Threads locked up.

[Bazooka_Tooth]

I was screwing my kayfun lite clone onto my panzer clone and when i was done screwing it on i realized that one side was not sitting flush, so then i tried to unscrew it, and at that point i realized it was stuck.. Is there any way of fixing this without damaging either the top cap of my panzer or the kayfun deck? I really don't feel like waiting 4 weeks to receive another from slowtech.

I've never owned a kayfun so I have no idea if it has a chip in it or not. Same thing with a Panzer. If it doesn't, take the battery out and submerge the threads in hot water for a little while. Alternatively, you can try to get a good grip with pliers so they don't slip and scratch your mod up. If you have a vice somewhere that'll make for easy unscrewing.

I tried hot water earlier and it wouldn't budge, maybe pliers will do the trick.

If you use pliers, put cloth between the teeth and the metal to try and minimize the scratching.

Let me know how it goes.

Put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.

Is you kfun lite the resin tank? If so don't use pliers, I broke a tank with my fingers. Try a cap snafler & for heat, a hair dryer, not water.
Hope you get this in time..

After a good go with some pliers i managed to take the kayfun off. Good news is that the threads on my panzer cap are fine, but the bad news is that kayfun threads are now ruined and cause it to lock in every time it gets screwed on. Guess i'll be ordering a russian 91 clone next.

Yeah, I've been in this predicament before. On the bright side, you will most likely be hella-paranoid about it happening again so it won't. At least that's what happened to me.

umm, yeah, clone threads to clone threads often highlights quality control issues. Cross threading can happen when care is not taken. Be gentle and try to work it out. Once out take another rba and see if you can rescue the threads. be oh so careful, and think about a Authentic setup for your next vape purchase. Applying a heat gun may help, may not. Good luck.

Every other rba still seems to work fine and doesn't lock on me now. I wish i had a couple hundred bucks to spend on a authentic setup, but i'd rather put that money towards paying my student loans at the moment.
