Coil stuck in Atlantis tank head

[ph0enix]

I just unscrewed my Aspire Atlantis 2 tank to refill and the coil is stuck in the upper part of the tank. It's a new coil, so I wouldn't think it was gunked up from juice. I refilled with it in there, screwed it all back together and it's vaping just fine, but still won't stay screwed into the base of the tank when I opened it again. How do I keep this from happening?

That happens to me as well from time to time. I just wipe it down and put it back.

Install the head into the base tighter.
Be sure you don't cross thread the threads between the chimney & head.

The Atlantis 2 threads from the base and the chimney, I think. I mean, the chimney screws on to the coil as well.

Small annoyance when it happens occasionally. I deal with it as it is my favorite tank as I rebuild the stock coil heads with .4 notch coils which are super easy to rebuild. CHEERS!

I'm quite familiar with the Atlantis. remove the head from the chimney.
Install head into base tight, leaving it stuck in the chimney will cause massive leaking sooner or later.
The seal between the head & base keeps the tank from emptying into the air chamber in the base.

How do you rebuild them? I took one apart to try to figure it out, but no luck...

And I've tried to remove it from the chimney and it won't budge

If the head won't unscrew from the chimney / crown looking thingy it might be cross threaded, it should unscrew easily.
Hope that it isn't cross threaded, try putting in freezer for a few minutes, use more force with a jar gripper or pliers.

I don't rebuild them though some folks do, more hassle / fiddling than its worth to me.
