To open a tight vape, first ensure the device is turned off to prevent accidental activation. Grip the tank and the base separately, using a rubber glove or rubber band for extra grip if necessary. Twist firmly but gently in opposite directions. If still stuck, try using warm water to slightly expand the metal parts or a small amount of lubricant like vegetable oil on the threads.
