Thanks to your great "repair" guide.

Because of this i just destroyed my first atomizer and right now i am w/o e-cig.

a) Your "repair" guide does not mention that there is high chance to destroy the atomizer without any way to fix it.

The reason is that with your pushing and pry method you will rip of the wires.

This alone MIGHT be fixable assuming that the wires are still attached to the atomizer and REALLY only break on the soldering points. VERY unlikely if you just push a nail/screw in it and push.

In my case the wires were literally ripped off from the thing with no way to re-solder.

Also..i like how you left out that its probably a hell of a PITA (if not impossible) to re-assemble the whole thing again.

I am pretty p*ssed right now.

Edit: For what it's worth...i found wire fragments were still attached "inside" the housing, underneath and after removing the plastic stuff. (Which crumbled to dust btw). The wires broke right above the plastic "lid". But this would be a HELL of nerve wrecking soldering job. As said above, re-assembling would be a another story. Why go through all this for $7 part?

I am glad i have two more atomizers already in the mail...

DONT OPEN YOUR ATOMIZERS. IF YOU DO, EXPECT SOME REALLY UGLY SOLDERING JOB OR (MORE LIKELY) A BROKEN ATOMIZER.

Sorry, I don't want to be an a$$... however, if you didn't expect the possibility of destroying your atomizer following these instructions than maybe you need to stay out of the experimental modder and DIY forums.

Anything you do to your ecig outside of the instruction booklet is a risk. So to be pissed that you broke your only atomizer because of this is silly.

Sorry, just my two cents. I am ready for any flames that may ensue.
