Hey! I dropped my ego batt/atomizer. I guess it landed at an angle atomizer down, now I can't get them apart. Threads must have been damaged. Are either of these pieces salvageable? How do I get them apart? Thanks!
HELP! Dropped my rig and now battery and atomizer are stuck

Ouch! If it feels like it's seized... rotate the thing around at eye level and see if you can detect any angle going on there. Anything that indicates the atomizer is now in the 510 connector at an angle. If things look slightly crooked when you rotate - yep, it hit with enough force to seize the atomizer threads into the 510 connector. Not knowing exactly what atomizer you have on there - you aren't talking about a glass ProTank are you? - trying giving the atomizer end of things some slight taps against a hard surface to see if you can get the seized threads to release. Expect connections to the battery to be a little sloppy from now on, depending on how much the drop mashed the edges of the threading.
Yikes... Do you have a Back-Up or is this your Only Set-Up?
Because if you have a Back-Up you can be More Aggressing trying to separate the Two.
I would suggest attempting to tighten first. Minimize possible damage area to the lower threads. Then attempt to unscrew.
Hold pressure to force straight.

Before you do anything put it in the freezer. This will slightly shrink things and make it a little looser hopefully

Thanks for replies! It is not my only setup, but I'd hate to lose them anyway. It's a standard LR 510 atomizer on a large manual ego battery. It does appear that the atomizer is sitting in at an angle. Booo! Will freezing it cause damage to the battery?
Remove from fridge once the chattering teeth of the Lithiumatoms can be heard...
Naw, but they usually deliver less when cold. Leave it be at room temperature for 24 hours. Should be anough for the bnattery to warm up and for any dew ( potential for shorts ) to evaporate

I'd Skip the Freezer. Batteries Don't Like Cold Temperatures.
I'm wrap the Battery in Tape and then Break Out the Handyman's Fix All.
Don't Grab the Battery with the Pliers if you Don't have to. The Tape is Only to give you Better Grip on the Batter so it Doesn't Turn when you Twist the Atty with the Channel Locks.
With my SID, I used a hand on the device and a hand on the tube, and "bent" the angle out of the connection.... And yes, that thread is now pretty shot, but I put a 510 to Ego adapter on it and it works just fine. Just a bit taller
