I've successfully used a thin screwdriver as a prybar for getting my old subtank off an eVic before.

Gentle is key in this case and this is at your own risk

So do I obviously take my tank and coil off then put the bottom bit in water? Won't that damage the 510pin connection?

Might get it off, but the Sigelei will be shot for sure.

Every person who owns a vape should also own a pair of marigold goves,

Cheap and effective way of removing those stubborn tight tanks... and good for cleaning the dishes too when you're done! (Or cleaning your tanks )

well, didn't read the sig. line

Yea, best to not get the Sigelei wet

These work great for grip

If you haven't had it off the mod for a couple of months then I am sure at least a bit of your juice has seeped in there and locked the 2 pieces together. What I would do is use a bit of alcohol and work it down into the threads. I know it isn't going to be easy to get it in there. Just lay it on its side and slowly drip the alcohol there where the two join. Hopefully it will work its way in to where it needs to be. Good luck.

I like the freezer method first. Cold shrinks the metal and won't harm anything.
Also could try hitting the base of the tank with a hair drier on High to heat it up and use same gloves to see if it loosens.

I've used my heat gun with satisfactory results..

You should take apart as much of the tank as you can so you can prevent any damage and other parts coming loose. Avoid tools as much as possible since you can damage or bend parts. Try a bunch of rubber bands or rubber gloves like others said. You want to hold the mod down flat on an edge of a table so you can apply more force on the 510 base. Push inwards as you turn the base loose.

Have you tried the "righty tighty, lefty loosey" method? i try to rinse it first.

This ^^^ is what I would try first.

Next would be the freezer for 30 minutes and repeat the above.

If that didn't work, I would use large vise grip pliers with a small strip of fine/med emery cloth or sand paper, grit towards the atty base. I would go slow and increase pressure on the vise grips in steps.

Good luck with it!
