Stuck Vape Tank : The Solutions
There are several ways to unscrew a stuck vape tank. Let’s run down some of the tried and tested ones.
1. Non-Stick Cloth
This first method is what works for me and my type of tank. I use a rough piece of cloth, an old chamois cloth will work, and simply use it to grip the tank and twist it off.
2. Rubber Gloves
If you have a pair of rubber gloves, simply wear them to get a better grip on your tank. This works like a charm and I know a lot of vapers who’ve purchased a pair of rubber gloves simply to unscrew stuck tanks.
4. Rubber Band Wrap
If you can’t get a piece of cloth to grip your tank properly, and you can’t source a pair of rubber gloves, rubber bands can work.
5. When All Else Fails
For seriously stuck tanks, where the above methods don’t work, you might want to whip out a can of WD-40.

You might have to force it, sounds like the ring got bunched up and stuck, so you might have to tare it and replace the ring. PS: I always lube the rings with a little bit of e- juice, makes it a lot easier later on and they last longer.

The rubber gloves as stated above do work,,but soak atty in PGA first. If there is any juice on your atty it will transfer to the gloves & you are SOL..

You can fold up the rubber gloves and wrap it around the tank, then use the channel lock pliers. Ive done this a few times. As long as something thick is wrapped around it, it wont scratch it

Happens to me all the time. I keep a pair of pliers and one of those flat rubber grippy jar opener things on hand. If you don't have a flat rubber grippy jar opener thing, a rubber band wound tightly on the base will work. Hold onto the base with whatever rubber thing you have, and use the pliers to (gently!) unscrew the top. Good luck!!!
