Introduction

    • This guide does not show the disassemble of the clearomizer (highlighted in the picture), as in more recent versions it is monolithic and can't be disassembled, and focuses on the cigarette body.

    • Unscrew the clearomizer, rotating it counterclockwise.

    • Remove the four screws holding the plastic covers to the metal frame:

    • Two Torx T4 screws on the top of the cigarette body, near the clearomizer plug

    • Two Torx T4 screws on the bottom of the cigarette body, near the USB port

    • Remove the bottom lid with a plastic spudger

    • Be careful and do not use a metal screwdriver: the bottom cover is just near the battery, "stabbing" it with a conductive object is dangerous.

    • Remove the top plastic lid with a plastic spudger. If it is stuck, due to debris, mount the clearomizer lower part and use it to pull the top cover.

    • The clearomizer connector is wired to the cigarette board with two short wires, be careful not to cut them!

    • Time to remove the front panel:

    • It is not glued, only hooked with plastic clips

    • Insert a plastic spudger in the top part and start lifting it

    • Continue removing the front plate with a plastic opening pick

    • The frontal button should fall outside, as it is only laid inside the specific hole, not glued. If it is stuck, use a pair of ESD tweezers to remove it.

    • Extract the board and the battery, using a tweezer to pull the top of the board and/or pushing gently the lower part of the battery, with a round plastic spudger.

    • The battery is protected by three foam pads, the side one is glued both to the battery and to the board

    • The solder joints of the battery and of the clearomizer connector are covered in glue (vinylic glue?), to check their status you have to remove the glue first with a spudger

    • The battery is a 14500 lithium battery. This one in particular is made by EVE, nominally it has a 3.7V voltage, has a 900 Mah capacity and can supply 3.33 Wh.

    • Avoid messing with the battery pack, lithium batteries can be dangerous.

    Thank you. After a fall the black wire got desoldered from the board. Instructions helped me to take all appart and find the problem. Soldered it back and it works. Thanks to the community

Hi,

I tried cleaning Q16 FF, and since then, it only shows blinking lights whenever powered up. This occurs regardless of whether the tank is plugged in or not. The battery is charged. Is there anything I can do about this?

How did you clean it? Did you use water or another conductive liquid?

Hi,

I have a question: It's not clear on the photo but is it a standard battery or does it have soldering lips?
And do you happen to know of the board robust enough to handle a battery with higher capacity ?
(Planning to mod that vape and i have a choise to get a 14500 1200mAH with or without soldering lips)

My friend doesn't have it anymore, but the battery was a standard one. I don't know about the board, but I'd advise not to use something different from the original

@dinoo_fixit
Thanks for the reply/information. Tbh i just got it recently and was deciding to mod it or not. It's not defective or anything.
I got the link to this page bookmarked and by the time the battery is degrading i will see if i can discover if it can hold a battery with a higher capacity and report back. (Could take a while though :))

Cheers.

Kara -

Good luck :D
