Tank base stuck and won't come off?

[abraxas5]

Sister gave me her old EVOD starter kit so I could try it out and get a feel for vaping. While trying to change the coils and put new drops in the thing,
the base on the tank wouldn't seem to come off (the metal piece at the bottom of the piece), it's screwed so tight on I can't get it off
at all. I tried my hands, no luck, I tried pliers and all I'm doing is stripping the metal off the base. Does anybody either:

1) Know if I could pour my drops through the mouthpiece somehow? Would that hurt the tank

2) Know of a way I can get this base unscrewed without hurting it

Thanks

Try putting the entire unit into the freezer for a couple of hours, and then attempt to unscrew the tank from the battery. Hopefully the metal parts will constrict enough to loosen the connection with an amount of force.

Put some cloth between the metal and pliers to avoid scratches on the metal.

Got a rubber band or a rubber glove? That may help.

I've heard the freezer works great, but I've also had luck blowing into the drip tip to loosen the vacuum that's sometimes created inside tanks.

All suggestions were incredibly helpful, thanks!
I ended up making a ice/water slurry in a shallow dish and standing the tank up in it. I gave it a few minutes and then wrapped an elastic band around the base, and in combination with pliers it came off easy! Thanks again everybody.

Yay!!

I'd be cautious using the BATTERY if it got WET. Electronics don't like water. Should a battery or mod ever get wet, place it in a shallow bowl with dry rice and allow it to completely dry out before trying to use it.
