Just got a beautiful black Loki Labs Odin, and I can't get the darn thing apart to try to coil it! This is my first rda, and I don't want to mess it up. Anyone got an idea what to do? (I don't have big hands).
this is probably a dumb question...

If that doesn't work (rare, but who knows)...
Both hot and cold have their applications, but...
With a seized atty that's been in use, 20 minutes in the freeze can make the difference.
With a new one, other than machine oil on the metals, the O-Rings are usually pretty dry.
I'd start with a hot bath, and dish soap to get things lubed.
At least it's an RDA... no glass to worry about gripping too hard.
Rubber bands, silicone jar lid opener sheets, and latex gloves are handy too (no pun etc.).

First time yesterday taking apart an RDA for me. I watched a YouTube video to see how he took it apart, to make sure I didn't mess it up, lol. Try finding a video for your RBA that will walk you through it.
You'll probably have to put it on a mod, so you'll have more to grab on to. The Odin top cap is notoriously tight; especially when new. Eventually, after you've pulled the cap a few times, it will get a bit looser. Before replacing the cap, run a little juice or VG around the o ring on the base, to lube it a bit.
LOL... reminds me why I never push my MadHatters fully together between serious cleanings and next use.
Damn they're tight.
