    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    The strap-wrench idea crossed my mind but I am unaware of one that is small enough. I was planning on wrapping the components with electricians tape and applying hose-clamps of the type that have a screw to tighten it. Then I will apply a common set of pliers to supply enough leverage to unseat...

    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    I am (at my snail-like speed) attempting to create a tool to enable me to apply torque to the various seams on this device that I have not yet been able to open. I'll have more photos in a few days.

    That also sounds reasonable. I was able to determine that they were involved with the airflow but I was unable to determine how the were used.

    Is this helpful? OOPS wrong seam you wished to open the seam immediately above the on with the two holes in it. I can't open that one yet. Is that the one that will have the data plate?

    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    I have no intention of investing any of my money into this thing because I can't rationalize using it. I'm 70 and have shortness of breath. HOWEVER, someone out there wants it and regardless of how much they offer me, I will probably make a small profit. I paid very little for it because the...

    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    Thanx all. I have learned that the ring on top of the 'battery tube assembly'(originally containing an 18650 battery that I discarded) that I presumed was merely decorative is probably what you refer to as a 'kick' ring (I cannot remove it at this time without using tools that might damage the...

    Yes, it had an 18650 in it and I have no idea what a kick tube is.

    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    Nope! Not a vaper. I'm pushin' 70 and it doesn't strike me as a hobby that I should try.

    Do the fakes also display the proper logos? If so, how does one begin to authenticate a piece of equipment?

    'Don't know what an Ascot camera is. It was a feeble attempt to avoid the inevitable censors.

    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    Drat! I was hoping this would be simple! I suppose that I shall have to get off of my ascot and photograph the components. Maybe tomorrow!

    Hello! I'm Cantankerous Old Phart and this is my first post.

    I found and purchased what I later found to be a 'Vape Pen' at an estate sale. Not being familiar with this vice I commenced disassembling it to determine what made it tick. I have determined that it consists of (starting at the bottom and progressing upward) a spring loaded push-button switch...
