Nope- not just you. As a matter of fact, this same thing happened last weekend. I don't know what Tap fixed on their end but notifications didn't start working again til Mon.

I don't use Tapa as often as I used to. Pretty much only on the weekends, when I'm out and about.

I use it all the time so I'm not confined to my computer. It's too easy for me to remain in one spot glued to ECF all day long.

For the most part, I'm either at the office, or home. So, Tapa is for weekends, when I'm not at work or home.

I do everything on my phone. I use the full site and was wondering what tapatalk is and what are the advantages?
Tapatalk is a forum hosting site for cell phones. One of the big advantages for me is you will get notifications on your phone if someone posts in a thread you are following, quotes you, or likes one of your posts. Someone else can probably explain it better than I can later today.

Another advantage for TapaTalk is if one participates in multiple forums. I'm on a few (ECF is the only vape related forum), but I can easily navigate to each forum in one convenient location. It's nice to see all the threads in a forum you're subscribed to and see if there are new posts.

Not sure if this is the right spot for this question. I have a tank that is stuck to the center ring of the p3 thread. I have no idea how it got stuck on there like that. Really it is a friend's that I have them. I put it in the freezer. I even tried some vise grips and that sucker is stuck. Any suggestions?

This is what I did, and it came off pretty easy. First I took the top of the tank (glass) off. Then wrapped the tank base with a rag, and put it in a vice. With the P3 ring above the vice. Then wrapped a pair of channel locks with a rag, and used them to turn the ring and it came off easy. And no marks on the tank or ring. Hope this helps.

I will try that if she is at my house again tonight. My wife has this happen all the time and now her. I have yet to have this happen to me. What the heck are these women doing to cause this?

ProVape claimes that this is caused by trying to unscrew the atomizer and the P3 beauty ring at the same time. The 510 threads and the beauty ring threads have differing pitches to them, which makes the P3 beauty ring act as a jamb nut.

I have had this issue a couple times, and only once was it really bad.

is what kind of force I needed to break the locked ring that one time.
It's been asked in several threads about the possibility of ProVape producing a one piece ring, without an answer to date. Calling @Vape360

WOW! i would hate to do that to her stuff. Ya that beauty ring and the 510 are on there good. I thought i was going to break my hand. I finally gave up and put her tank back together as it was. She only has the one tank and the only other thing she could use at this point would be a P3 threaded and she just started vaping and has no idea how to build a thing. Guess i am going to just have to make this work some how for her. Wish me luck.

If she can get by with her tank like it is, maybe order a set of replacement rings, then when they arrive you could sent the stuck tank off to ProVape and let them fix it? Good luck Vic.
