Caravela stole my Aqua RBA! :< how do I get it back?

[VapinSweetZ]

I screwed my Aqua to a Caravela clone, and now it is almost impossible to unscrew it off.
When I hold the top piece of the mod, I take apart the middle piece of the Aqua. When I hold the Aqua I screw out the piece in the picture.

Any magic tricks how to get my rba back?

have you tried getting one of those fat rubber bands and putting it around the top of the mod and the aqua so it wouldnt slip when you try to turn it. It'll give you better grip.

You can try a wet wash cloth to get a better grip

You could try the freezing trick.

Kayfun 3.1 got stuck to my astro last night. Freeze first and then rubber gloves should give you the grip needed to twist apart. Good luck.

also you can use tape to tape the top part onto the mod so tou have more room to grab onto, instead of trying to just grabv the top part

dribble a little windex into the seam.its good at cutting through any juice that might have
gotten in there and gummed it up a little.

Wrap a dry bicycle tube around whatever you need a firm grip on.

This recently happened with my Stillare and Turtle Ship ... like others said, I put it in the freezer for 10 minutes, and I was able to get it free

I guess its a hybrid mod now...
It's been frozen for couple of hours, then I let it sit in a cleaning solution for few minutes.
I think it will be much easier (and fun) to find a bottom piece for the Aqua and smash this stupid Caravela clone :\

BTW with the turtle ship it's much easier, it has a slit in the 510 base, small screwdriver gives a great grip.

Remove the atty with the top still on and un screw the center contact post first if its tight it can work like a lock screw

Did you try to separate the pieces right out of the freezer or drop it directly into the cleaning solution? You need to twist them apart while still frozen. If that doesn't work, rubber gloves, the heavy dish washing kind, will likely do it.

Thanks, I took out the screw and plastic ring at the beginning,
I tried to separate them right out of the freezer, after I gave up I put in a stove top cleaning product for few minutes...

Freeze mod, then have hot water in something and dunk just the top cap in the water till warmed. Then twist off using the rubber jar pads, or rubbergloves, like the Nitrile ones, that's what I usually use. You want to get the connection where they are stuck to be different temps, one expanding and the other contracting.

As said put it in the freezer because it will contract the metal, cool will contract the metal making it easier.
