RDA Stuck Top Cap - Stillare

[Larry J]

I'd swear I've seen this topic here before, but a search didn't turn up what I needed. The top cap on my Stillare rda (original version, clone) is stuck and won't come off. I've tried the rubber band trick, the rubber kitchen gripper (with and without pliers), prying it off with the tip of a screwdriver, even putting it in the freezer for an hour but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions from anyone? It's one of my favorite RDAs and I'd hate to just trash it, plus the original (three post) seems to be out of production and no one I found has any left in stock so there's no way to replace it. Help, anyone?

I have an authentic Stillare and it can be a witch to get the top cap off. My only suggestion would be to put it on a mod with a very solid 510 connector (something that is all metal like a mechanical mod as opposed to a 510 connector in a plastic or wood body found on a box mod for example) and just pull very hard rocking the top cap back and forth.

Thanks, Firestorm. I appreciate the suggestion but since I don't have anything that solid I may just be out of luck. I've pulled hard enough using the box mods I have that a couple of times I thought I'd pull the 510 connection out. Will keep you posted if I have any other ideas.

These work good for stuck top caps and everything else that ya can't get to come apart.
Maybe put it on an old mod you don't use anymore and give it a good twist and pull
