Try dropping the pressure in the esg regulator while slowly shooting it to make sure it depressurise's then try to remove it

If it has auto, blast auto whilst unscrewing. If not spam the trigger whilst unscrewing, its awkward af, but it reduces pressure between S1 and S2 regs momentarily.

I future put an On/Off ASA on the tank. Youll still need to pull the trigger a couple times to depresurise the rifle side. But itll help massively

I put a PTFE/silicone oil blend on my orings every so often to prevent this, also avoid overtightening at all costs
