Threads stuck on my new RDA...Help!!

[Vapeaholic]

I received my new Helios in the mail today, and I can't get the darn thing apart. The threads are stuck. I've cut the skin off my fingers from the grooves and it still won't give. I have a rubber strap that I've used to grip it tightly, and nothing. Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions?

Sorry, not any help from me. Someone will be along though!

Put it in the freezer for an hour- and give it a try- if it doesn't give - quickly run HOT water on ONE of the sections and quickly try again-
Worth a try--------

Did you manage to get it off? I'm in a desperate situation just like you were.
Please tell me something worked.

The top cap is a 3 part assembly. The top part threads to the bottom part right above the airflow control ring. The whole top cap goes over the deck and is secured by 2 O-rings. Twist off the top of the top cap and push down from the center post while holding the bottom of the top cap should get the deck out. Before putting the deck back in, put a little e-liquid on the O-rings. It will make it easier to remove when you need to rebuild. Hope that helps.

Neither the tank halves or the deck will turn.
It's spending the night in the freezer, and will try again in the morning. I had to walk away from it for a bit, before I ended up with a little Helios sized hole in the wall.
Thanks for the ideas.
