First off, read this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/altsmoke/38909-how-care-your-sb.html

Get a pair of rubber grip gloves from lowes, while you are there get some NOALOX, apply it to the threads. The gloves will help you get it apart. DO NOT put it in a vice or use plyers to get the SB apart. If you can still not get it apart, send me a PM.

In your bushes, watching you undress
I'll add this... just in case you don't have a good hardware store close by that carries NOALOX for some reason, you can use any good gun lubricant (I have used Break-Free with success before finding my NOALOX). Get it into the threads, then screw it closed again. Work it back and forth to work the lube into the threads and you'll be able to get it apart again.

It's REALLY important to lube the threads! My SB seized up in the first day of use. Luckily I was able to get it unthreaded just enough to drip some hand soap in there and let it soak into the threads for a couple seconds. Came apart easily after that.

Still can't find any aluminum polish or anti seize compounds here in Japan. Regular bolt anti-seize lube has worked excellently so far though. Just smells like crap for a while :(

I have been sending Rob e-mails for three days and can't get a reply.I am just trying to get an update on when the silver bullet will be available. Trying to decide on that or a Prodege. I guess I will just get which ever one comes out first. :confused:
LOL I prank Rob all the time with email and live support, maybe I should stop doing it :p
