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.
Stuck Vape Tanks : Final Tip

So I got my new coil and was vaping again but I must have over tightened the tank when screwing it on.Now it's time for a refill and I can't get this stupid tank apart.I have tried rubber gloves and I put it in the freezer for 10 minutes too but it won't budge.

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!!!

I do sometimes wonder if threads such as this are posted just to enjoy waiting for the obvious answer, which i have no doubt everyone knows already. Which i'm going to type anyway.

As you vape down the e-liquid, the pressure rises within the tank. There is always a little bit of ejuice around the seals of the tank and it creates that vacuum. Breaking that vacuum without breaking the tank is the goal. Does this help?

my Atlantis v2 tank has become too tight to unscrew by hand and I'm considering using pliers to open it. will this damage my tank or is there any better ways to go around unscrewing it?

If you must use pliers wrap some fabric around the atty first! When I first started vaping I did the same thing and made the mistake of taking the pliers directly to the atty. Scratched the shit out of it...

Get a small pin that will fit in the airflow hole, and use that as leverage to turn. The smaller the air hole the better
