If you figure it out, let me know. I spent 2 hours trying to open mine up last night, no dice. Seems to be press-fit, but I think there's possibly some epoxy holding it together as well.Seven 30 has bit the dust while vaping a .55 ohm atty at 24W. Push the fire button and no voltage sag and no power out. Now I really gotta figure out the tool to take these apart. Not to worry though vaping the same atty great on the SX350 and EVIC Supreme!

It's under the indent that holds the O-ring. There's a crease between the body and the top piece. It's really thin, so it's not easy to see. I locked mine in a bench vice and took a pair of channel locks to it, and it turned like a millimeter. But since then, it won't budge. My next thought is to take a torch to it, but I don't want to burn the guts.I'll post here. Haven't heard back from the vendor I was hoping he would get confirmation from the manufacturer. He did say he thought the top was press fit and the bottom welded. I'm not sure the top is press fit. I have looked at mine and I don't see a line that would indicate a press fit. Where do you see it on yours?
Now the bottom to me looks like it is a three pronged spanner but those three slots may be the welds but I can definitely see threads in the bottom.

Just out of curiosity, did you try adjusting the 510 screw to see if that fixed your problem. I was having issues like what you described, turned out the tank I was using didn't reach the pin anymore for some reason.ok thanks. I wouldn't torch it just yet.

I fried mine... Guess I was having just too much fun with my Kanger Giant and the sub-ohm coils...
Seems early models had a small spring connecting between the board and the 510... That & the connection at the board are weak points...
I believe it has a 1 year warranty from Pioneer4You... If you aren't working with an authorized distributor, you might try kustomvapes.com
How did you get it open? I can't even budge mine.It comes apart real easy. No spring no weak joints just a burnt chip and burnt chip smell.

Well, on the bright side, your method worked perfectly. Not so bright side, I seem to have the same issue you do. My chip isn't as bad as yours, but the sealer on it IS bubbled. Guess it's time to re purpose this useless metal tube.Oh yeah...
Hold the mod in one hand upside down hold a flat blade screwdriver in the other hand point down. put the blade in the groove where the o-ring was, it will be at a pretty good angle hold it tight. Now the most important part get someone you trust. Have them hammer the end of the screw driver. A few taps each side 180 out and she pops right off.
The SX350 is longer so be advised, this takes some modding to fit.
