I was wondering if anyone is having the same problem with their tank? After I finish my juice up and I try to refill it by twisting off the bottom, it's Wayyyy too tight. I even try to run it over hot water and twist it off but it's too tight. I've had to use tools just to get it off and it's scratching my tank. Has anyone had the same problem or have any suggestions?

mine is like perpetually stuck. i usually just leave it be and eventually it seems to twist off, for a very limited time.
it was suggested to me to freeze the two caps first before running it under hot water. makes sense but haven't tried it.

No, I haven't had that problem at all. Do you mean the 510 connector on the original Lemo in order to access the fill screw?
One thing I have noticed for the two chimney pieces is to get them apart, the lighter the touch, the better. The Lemo parts are a little on the thin side, and gripping them harder may be causing them to go out of round. So I would like you to try a lighter touch and see if it helps.

I haven't had any problems with the bottom like you have described. I do however try to be careful when putting them on my mods. I don't try to over tighten and I don't try to tighten with the tank... only with the base if that makes sense. Now the chimney section I would have to agree with Roxy on this. I have also noticed it seems to get easier with more use like the threads smooth out over time. Also when I break it down to clean try leaving the two chimney parts together when unscrewing from the base then unscrewing the chimney pieces separate. I makes it amazingly easy to break down. Hope this helps and good luck.
Oh one other note...wet paper towels are your friends. Makes gripping a whole lot easier during break down.

I use the rubber plug that comes with the Lemo [drop]. Its a ring/spacer that keeps the base from getting tight, in fact I leave the base on my mod when refilling, less ware on the 510 threads.
Then how do you refill it? Do you just old the glass piece in place? Then fill it?
I replaced the fill hole screw with the silicon plug. Its a ring or spacer that comes with the Lemo.
The very bottom piece of the original Lemo. The one with the knurled edge. I don't "crank" it down. If it is stuck I just unscrew the deck base from it. And/Or, a touch of juice on the threads.
Not Me, and I have 3 Lemo's and 2 Drops, ALL of the Original version. Sounds like either you Over Tightened the base section OR cross threaded the base section. Now that said, I always have to tighten the base section up with a little extra umph or else my resistance reading will be off by 0.1 or 0.2, usually higher than it should be, meaning if I put the bottom section (510 base) on normally I might have a 1.5 ohm reading, but, if I then put a little extra twist on the base my reading will drop to 1.3 at the most. This is NOT a rule as ALL things Chinese are differently made with different tolerances, I get the impression that they constantly adjust/re-adjust the equipment during their production runs as I've seen a pic of one with a Smooth 510 pin (No threads to screw into the Atty). I can see where the base section could get cross threaded due to manufacturing sloppiness between the base and body sections, on a couple of mine screwing the base on IS sometimes a tedious affair at times as they just don't want to line up just right. I still use my screws to Fill/Re-Fill, I've just never tried that little silicone plug, as the screw has never failed me. Hope you can get it all figured out.
P.S. YES, the Top/Bottom chimney sections are a PITA to get apart sometimes and just what Roxy said, a light touch works alot better, but all in all I really like the Lemo.
I have not (yet) had that problem with the Lemo II which is the one I have. But I've had it happen with other atties. When that happens rather than using hot water (which technically further expands the metal) I pop the offending item into the freezer for some minutes. That usually works...... unless I forget I had actually popped an item into the freezer and spend two days looking for it till my very short, short-term memory comes back to me.

Yeah, Really, and 6 months later when you go to get a steak out to grill, open the freezer door and am greeted with about 6 atty's rolling out and you trying NOT to let them hit the floor.
Edit; I only laugh cause at times I have a memory like a 5 year old and I feel for ya.

Laughter is the best medicine.
I spend half my days laughing at myself.... the rest of the time I sleep. ROFLThank you everyone for all your help, I'm going to pop it in the freezer for a few minutes and see what happens. I'm guessing I should take the juice out of it?
I had this problem with an Atlantis and a Smok VCT. The Atlantis was stuck for months and the VCT for weeks. The other day I started messing with them and instead of twisting normal I pushed it together and both tanks came apart.
Wow that's different! We're the threads messed up in any way?? Any idea what from?
I screwed it onto a 510 connection in my atty graveyard. Problem solved.
