So the top cap on my skyline is stuck and the 510 adapter from provari is stuck to connector pin (even though I removed the screw) Tried everything freezer, rubber gloves, nothing works. I'm wondering if I should just break the glass to get it off since I have 6 spares. Can anyone offer any advice this is so frustrating.
If you have to break it, break it mate, youve got six spares

get some rubber kitchen gloves, turn the atty upside down, grip the glass and top cap firmly in your hand and use force to unscrew (counter clockwise the base)

Alternatively you can take off the AFC ring and insert a 2mm screwdriver though both openings. This will create a lever that will allow you to unscrew the base.

What's not unscrewing ?? - the deck?
The base and the top/ chimney. Even though I have this atty for about 2-3weeks it's the first time since getting it I removed it from my mod and took it apart for a proper cleaning.Thats how good of a vape it's been for me so basically I'm still within the learning curve with this atty.

How do u go about taking it apart I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if it's stuck but I can see some of the bottom threading of the chimney.

okay..

1. Firmly hold top section
2. unscrew deck anti clockwise
3. if the deck doesn't come free, remove AFC ring and insert a 2mm screwdriver between the slots to act as a lever.
4. Once deck is removed, screw down JFC as far as it will go, and using your little finger, spin out the chimney jfc piece.

you will then have

1. A deck
2. A chimney
3. a tank top piece that is joined to the outer housing of the chimney. This is one piece

Alright thnks yonjuro turns out I screwed that chimney way too tight. I used a 5mm socket to get it separated finally.
Only problem now is that the juice control is stuck in the open/up position
