Mini Vap Glass Adapter Stuck inside another connection piece

[DemiV]

Any idea how to un-stuck these together? I’m not sure I got the right size but I’m sure it was 18mm…Or tricks when glass gets stuck in another piece of glass? I also noticed the glass adapter piece wouldn’t stay in its place on the Mini Vap where it’s designed to fit in.

Put it in the freezer for 20 minutes and then take it out and try again.

Some how I have the opposite suggestion. In the past I have used hemp oil on the connection and run the outside joint under hot water

The oil is probably a good idea. I reccomend the freezer because the glass will contract once it gets cold.

The 20min in freezer worked but it was probably risky. Someone else said to use a combo of warm water and ice on top.

This seems riskier to me, as having a temperature differential between the pieces of the glass caused by ice on one part and warm water on the other is much more lilely to lead to a break. Either way, glad it worked.

I think borosilic glass can handle any of the methods suggested above.

The same concept is at work whether it is cold, hot, or some of each.
Just about everything 'moves', expands/contracts with change of temperature.

In this case, the materials of the two stuck pieces is the same, and though both should move/react in similar fashion, the difference in their shape may cause them to move differently, just enough to free them up.
Cold on one part, warm on the other seems logical, but sounds harder to do...

Glad you worked it out!

Oh that’s a good point! Glad I tried the less riskier way first.

freezer method works, WD40 oil work too, just clean your glass well before using

Yeah it is safe, I put something in much longer than 20 minutes by accident and there was no issue, it was a vape! lol

glass in the freezer is only risky if it's a sealed container with water, because water expands under temp of 0c and the bottle will be broken... like a beer or so....
other than that, you can put glass in your freezer for years

Science!
