ADD: When cleaning, be careful with the TWO o-rings not to lose them.

I have a stardust and it worked great but right there midvape it just died. has anyone had any luck replacing the parts in them?

 

[ponky]

also, just FYI they DO leak through the battery end it seems.

ponky, make sure you are not getting juice into the center post. Don't tip them with the tip off and make sure it is screwed down tight. If you get juice into the post, it will drip down the hole. Blow it out into a towel before attaching it to the battery

I tried and tried to get that seal solid and it LOOKED like it was but it still leaked out of the battery so perhaps it was a freak crack somewhere or something. It's dead after one week anyway so I'm going to rip open the other one I bought and give it a run and see how THAT goes.

Don't take them apart. They look to be built like the Visions.

I clean my Visions with a soak / power wash in boiling hot distilled water. I fill a syringe and flush the heck out of them with hot water, then let them soak, then flush them again and that seems to work pretty well. Let them dry for a few hours, or overnight, then dry burn very gently.

Something I've learned (the hard way). If you're vaping dark juices or 100% VG, you should plan on doing this every couple days depending on your vaping habits. If you let the coils get too thick with carbon, nothing is going to take that carbon off. If you can rinse them out before they get too gunky, you'll get a lot better life out of them.
