Guess which idiot dropped his Kayfun?

[Chris]

Yes that would be me, and on the first day of using it out and about.

Threads on top of the glass tank moved on one side leaving the tank a little lopsided - could not unscrew it. I have managed to push it so it is once again flush but it still will not unscrew. 

The internet told me to put it in a freezer for 15 minutes ..... is the internet trolling me?

[blakey]

Nope, that'll help you to unscrew the tank and then you'll hopefully be able to re-fit it again

[VapingBad]

Done that and fond that I had to whack it straight before unscrewing, I got five cheap clear sections from FT for the next five times, nothing else on it likely to break.

Yeah, the problem is that it is currently straight and still won't unscrew.

I will finish this juice off and then slap the fused pieces into the freezer.

I had to stick the whole tank section in a small vice and gently squeeze it till it clicked straight, then I was able to unscrew it. I knew something was wrong because the juice just poured out the air hole lol.

Heat and col affect metal, it expands and contracts but if like me you're using the clear section it might not work as well. I have found using a towel helps to get a better grip when unscrewing it.

I did similar with mine but not on first day

Just gave the top cop a clout with a hammer, with a small piece of wood between hammer and top cap. All back in place and unscrewed no problem using a couple of elastic bands.

I did have visions of smashing it to smithereens before I hit it though, my tank was PMMA though, so if yours is actually glass I wouldn't introduce a hammer can you actually get a glass tank for a kayfun ?

My little expedition into the vaping world is always somewhat comical - and my coiling skills are rivalled by none - as I am sure Steve (VapeStorm) will vouch for.

I didn't mean glass, just the standard clear section that comes with the Hcigar 3.1 clone.

Then get your hammer out, or as enjoy suggests squeeze the whole shebang in a vice.

Chris's coiling is diabolical! But on the up side I get a pint everytime I show him how to coil properly lol

Maybe you could nip round with a hammer 

[Deleted]

Done the same,

Dropped mine from top of the stairs, everything went in slow motion , the tank cracked , so used metal one for a few days and ordered spare clear tanks.

Will never run up the stairs again .
