Coil stuck on baby beast tank

[vgodbabyy]

I tried taking my baby-t8 cool out of my baby beast tank and it’s absolutely stuck, ive changed the coils before and this has never happened, I’ve tried everything and can’t seem to get it out. Pliers just slide and my hands don’t have a tight enough grip. I don’t even know how I managed this but the outer metal part of the coil actually came off. Idk if I just screwed it on too tight or what but I really wanna get it off soon

This is where rubber coated pliers would come in handy. A set of vise grips may do the trick too. It may also be cross threaded, which may have also damaged the threads on the tank.

Maybe wrapping a rubber band around it use a dish cloth in your hand to get more grip on it. Or possibly put it in the firdge to cool it that might help it realease easier?

Could take it to a local B&M vape shop, they should be able to help or suggest some remedy.

not exactly the same problem, but i did have a tank i could not get apart. First I tried hot water, as in holding the stubborn part under hot tap water, no joy. Then I gave it the freezer treatment, along with the jar grippy material to get a firm purchase and that did it.

Wash everything really thoroughly in hot water, to get any vape residue off (obviously detach from the mod first). You are now in a situation where I can legitimately recommend one of my favorite vaping tools, get a pair of hemostats. They are narrow enough to fit inside tanks, and you can then clamp them firmly on the (remainder) of the coil, and use all the leverage needed to untwist whatever part of the coil is sitting in your tank.

I've accomplished this task often with "stubborn" coil bits, the amount of leverage is almost perfect, and you don't need to worry about sliding "off" the coil, as you've already "clamped" enough pressure.

I'd be really shocked if you were to fail using this method. It has worked for me 100% of the time (and for other things, too, like helping "nudge" or "stretch" an O-ring into the correct place. They are one of my most versatile vaping tools, although I must say, I always wanted to be a doctor. LOL. Harbor freight will sell you a pair for like 2 bucks, and a medical equipment store will also work (they will be pricier.)

Good luck,

Anna

Hi and Welcome-
Wipe off the eliquid, use rubber gloves and try again. I have used pliers too and that also works.
I hope you were able to get it apart.

Vise grips. And if its cross threaded, the tank will be un-usable. It will forever after leak.

If the coil was cross-threaded at one end of the coil, then the other end probably got crossed too and/or the tank would have leaked a mess. The glass wouldn't have lined up properly on the o-rings.

It might take a set of small or medium channel-lock pliers to get the coil free.

I've also gotten stuck tanks to open up through a bath in isopropyl alcohol followed by a boil in tap water. The o-rings are probably shot.

When all the "mild" approaches have failed, it may be necessary to take a slightly more aggressive approach:

Apply localized heat-

Rap gently but firmly -

Apply a gentle torque motion -

Cosmetic or functional damage may occur, but you will have the satisfaction of not letting that damn thing win!

Exactly right!

Allen wrench all the way through the air slots for leverage and vice grips.
