Oh yes, I have taken two of them apart, one twice because the place the battery connects was pushed in, so I had to move it back and hot glue it in place. Just use a whatchamacalit to hold the metal part in straight when you use the hot glue gun, you know, people used to use them as roach clips.
I believe the technical name is "alligator clip" but I'm sure if you ask for a "roach clip" the people in any hardware store would know what you mean.

Not really... :p. I don't have time to go read another thread righit now.

Dragon, Eric said in that thread that he stopped selling them because there were too many issues, too many returns. Right now it seems like he would be willing to sell them on a "you buy it you don't return it if it breaks" basis if you contact him. He may return them to where he bought them for a better model.

That's why I like buying from Discount Vapers when I can, Eric is one of the most honest, nicest to deal with vendors around.

Those are forceps. I have one in my collection of tools I took from my father when we were clearing out his apartment for his move to assisted living. He was an orthodontist. I haven't used that much yet but the locking tweezers are wonderful.

The tweezers:

The handle crosses itself so the default position is tightly closed. The ones with the pointed tips like this one is perfect for getting inside cartos.

Aha! I just looked it up - it's a hemostat. I use it all the time. Got it at Radio Shack ;)
This is what it looks like http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-15988732/stock-photo-medical-clamps-isolated-on-white.html

I purchased my black rubberized Ovale V8 kit from Eric at DV about three months ago. Except for some minor difficulty inserting batteries, it's worked flawlessly. I did cut off that ribbon that wraps around the batteries...kept getting in the way for me. When Eric receives the newer versions, I'll buy another unit as this is the best VV PV I've tried yet! Easy to use, and I seldom go over 3.0 volts to obtain great hit and flavor. The AW batteries last nearly 2 days, so I've been laying in a supply of those for power outages and such. I might even buy one of the older ones since I haven't had any real problem with mine. I am considering cutting those two springs down a bit to make it easier to insert the batteries.

If it checked the ohm of your carto/atty it would be perfect!

Has anyone tried 16340 batteries in their Ovale V8? I just saw one in the For Sale section that says it takes two 16340s. I have a bunch of those and they're a higher mah than the 18350s that I normally use. The 16340s are the same length as the 18350s only narrower. It would be cool if they work in my Ovale V8. Actually, I might just try it....
