Low ohm stardusts, no cracks, work great, how to get apart?

[Njt07]

Hello, just wanted to pop in and say the low ohm stardusts are outstanding. I'm using one on an alpha now and looked at my other ones and none of the cracks mentioned in other threads are evident in the low ohm ones. The low ohm have great vapor, don't leak and no fiddling as advertised. These things are really easy to switch out flavors and to dry burn without having to take them apart.

I did figure out, with help, that I don't have to keep it constantly tilted and found out from personal exp not to tilt it above horizontal and vape as it will seep out thought the mouth piece.

I tried to take one apart to see if it will be possible to rewick or replace the coil but the tank is on there really tight and I didn't want to possibly break it. Once one of mine burn out and stop working I'll try to take it completely apart without breaking it. I watched the vids on the coil replacement but either these are on tighter or I'm weaker than I thought...

All in all an outstanding product from got vapes that works as advertised with NO fiddling!

I really need to revise the disassembly procedure so people won't need to use a hammer. I will try over the weekend to do just that and hopefully include some photographs.

Yeah I read that and watched the vids

This new design with the pointy metal bit and new seal are much easier to get at to clean them. I can do a quick rinse with hot water and then hit it with a blow dryer (then dry burn). Even if I can't take it apart, I'll be fine - it's like the visions in that regard. Works great!

My LR didn't have a metal bit that goes into the mouth piece...

Did my first cleaning after about 7-9 refills, taste and vapor had dwindled on a 3.7v mod. The coil was very gunned up with the black crud. Washed it out since I couldn't get the darn thing apart, then immediately started to dry burn, the gunk was asked on there pretty good and took a while for me to see the cherry glow. Pulsed it for a bit then let it cool down. It was still on there pretty good, so I took a syringe and flushed it out from the batt connector end, still had gunk on it. Shook out the water and dry burned again, finally started to see the gunk start to ash and see the coil under the gunk, pulsed a bit more then let cool down. Blew out from the batt end and looked and my coil and wick looked like new, filled er up and waited about 5min. Vaped and it tasted like new with a ton of vapor again!

Now if I could just figure out ow to get it apart so I can replace the coil and wick when needed, although I'm wondering if I can just unwind the wick, wipe off and rewrap a new wick with the old wire... Btw this sucker is on tight.

Yes you can use the same wire with a new wick I did and works great 4 loops should work fine
