ameteur mistake

so I've been vaping my new TOBH atty exclusively for about a week now. i change the cotton every other day but figured it was time for a better cleaning. i removed the 510 pin and just did a quick rinse under the sink to get all the excess juice and dust out of it. i popped it back on my mech mod and everything works and vapes fine the only issue is the o-rings that hold the top cap on must have absorbed water and expanded or something and now it is extremely hard to get my top cap back on and off. like requires some serious elbow grease. is this something that will fix itself overnight or do i need to make a trip to home depot tomorrow?

Rub some e-juice on them to lubricate them. Cleaning the atty probably dried them out and made them a bit more "grabby."

You most likely cleaned all the juice off of the oring and it is now dry. Try lubricating it with a couple of drops of the juice you are using.

Yes you do......... but only by a few seconds.
But being an ex drag racer, a few seconds is a lot.

Great minds think alike and all that.

Sounds like its completely ruined. Send it to me for proper recycling

Take one Oring off if you have 2 there, save one and it is easy to remove now, also nicer on your threads of your mod, tugging on brass thread especially will ruin them..
