Cannot open the darn thing! (iSmoka BCC tank)

[Dame]

I use (exclusively, as of recently) the iSmoka BCC tank, and up until a few days ago, with no issues. The other day I went to do what I had done a hundred times, and that was to open the tank to replace my juice. The thing will NOT open. We have tried everything, and it's just sealed shut, or something. I don't know if warming it up will help loosen it? or if that is safe to do? (forgive me, I'm still a vaping noob!). Any advice would be appreciated.

metal does expand with heat and contracts with the cold.. but since its a metal to metal connection i'm not sure that will do much, have you tried using some sort of pliers and maybe a vice, or just firmly hold it in place while you unscrew the bottom portion,, This sorta happened to my PTmini 2, the bottom portion got stuck with the coil in a very deep welled mod. Haha a few scratches/twist later and it was free ;P

I would use one of those plastic pad looking thing to open a jar. I wouldn't want to mar a nice tank with players.

someone else just posted the same thing.. and the winning solution was to put it in the freezer for a few hours, -- it worked!

I would be interested in why it did that. I have wondered if spilling on the threads as I fill it is going to cause a problem.

Never been an issue for me with over a dozen different tanks.
