Thanks all,I think the stainless steel threads have bitten into the brass roller connector as it was tight screwing it down.

Sounds to me like you cross threaded it all the way in. The roller connection is toast no matter what you do. If you really want to get them apart, hold your DID connection with vise grips but wrap it in thin rubber or something to protect it. Only clamp it tight enough to keep it from spinning. Take another set of vise grips and clamp them tight onto the treads of the Roller and twist them apart. Not too tight or else you could crush it into the DID threads which will make it even harder to get apart. You will destroy the threads on the roller connection but it's toast anyhow.

Personally, if it was my set-up I'd leave it alone and let them be married together. But of course I'm just a poor guy that can't afford all these nice toys so the choice would be easy for me. LOL

I don't have a vice but if I have to get one I will!

If you have some wood pop sticks to can put them between the pliers to protect the threads the turn the did with taped vice grips

Take the did apart and remove the insulator. Freeze it good then do what jim says with the lighter. Be ready with the two pliers. Tape little pieces of wood on them so you can be quick.

I feel you! My dentist apparently isn't so fond of that method tho...I've chipped 3 teeth now doing that xD
No man made tools will ever replace the effectiveness of teeth, finger nails, and elbow grease.
Put a paper towel on it and use your teeth. That what I would do. You can control how hard you are biting. Just enough to keep it from turning. Tiger style. :)

Okay so it looks like snap pliers are able to get into the grooves with the right ends, hopefully can pick these up at lowes over the weekend. Another ECF member had the same problem and he sent me some photos of the process. What a nice guy, anyway thanks again everyone. I will post again once I have tried and let you know the result.

We're all rooting for you AtlantisBoy, surely something's gotta give soon.
Like was mentioned, don't worry about the DID's SS threads, they're TOUGH as nails.
It's good that it's married to brass, brass is soft and pliable, making for a safer marriage. That's why I went with Brass with my Roller connecter. Like Manos said, it's easier & less expensive to replace the brass 510 connection than it is to replace our SS atomizers! (Cobra, DID, Bliss, etc... so MANY of them out there). Also, like Manos said, they're trying to come up with a better way for us Genny users. Even the Caravella has same problem in this area. Kudos to the 510 connector manufacturer who achieves perfection first. :)
Hang in there, and tackle that beast!

I think Jim is making a replacement base that turns the did on the Poldaic into a hybrid :).
No chance of it breaking then.

I don't know why the ecig community has held onto the 510 connector for as long as it has, there are so many better potential options. The HyDID will solve that problem though!

How have your tests with the pyrex been going cloud? Mine still hasn't come in the mail yet, but you'll be the first to know when it does :D

I've been so busy with work stuff I haven't had time to play. I looked at the tracking and yours is "out for delivery" so you should be able to try it out this weekend.
:)
