Aerotanks Problems undoing

I bought a provari 510 to ego adapter and its a complete bugger - catches on most threads and locks onto tank bases, so I really feel your pain. Twice this month I've been through the saga of adapter stuck inside mini protanks but these are the ones without a deep flange. The provari adapter wasn't cheap but its crud, my 40 pence fasttech ones behave better!

Now isn't that strange . . . I've found them to be the best 510 to Ego Adapter I've got/used Pep, worth every penny!

Just goes to prove, yet again, the known unknown variables in our vaping world.

Aerotanks, hmmmmmm, more than a few problems with these, generally when using it with the VTR. Firstly because you are restricted in how much purchase you can get on the tank when it is fitted and secondly the fact that the airflow adapter likes to unscrew from the tank. I must admit that i've never had an issue with it on other devices though although you still have to be careful that the airflow doesn't unscrew from the tank when removing it. These days i don't use mine, there are better tanks out there IMO.

The Aerotank Mini on my istick has been fine up to now, thankfully. It's only used at work though, so doesn't get that much hammer. The only downer is being so small and a side filler, it's easy to end up with juice running down the centre and out, but that's PEBKAC.

(apart from sticky rubber matting mentioned in the previous post, but I have no idea what that is as I don't drive)

Greeny1210 try some of this from your local wicks.
Spray directly onto the adapter to shrink it.
This stuff freezes water in pipes so plumbers can cut the pipe without turning the water off, so its bloody cold.
There's also an automotive version for rusted threads but i cant find a link at the mow

'Crack it' was the brand name of the car stuff if that helps.

Not one of my five Aerotanks works on the iStick, Cloupor mini, Hana clone or Vamo, no matter how I faff about pulling out the connectors. All consigned to the demmick drawer.

Have you managed to get it of ,?? I had a tank I screwed wrong and it wouldn't budge with anything then I put some of them thin throw away rubber cloves on and it gave me the traction to move because u couldn't grip it hard without slipping it did come apart and it it was stuck solid good luck

Wow this is an insteresting thread, my aerotanks and aero minis live on my isticks never any problems. Aerotanks are v1's and got v1 bases on my protank 3 fabs work combos.

No Guys still not sorted the adapter, managed to get the aerotank 2 apart, the mega won't fire on anything and its 2 days old so must be faulty

Been at the footy all day which was nearly as depressing and frustrating as this ballache

I'll maybe have another go but if not I'm done with it and going back to smoking, ive got ego's and iclears but I may as well puff on a unlit silk cut, certainly not spending another penny on this lark as much as I got into it, I am out of work at moment so its just not viable


Meh

Post it to me mate and I'll take it apart and send it back to you if you want

I've bought my daughter an istick and an aerotank, I'll be giving her them tomorrow. I need to ask though, am I missing something here ? The istick is a 510 device, the aerotank is a 510 tank. Why would you need an adapter ?

Cheers pal, thats very kind of you

What would you try so I can have a go myself mate first?

Looked for some of that matt stuff in a few pound shops but couldn't see any, also One of the isticks is working with the adapter at moment but seems a bit temperamental, but its only decent thing I have battery wise

I'd just stick the adaptor in a vice and screw it off. Drop me a PM if you want to send it.
