Hi there...

"Never give up trying to give up"

Hello and welcome to aaec.

[Yasmin]

Thank you everyone.

So I received my kit now, iStick & Mini Nautilus. Unfortunately, for the life of me, I cannot unscrew the Nautilus Have read the manual, followed the instructions accordingly. Unscrew anti clockwise, used the rubber gloves even but that damn thing is still not budging. Grrrr!!! I know it happened to a few people. Is this manufacturer defect or I have to persevere..... Thank you.

They can be tight so persevere, once you get it apart don't re tighten too much.

Try elastic bands wrapped around each half your trying to get apart, gives much better grip.

Failing that contact chainmaker for a set of vape grips, only £4 plus postage

Pop it into some hot tap water and leave for 10 mins, and then have another go with the Marigolds! The heat should mean that either the glass or the metal will heat up at slightly different rates, and may cause enough differential to allow you to unscrew it. Just make sure that you don't screw it back too tight - they only need to be sealed not rock solid.

Failing that, a short spell in the freezer might work 

[Yasmin]

Ok the heat & cold principle. Got it. Thank you very much. I'll try again tomorrow as I am too hacked off now
If this still fails, I'll be screaming for help among the Londoners

freezer then elastic bands for grip. I'm East London, near M25 if all else fails..

[Yasmin]

Tried the tap hot water, freezer, rubber gloves & elastic bands, the bugger is still refusing to come undone. I give up now!
The vendor said I can return it to him for replacement, so that's what I am going to do. Gonna get him to unscrew before sending it off just to be on the safe side....

[Pepperty]

aww, that's a bit of a rum start back to vaping hope you get sorted soon.

I know you said you were back on the smokes but is there a specific reason to why you want to get back onto zero nicotine? rather than starting low to combat your tobacco/nicotine urge - is 0 nic enough to stop you wanting to light up..

[reddragon]

Don't want to teach grandma to suck eggs, but you are trying to unscrew the bottom and not the top? Just a thought as the top won't unscrew until the base is off.

I find them stiff sometimes and tend to hold the base and turn the glass, that works for me. Good luck

[Yasmin]

Hehehe. Yeah it's the bottom that I am trying to unscrew reddragon. I thought it's my lack of strength but a male neighbour tried it as well & even he can't get to it to budge.

[Yasmin]

Hey Pepperty I hate the stinky smell of ciggies but I love the smoking movement itself; blowing smokes if you see what I mean. I have been known to be smoking a lot or simply don't touch it for a few years just like that. I guess it depends on my state of mind & boredom
