bottom of "tank head" stuck on evic

[AlphaMamba]

Hey guys,

I have 2 protanks I use with my evic. Now the bottom part of one of the tanks that screws into the control head is stuck

(the part that the coil screws into....the coil comes out fine but the other part is stuck!)

What should I do to get it off?

Thanks

Picture?

Probably a pair of needle nose pliers and a steady hand. Rule number two is don't overtighten, after rule number one: backups to backups.

I had that same issue first time I tried to remove mine. Pliers and never tighten that hard again!

.......!!!!

Dont have a pic on me, but Im sure you guys know which part Im talking about (whats that part called?)

Guess I will have to buy a pair of needle nose

as for backups, that means a backup of the evic control head if I cant get this off?

Not backups for your backups of your backups...aka SPARES when things go kaput or kablooey on you...this way you can keep vaping

The part you are talking about is the 510 thread connector...that teeny screw thingy that snaps off or sticks if you tighten it too tight

Only way to get it out is to have something either you can grab it with or wedge into it and unscrew it WITHOUT damaging the threads on the inside of the battery head

Not like it isn't a semi-common occurrence

Thanks guys,

I think I tightened so hard because for whatever reason I kept trying these coils and it kept reading atomizer not found, I tried tightening loosening this and that until it worked... took a while!

Then now that I want to change tanks I cant get this thing off arrghhhhh... ok will buy plyers

If you don't have any pliers, try some other tips mentioned in the threads that WarHawk linked above.

Start with the easy ones--grab a pencil and put a rubber band around the eraser for some extra traction. See if that works.

Or try a screwdriver.

Wait the whole bottom is on there...and it's too tight to take off by hand?

OOOOOOH, I'm afraid you might have cross threaded it and might have boogied up your 510 connection.

Grab a towel or your shirt (something to give you extra "traction" and try to unscrew, gently)...I am afraid bad bad things just happened

If you can't get it out, you're going to need a new head.

You also need extra batteries, extra chargers, extra clearomizers, cartomizers, coils...

have a thread thick thread I mean fold 2 wrap it around the part you want to remove put a scrw driver or somtehing in the loop and gently try to turn on wrapping direction. This may help. and if any no atomiser sign you try to get middle part of the clearo out a little, dont work hard on evic

I believe you did exactly what I did. I was able to unacrew everything but it took a bit of cloth (for traction and to not damage the threaded base) and some pliers.

The the atomizer is not being recognized because the coil wasn't screwed properly into the threaded base therefore not making contact with the battery when assembled.

The threaded base was screwed on too tight and may have gotten cross threaded, thus difficult to remove.

Give it some elbow grease, gently untwist, and reassembly carefully (snug but not locktite).

Good luck!

Use the rubber band trick. Wrap it around the bottom piece of the tank and twist. It works miracles since I get things stuck all the time.
