RDTA stuck

[Casper9104]

so ive got a pyro rdta but I can’t remove the top part to access the deck Or change the airflow as I think it’s stuck cuz of my juice what do I do?

Run it under hot water then use paper towels or cloth towel to unscrew.

That works excellently but even just a paper towel works to protect the metal from getting scratched or nicked.

you can also pop it into the freezer for awhile, then bring it out and run some tepid or warm water over whatever has the OUTER threads - gets things to contract and expand.

I suggest using normal Kitchen gloves and you will see the magic. You can find the prove in Youtube as well. Gloves stuck on RTA/RDTA and very easily with least pressure helps you to unscrew.

+1 for rubber gloves. I've never had any atty that couldn't be removed with rubber gloves.

Rubber gloves or I use paper towel- the cap has 2 knobs that stick into the deck where you fill it- I wiggle it back and forth right by the air flow holes with paper towel in my hand, the cap gets easier to remove the more times you do it. Might be easier to adjust the air flow to where you like it once you get the cap(cover) off'
I leave my air flow half open.

One thing that helps a lot is I use a tiny bit of food grade grease along my o-rings after I do a rewick or clean. This keeps the o-rings in healthy shape along with not seizing up the atty if they sit for a while.
