I just got my nautilus mini this week and I love it, but I am having the same problem. It's so hard to unscrew and refill.
New vaper need serious help with my tank (its stuck closed)

I think the plastic wrap idea is worth its weight in gold, while I haven't had issues with atomizers I've used that trick on other screwy things that needed unscrewing.
I'd also suggest looking at the threading and maybe hitting the threads with a bit of metal polish and maybe a buffer wheel. Smooth threads are both easier to keep clean and go on and off a bit easier.
As has been mentioned, don't over tighten stuff, you just need good metal to metal contact, no real torque is needed.

I couldn't open my Nautilus Mini when I got it a couple of days ago; the seal seems to create a really strong vacuum. I tried heat, cold, rubber gloves. In the end I resorted to paper towel around the base and pliers which freed it enough to finish off with rubber gloves. I was sure it was resolved, filled it and didn't over tighten but when it needed a refill, I couldn't open it again and nothing worked this time. So I googled and as a last resort I tried some advice off a different thread. I completely covered the base and the top in thick rubber bands, wrapped the base in two layers of kitchen roll and stuck it in the gap between a door and the frame (hinge side). Pulled the door closed, just enough to bite and making extra sure it was only on the metal and not near the glass I rotated the Atty. It only needed a couple of small gentle turns, no force necessary and it freed it brilliantly. I hope that helps.
Mine was super tight at first too, but after some use opens and closes appropriately

I've had this problem 3 times. I used the rubber band suggestion referred to in this thread and I was amazed! Opened like a charm! Thanks!
Grip the bottom as tight aa you can and try tightening the top portion that screws onto the tank. It might budge just slightly. Then try unscrewing the base, keeping gotten pressure on the tank instead of the top threads.
I bought those little sticky rubber mats that are sold to magically make your cell phone stick to your car dash. Those things are grippy! And they're like a dollar! I cut them into strips and keep them in my build box just in case...
I've a habit of vaping almost all my juice in the tank which will create a huge vacuum. So now when I get to a low level in the tank, I give the top where the tip goes a bit of a turn to break the seal. No problems since. And, yes, I've used pliers, mouse pad, and freezer methods too. 
I used a vice grip on the base (the ring below the adjustable airflow), and a thick rubber band on the top (the kind that comes with a bunch of broccoli). Hold the vice grip firm and turn the top using the rubber band. Once you break the vacuum seal it becomes easy.
Good luck!
Good luck!
