What did you do to the Xcube?
How can a 510 connector "not work"?
Are the threads striped?
Does the whole assembly spin?
Is a tank stuck on the device?
Cheers

More info would be helpful. (see above post)
Is the battery device still under warranty?
Unless you are extremely handy and have a good knowledge of how to repair electronic parts, I don't recommend that you attempt to repair your mod yourself. Messing up the electrical connection for a mod that uses lithium ion batteries could short out the battery. Believe me, you don't want that to happen to you.
Count your losses and purchase a new mod.

Although I have had a battery explode in a mod, those pics are not of me. They were obtained from Google Images.
I don't mean the xcube, and yes,the tank is stuck ... hell, my friend tightened it ... hell so if anybody can tell me how to get the tank off I am more than happy. Anyone?
LOL... So now we have to guess which tank is stuck.
Maybe a picture of the problem would expedite a resolution.
For most "Stuck" toppers, a small rod/tool/screwdriver inserted into the AFC should provide the extra leverage needed.
Going forward: SNUG... Snug is as tight as it needs to be. Please chastise your "helpful" friend.

Yeah, I don't know what tank you have, and how badly it is "stuck."
For me, sometimes (and you'd have to be cautious, as it is attached to the battery, a "stuck tank" although it's usually removed from the mod, for me) can be run under warm water which sometimes loosens any eliquid leaking or filling issues that can kind of "fuse" the mod shut. You could also try the freezer (similar situation) although not for long you don't want to (again) damage your mod etc. I would start by using rubber gloves and a rubber mat to see if you generate enough grip and friction to loosen it.
Inserting something into the airholes to use as leverage can sometimes work, but use caution, you don't want to damage anything. Many vape shops will sell ceramic tweezers that come with a "grip your tank" feature (it's just like what they use for stubborn lids, only more tank sized) that can also increase your leverage.
The most important thing is to attack it not too hard, and possibly in stages, as each attempt will probably loosen it some and don't get over frustrated as you go so you don't damage your gear.
If you post what your tank is someone may have their own personal method that tends to be successful with that tank, so probably worth doing (if you haven't already fixed it).
Posting your "solution" on the thread can help others, too, who may be running into a similar issue and may happen across your thread.
Good luck, (unless you already don't need it).

Welcome to the forum, vaping has lots of rules the two that apply here are:
* Always have a backup device
* Never let your friend "screw around" with your vaporizer.

Oh and sorry for everyone about confusiness, I said wrong, my 220w mod is all fine but I mean my another mod. It's a kangertech subox mini 50w. The subtank is so stuck I just cant get it off, I tried using rubberbands etc. Here is a picture about the vape.
Pliers, or insert a thin (durable) rod through the air flow holes to be used as leverage then twist loose.
