you want to be able to reassemble it after its apart?? LOL not likely to happen the first time you tear one apart.. Just go at it. get some needle nose pliers, pull the led cap off and start fishin the stuff out. On the connector end. You can put an atty on it,( preferably a dead one) and start wiggling it back and forth (forcibly) , and hope the batt connector comes out before the atty connector does..try some heat too if you need to...
I'm trying to get the connector to make a USB pass.
Sorry i may have spelled wrong or something, my english really fails sometimes.
This is pretty hard work uh, i'm trying to heat it and stuff, but ......mit this is hard.
Do what Shreck suggests with the dead atomizer attached. 801's and 901's usually come apart fairly easily just by putting lateral pressure on the connector.
Take the end cap off and pull out the battery first..just to be safe.
I use a copper pipe cutter to cut the tube 1cm down from the connector then some sharp tools to split along the last cm of tube and the connector will remain untouched.
My first was opened using Shreck's suggestion, then used the above mentioned method.
The battery connector is press fit into place, often with some glue, to keep it fixed in position. I have had mixed success heating the battery with a lighter around where the connector enters the tube. Becareful not to damage the battery connector threads with a pliers. The suggestion above to use a dead atomizer to wiggle the battery connector free is a good idea.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, i'm gonna try to do my own passthrough today, but i'm afraid i already damaged the threads, let's see what happens today.

my best luck has been with a flat file's edge..jewler's files would be better...i use them to make a shallow cut where i know the mating surface is diagonally and the threads just hop out in your hand practically..and you dont destroy your salvaged threads "roundness" or anything which occasionally happens when wiggling. You could use a hacksaw to make the shallow cut, but its way too hard to do carefully unlike jewlers files (available in lowes tool dept usually near the other files in a little pack..prob available loads of places)
