combination thereof. I’ve tried just screwing it on, pushing down while screwing it on... it’s just not making any sense to me at all!

Ah ok, thank you. How did I miss that?

Hi, thanks so much for replying. Hopefully these pics will help. I’m certain that the coil is situated correctly and the base and black ring are seated together as they should be but the base just spins and won’t screw on. It’s not as if it’s fallen onto concrete - just from the bed onto carpet...

I’ve been searching here for ages looking for a relevant thread but haven’t found one, so... a few months ago I switched to Zlide tanks and for me they’re great. But I dropped it earlier. The glass is fine but the tank’s kind of come apart and I can’t put it back together. I’m sure there’s a...

Just wanted to say thank god for this thread! This happened to mine after falling a short distance. I'd already tried wiggling the negative contact but it was jammed in there pretty much flush. I thought I'd google my problem before getting the precision screwdrivers out and found this thread...
