I've read that putting it in the freezer for a little while can help, never tried it. I usually put on some rubber gloves to give me a little extra grip.
So frustrating, I guess I can return the darn thing, been trying for 15 mins now.
Just tried rubber gloves, I cant get it unscrewed !!! wow - I'll try the paper-towel thing soon, my hands hurt.
Try a rubber thingy for getting lids off jars. Anything rubber...gloves, rubber band.
Got off phone with vapordna They will send me a replacement part instead of returning the entire unit and getting another... Have to wait till Monday tho... Not happy. In the meantime its in the freezer for 1 hr then ill try again with rubber gloves... Wish I had the tools for this.
Thanks for all the tips but it is not moving so I'm stuck with a paperweight. My hands are sore from trying so much 
Might try tomorrow.
So you wrap narrow strips of duck-tape around the chimney cap and chimney?
Came to me like this brand new, happened at the factory level during the assembly phase I'm guessing.

I had the same problem with mine I got from vapordna I just used it and tried to take it apart every time I rebuilt it and one day it finally came apart.
You need 2 pairs of vise grips. Put a washcloth or something on each part to keep the tools from scratching it. Lock them down and twist.
That did it, thanks Roxy!!!! - Flattened the top tube in the process so I had to reshape it some
Seems to work fine, works better than my EHPro Kayfun so I'm happy.
I have a Russian 1.0 with the same issue (never managed to get that cap off), and just received my Russian 2.0 in the same conditions, gonna try to losen it now, if nothing works gonna have to contact vapordna
What do you know, tried everything again, even contacted vapordna, and then my father suggested and old truckers trick, let it sink in coke for a while, tried again, the top cap unscrew with no effort at all, lol.
Really? Oh man this thing gave me so much trouble - VaporDNA is sending me a Authentic Russian Chimney tube and cap still, Nice to know coke works
Btw, did you manage to fill it using the fill port? I ended up using the top fill again, I get liquid all over the place using the syringe bottle.
Really? Yeah the fill port is working great... Do you have a needle tip bottle... Not plastic tip but metal tip ? I push it in 1mm then it kind of passes a bearing then you know your good, give it a try again... It doesn't go in far, maybe 2-3mm total .. its very subtle.
Out of everything I tried so far I love my Russian 2.0 and will pick up a black 91% tomorrow, these things give me the best VTF, love em!
