Yesterday, I dropped my LV and Don from the countertop down to a very hard tile floor. Two things happened:
1. It instantly cross-threaded the 510 connection in the Don. I thought it had broken off the 510 seal in the atty, but no, it cross-threaded. That surprised me a bit. I managed to get it back out, with some pliers and WD40. I now have some scratches on the outside of the LV base, but no big deal, really. Went back in just fine once I got it out.
2. The glass bottle broke off, with the glass threading still inside the plastic cap (which of course is glued into the middle piece). I'm having a hell of a time getting the glass out of there. Anyone have any suggestions on that? I may end up having to completely remove the plastic cap and put in a new one, but I'd rather avoid that if I can. I'm really not even sure how to remove the plastic cap, as it is epoxied in place (I put it in with Gorilla epoxy). Any ideas on how to get the cap out?
