Beauty ring stuck on Innokin iTaste MVP boxmod.

So, the beauty ring that came with it is very, very stuck. I really need to get it off of there because the bottom half of my clearo is stuck in there too (I know, n00b mistake, but the user manual was very limited.) Anything I can do other than going out and buying some pliers? :/

I would just use pliers or a vice or something to grab hold of it and twist as hard as you can.

Mine was stuck too when i just got it. The threads werent very good. I worked in some food grade oil with a pair of dish washing gloves to be able to twist it off. I had to re die and re tap my threads. Vise grips and pliers work but may scratch up your devices if you mind.

I would go with TruckDrivinMama's suggestion above if it's stuck because of bad threading or tightening it down too hard.

If it's stuck because of e-liquid which leaked and dried, I'd try working an alcohol-based hand sanitizer into the inside of the pan, and on the bottom outside of the ring, and then try to twist it off with a towel or wearing gloves. Hand sanitizer is what I use to loosen stuck adapters from cartos, and just generally as a cleaning agent for leaked juice on vaping gear.

Just generally, for problems like this, some sort of lubricant and a bit of patience go a long way. If you find you need to use something like pliers, be careful about too much pressure -- I suspect the ring would bend fairly easily.

Thanks everyone. I guess I'm out of luck until I go out to the store tomorrow.

my husband has taught me to wrap ends of pliers/wrenches with paint/masking tape to prevent scratching things up(I already have done to some of my evods)and it gives a nice grip-and I don't use too much pressure/force that would bend/ruin the metal pieces either-good luck-make sure it's off too

I had this same problem yesterday at the office. Grab a power or other type cord that is rubber and place it around the ring. Then pinch the two ends together and use it like a wrench. It will allow you to get the grip that you need to get it off.
