Stuck protank? Help!!!

[Charheartsyou]

I've had this problem with both kanger protank 1 & protank 2: the threaded base gets stuck to the bottom and will not twist off! The protank 2 has the benefit of removing the glass but this is only adding to my problem. I can not for the life of me separate these pieces!! My thumbs are dying. Anyone else had the same experience and found a solution?? It doesn't happen all the time. I'm conscious about not putting it on too tight but the problem still occurs every so often.

Rubber gloves are a life saver in such a situation.

I use a wrench or a dishrag

Or a hammer if I get really upset

You will have to be careful doing it this way but I have used needle pliers. I also use them on the older style T3 tanks while rebuilding them

Are you talking about the bases of the PT's not unscrewing from the rest of the PT? This is the first I have every heard of this kind of a problem. Certainly not happening here. Are you sure you aren't screwing the base on too tight? It's that, or you have somehow cross threaded the things and screwing them apart - or together for that matter - is going to be a royal pain.

the coil part or its stuck on the battery?

Needle nose 1st

If you want wrap a towel round it and use the needle nose.

I've even used a small vice grip opened up wide so as notto squeeze tight

Good luck
VAPE ON

Hey everyone,

I had this problem last night. My base & coil was stuck over tightened in the metal ring piece so i wrapped a small elastic band around the base piece and the inside rectangle protruding out of the metal ring piece. I then took a pair of pliers to each end and twisted hard in opposite directions. It finally came apart and now i can vape again!

flip the pro tank upside down then unthread the top part.

Take some channel locks and unthread the base. Be careful not to over tighten it after putting it back on.

I lol'd at this because it's something I would do.

You can try the lid opener pads that you can pick up at any box store, or just try rubber dish gloves as stated above.
