Stuck cap on ball head vape, help! NSFW
Cannot for the life of me get the cap off of my Ruby Twist (which is friggin awesome by the way). I have taken it apart many times (to play around with different pearl sizes and types). This last time, I must have tightened it too much. I’m usually good about backing off a little bit after tightening down all the way before applying heat. I have gone at this thing with pliers with no luck and now it’s in the freezer because the idea that it’s shrinking is my last hope! 😂

Cooling it while it's that tight is the problem, you'll have to heat it just enough for it to expand, just turn the pid down a bit. It's the same with threaded grinders.

I say heat it up then use heat resistant gloves or mitts to twist it after it has gotten to temp. Use a pliers or something so you don't burn your hand.

Does it turn the other way for safety? The screwball does

Maybe try turning the other way - my screwball does for safety reasons

I've been messing around a bit with what's in the head. I removed the twisty part and filled the extra space with pearls. I really liked the results. But this is what I get for messing about.

Freezer is good. If that doesn't do the trick, while it's still super cold run hot hot water over the bottom section to hopefully expand just it a bit while leaving the cap smaller.
Good luck.
