Hello from Vancouver Island been analog free for 12 days now and thanks to this site, it has helped me find a setup that works for me. Spinner 1300 and a t3s tank and 3 diffrent juices for around 50 bucks and I am pretty happy saving 80 bucks after 2 weeks. Now my question I noticed in the last 2 days I have to use pliers to undo my tank and the threads have blackened. Is this normal or am I making it to tight etc ?

Welcome to ECF and congrats on 12 days! Great group of folks here. Always supporting and helpful.
As for your questions I can't say I've run across this so I can't say for sure what the issue is. If you touch the threads are they sticky? Is there a notable amount of juice on the battery contact when you unscrew it? Can the blackened substance be cleaned off easily with a damp rag?
My theory is you have a bad o-ring somewhere and its leaking a little. And if the blackened threads are on the spinner itself that its heating the leaking juice and its acting like glue in the threads.
You should be able to hand tighten to just snug and it should be fine. Let me know any of the above you can. As detailed as you can is always helpful.
Once again welcome!

Hello and congrats on your twelve days
It's easy to over tighten things. there's really no need to make it too tight. From my own experience the blackening is something that is common. just clean your equipment regularly. I just use hot water Q-tips or paper towel. Keeping the blackened threads and stuff clean is suppose to help everything maintain a good electrical contact and you also don't want liquid getting inside of places it's not meant to be inside of.

Hello and welcome to ecf.
First of all, you should only be tightening until it is a snug fit. If it is snug and does not fire when you push the button, that means the firing pin at the center of the battery(when it makes contact with your clearo/carto, etc) has been pushed down and needs to be lifted a little bit.
And a good habit to get into is to clean the inside and outside of the battery threads and get rid of the black stuff. The black stuff is caused because of the electrical current contact to heat the carto/clearo. I liken it to a car's spark plugs, they need cleaned too to keep a car running better.
Hope this has helped a little.

Thanks guys , I think I was making it too tight, my atomizer was running pretty warm and now much cooler with just a snug fit. Must be all the oxygen I am getting now causing super human strength
I use some isopropyl alcohol and a baby toothbrush every so often to clean the battery threads.
