AGA-T2 top cap stuck. suggestions?

I traded someone something for this and the top cap seems to be stuck. I'm not super concerned about scratching it but I didn't want to just take a vice grip and pliers to it yet either.
any suggestions?

Grab it with a paper towel and rock it back and forth while pulling. When you put it back on, lube the rings with a little juice.

That worked great! Thanks. I was a little afraid to try anything else.

The top cap on my aga t2 drives me nuts sometimes, even lubed with juice, its hard to get off...

How do you like it? I just ordered one to try out.

After rebuilding protank heads for several months now, the aga t2 actually seems easier. I just got tired of messing with all those little coil parts. I don't care if I have to fiddle with the aga a little bit every day to keep it running great, because everything's right there in front of you. The performance was almost mind blowing after moving up from my pt2 which I thought was great. It's like fireworks going off under the top cap. So far I've been staying around 1.2 ohms, so I can fire it on both my itaste svd and my k100. I played around a bit with sub ohms today, had a working coil of .7 ohms and didn't much care for it. It was crazy good, but the vapor was more than I wanted and it fired so fast, I had to keep the fill screw out and the right amount of tilt just to keep up. That fill screw is really important to me to prevent leaking when I'm not vaping. Plus it seemed harder to prevent the hotspot forming from the top coil to the positive post.

Anyways, long story short, since setting it up with the mesh that came with it and drilling out the top cap air hole to 1/16", I haven't even been tempted to go back to my protank.

lol, I feel like an idiot, just removed one of the two o-rings that hold the top cap on and its perfect for me now...

Ended up removing one of mine fed up of it getting stuck.
