Vivi Nova 2.8 ml

[kimran73]

I have a vivi nova 2.8 ml. I went to take it apart to clean and bottom cap was on so tight I was unable to turn. I ended up having to use pliers to get it to turn. Now the threading head is slightly bent and difficult to screw on my battery. Just now I went to take it apart again to see if maybe that piece is replaceable and again it's so tight I can't turn it. I made sure last time to not put it so tight??? Is this a common problem with these and is that bottom piece replaceable or should I just get new tank? I did notice though that there is hardly anything to even grip to try to turn so should I stay away from these? I don't want to spend more money on something that will have same problem. I also have innokin iClear30 3ml. It has much larger base and is easy to take apart but I don't care for the look of it. Thanks for any tips and/or suggestions.

boy, it's hard to say without seeing it (pics?)

but either way the tank is bent and maybe crossthreaded (or bad threaded)

and maybe ruined , or going to ruin your battery...

so you have to ask yourself if it is worth chancing harm to your battery threads
rendering it un-useable or move on to another tank until you work it out...

Oh, thanks pufZepplin. I didn't know it might hurt battery. I will stop using and get another. I have plenty backups so it's no problem. I think I'm going to try the ProTank II, bottom coil w/ replaceable drip tip. Little more expensive but probably worth it. Plus it comes with 2 extra coils anyway.
