copper siezed

[Spencer87]

Any fix? I have a copper mod. Few days ago the lock switch siezed as well as the bottom cap. Managed to twistt hard enough to fix the lock switch. Now today, was tring to fix bottom cap, and lock switch siezed as well. Don't wanna have to buy another one and trash this. How do I fix. Keep in mind I live in Japan, don't. Necessarily have access to common brands u might have in ur home hardware store

Never experienced this, but I have read something about possibly putting it in the freezer for a while so that the metal can contract a little and possibly be able to loosen up from there. Good luck!

I was also gonna suggest throwing it in the freezer. Other than that, take it apart as much as you can and tap it on the corner of a table or something.

As a last resort, wrap something around the mod (silicone would be best) and try to crank it off with a pair of pliers. Don't try this until nothing else has worked and you're ready to throw it away though, because you could easily distort your mod to an unusable point.

More details please Spencer. A picture or two would be great. Otherwise what mod is it and what exactly is seized in what.

Freezer worked for bottom cap. Lock switch still stuck. Pegasus clone

Try soaking the bottom section in some rubbing alcohol for a while without the battery in the mod. This should disolve a bit of gunk built up that is possibly causing the siezing up. After the lock ring can be unsiezed, take the whole mod apart and polish it up and clean it, thoroughly, from contacts to exterior.

Have you tried rubber gloves or rubber bands?
