It seems to happen only when the deck has been coated in juice. When dry, I havent seen that issue arise. You could try the pliers method but you risk damaging your threads. I would not recommend it unless its a last resort. Also, be careful if your insulator is the clear variety and not the brown peek material or else it could melt on you from normal use. Mine did. Good luck!

Right after I posted I sanded the edges a little then "lightly" put the cap back on again, it stuck again. It cam off faster after smacking it on the counter (AGAIN). Come to think of it, I think that's what I did to finally get the base off the first time.
Well if in doubt, use a hammer.
the walls of the barrel are thin. watch out banging it... may bend.

You're braver than I am! But hey, if it works for you, then vape on man!
I've got about 7 little cuts on my hands (like paper cuts) from messin" with this thing.
I emailed kanger USA with all my info and they emailed me back saying all subtank minis come with the new insulators...
Dumb question alert: I'm guessing the Nano doesn't have this insulator because it doesn't have the RBA deck? I think. I hope, because I bought a Nano.
You are 100% correct. I had a pyrex drip tip on an old protank - that did the trick on the mini. Thanks!! Comfortably vaping the crap out of the .5 OCC again, - Nice tip.
Did you ask whether they meant the clear ones or the brown peek ones? As far as Im aware, all of the minis will come with the brown insulators from now on. Its only those already on shelves that have the clear ones (which have issues)
The nano has no RBA deck, so you are good to go! I got my girlfriend a Nano and its has been outstanding. No issues whatsoever.
Where did you get the drip tip? I found a pirex one place online but was $12.
I don't know why I'm having a different experience but with the 0.5 OCC and rba I'm having a great cool flavorful vape at 22 watts and no desire to go higher :/. I went to 24-25 watts and felt the heat but the vapor/flavor wasn't noticeably better to me. It certainly wasn't worth burning my lips.
I just emailed them back detailing exactly which insulators I have. Still awaiting their response. Has anyone just bought the brown ones off their website? I'm just wondering what the delivery time is like...
Its relatively fast from what I've heard. Dont forget you would have to pay shipping if you went that route. That being said, if you bought a unit that has the clear insulator, in my opinion it should be up to kanger to provide you with the updated safe insulator free of charge....
Let us know how it goes

Alright here it is, directly from kanger:
"Please be informed that the Mini RBA already upgraded and both transparent and light brown insulator is in same function. Kangertech only send the SUBTANK RBA insulator in free of charge, for Mini RBA insulator, you need to send back the insulator to our customer service center at 11555 Medlock Bridge Rd. Suite 100, Johns Creek, GA 30097. Once receive your Mini RBA insulator, we will arrange the insulator for you"
That seems very odd to me. If they are the "same function" why have they made the newest brown ones in two sizes? One fits the original subtank and the other fits the mini. They are shipping them together from what Ive witnessed on reddit. If they are truly the same function (which they aren't, otherwise they would be selling the clear ones on their service page and have no need to make an upgraded brown one) then why are they asking you to send them back? And why are they replacing other people's clear insulators free of charge? I feel they are giving you the run around on this one.... Kinda shady honestly...

Maybe because they want mine to melt before they replace it. What should I do?
