Insert a tool through the AFC and use the increased leverage to remove the base.
A small hex key, a stiff paper clip, etc.
In future, remove the entire unit to refill. When re-attaching, it only needs to be "snug" on the mod. NEVER TIGHT
Cheers

Try warm water to loosen it and something firmer to turn it or grip the base lightly but firmly with pliers. Wrap the base with a cloth first. If that doesn't work, get a friend or your parents to help.
I tried sticking the end of a paperclip into the airflow control but it doesnt workit cant go through/deep enough twist it off!
Just tried freezing it for 10min but the thing just wouldnt budge :/
Sorry..
Remove the tank and coil/head.
This should leave just the "base" attached to your battery.
Try to unscrew the base using the "lines" as grips.
If that fails,
invert the unit and sharply tap the "base" on a hard surface/kitchen counter a few times. (think packing a new pack of smokes) Try to unscrew the base using the "lines" as grips.
If that fails,
You should be able to rotate the "ring" so that the window is completely open on both sides. Insert a thin rod, tool, fork tine, (I use a Green base luer lock blunt needle (gauge unknown) so it protrudes from the other side. Try to unscrew the base using the "lines" as grips and the tool for leverage.
if these fail...it's time for a clamping tool on the "lines".( damage may result)

Get a rubber tipped plier. Works most of the time for me. Another tip is to wrap the base of your tank with those rough feeling elastic plaster. You know those brown ones? It will provide a strong amount of friction. Helps me most of the time... After removing the base you can just remove the plaster and clean it with water.
Next time don't over tighten. I personally put those medical soft feeling tape around my 510. Helps to prevent scratches and also aids in removing the atty since it is smooth.

Helped a few of my friends with this method.
Take some electrical/duct tape and wrap the base of atomizer thick enough so it won't scratch. Take the huge ... adjustable wrench, the plumber type and twist it open.
Works every time for me. If still cannot just pm me.

Thanks for the advice guys!! currently letting my vape rest (like not trying to get the atomiser base out) cause im busy with school and stuff. Would try the methods as given above over the weekends!
Btw when heating it with warn water, wont it be kinda dangerous since there are electronic parts? Even if the batt has been taken out, if water seeps into the mod wont that be gg?

had a friend who had the same issue few days back with his subtank mini
i used a screwdriver and stuck it into the airhole and just turned it
worked pretty easy but i had to use a decent amount of force
