atomizer stuck to mod...advice

[redsox]

title says it all....got an igo w that refuses to unscrew from a mod

 

[dice57]

when it got up to operating temp and the threads expanded, did you by chance tighten it down a smudge more?

Any who, just vape it till it's hot again, and unscrew it while the metal has expanded. They tend to do that from time to time. Sometimes I just loosen the battery or 510 top cap then am able to loosen an over tight atty. relive any tension on it and should come loose. happens.

i may have dice, cant be sure...problem is when i unscrew it the topcap unscrews from the mod and im left with that little section and its hard to work with....this sigelei #8 might have a permanent topper?

yeah, i thought my kraken was gonna be stuck on my astro for good. but i took off my top cap from my mod, then took off the top cap from my dripper, used my shirt to hold the mod top cap in one hand and with the other hand i took a precision screwdriver and positioned it between the posts for my coils and used it as leverage. came right off.

idk if that explanation was clear enough for you, hahahaha!!! if need be, i'll take some pics.

if push comes to shove. remove the battery, put the mod vertical on a table and smack the base firmly with a hammer straight down on the topper base. this will compress the threads and allow for easy removal. heat will also help a lot... ever see a mechanic beating on your car with a hammer? well this is why.

Try putting it in the freezer for an hour or two. This will cause things to shrink and it may loosen up. Works best if the parts are different metals, because they shrink at different rates.

Use pliers with one of those rubber jar opener pads so you don't mar the finish. Twist if off. Take the top cap off first. If you must, use the posts to turn it (the center post is only held in by a plastic washer though...use it for leverage if you only turn one outside post. The outside posts are in contact with the base. Don't bust them off though.) Should be easy.

Clean the threads when you get it off. Both the mod and the topper.
