Interesting Sallie. That part shouldn't really come out. It's possible that it will still make contact with the wire when reinserted; it must be if it's still working. I don't recall reading whether these are supposed to be "solderless" or not.
It slipped out very easily on the one that still has the wire, the dead one. And I guess it also slipped quite easily out of the one without the wire, probably stuck to the battery because of the juice. I'm no muscle man. All it took was a finger nail to pry it up a little to get a grip on it and basically it was all the way out.
And his followup blog in which he backtracks a lot, and his concerns are now mostly lack of testing, lack of regulation, lack of packaging warnings, China, continued nicotine use.

Well... My mini experiment was only a partial success.
Positives
+ Vapor production
+ No perfume taste
+ Can use above 4.2v without burning
+ No leaking
Negatives
- Flavor so muted I might as well vape unflavored PG
- "Water pipe" effect... eventually disappeared
- Did not work "out of the box"
I can put up with leaking and less vapor production if the flavor is there, but right now it just isn't.

I'm gonna quit recommending stuff, I seem to be a jinx 
ETA: I have a drip mod in mind... I'll report back if it works.

Well, after recent events, I'll say Im done entertaining the children. Time to wash my hands of all the nonsense, and focus on the good in the world.
With that, time to go change the oil in the truck...good times

Then the boards full of jinx's....(look at the ce2 market). Hell, they all have their quirks, and all of em get raves, and hate threads. We try em, post OUR views, and go from there. But its all subjective in the end.
Quick and dirty Sapphire Dripper Mod
- Pull tube off atty
- Remove wick plate
- Cut short piece of tube from a cracked CE2
- Place tube on atty
- Add drip tip
- Drip and vape!
Could actually open the windows today.
He was up for Sams Club, Famous Footwear and Tack Store.
Thinking he can go back to work tomorrow.
How about your end? Still cooking?
While I had them all taken apart I tried that. For me, they're just not very good attys for dripping. It works, you get vapor, but flavor is only so-so. On the other hand, the CE-2 is excellent for dripping. Only found that out after I stole its wick to rebuild the sapphires.
It could be my juice, but it tastes fantastic with every other atty or carto I've tried. Cartos just tend to impart additional "flavor" I don't care for.
Great news! Back to work is a good sign.
It was in the mid 80's here today. Perfect summer day with low humidity.
The dogs are finally willing to go outside again and burn off some energy.

I'm not a dripper, so I have no idea how it measures up. In practice I'll only use them to drip to taste test new mixes (or get something better for that purpose).
I doubt it's your juice, I suspect your attys. Can you measure the ohms on them?
Mine seem to be opposite of yours, good taste but muted vapor (at 3.2V). The flavor is strong enough that I'm going to try lowering my flavoring. I can live with the vapor level for now, but I'm looking forward to using them at a bit higher voltage.
