We disassemble the vape yourself
Every vap lover should know how to disassemble an electronic cigarette and clean it from carbon. This operation should be carried out periodically to maximize the life of the device. An important factor is and proper use of cigarettes. Despite the diversity of the model range of devices, one can identify the general principles of their service, because the devices consist of the same functional blocks. To disassemble them yourself, you will not need any special tools.

Causes of disassembly vape
Everyone who uses vape, you need to understand when you need to disassemble an electronic cigarette to avoid breakage. The need for periodic cleaning arises for the following reasons:
- with regular use inside the mod a raid is formedconsisting of decomposition products of flavors, nicotine and tar;
- also to the battery can leak liquidresulting from soaring;
- The usual cartridge in the device must be washed after each change of the type of liquid, it is calculated (approximately) for 7 charges.
Signs of the need to disassemble and clean the vap are the following deviations from normal operation:
- steam is not generated by the device;
- decreased its density, saturation;
- during the puffs from the fashion emit uncharacteristic sounds (gurgling, whistling, squeaking);
- cigarette begins to flow;
- in the mouth of the steam felt burnt taste.
It is not worth waiting for the appearance of such signs, it is better to conduct inspection and cleaning of the device once a week. And when the first deviations in the work appear, you should immediately disassemble the product and remove any contamination that has arisen.
Vape design
Electronic cigarettes are a modern alternative to regular tobacco products. They are called differently, but the essence does not change. The device is designed to translate a special liquid containing flavoring agents and often nicotine into a vapor state.Next, the smoker instead of the usual tobacco smoke inhales aromatic steam.
Products are divided according to its functionality on the following types:
- box mods (contain control board and control system);
- Mechanisms (do not have an electronic system).
Also, devices are divided by size, by type of atom.
The market offers a wide range of e-cigarettes. Leading positions are occupied by products of brands: Armango, Eleaf, Joyetech, Kangertech and others. Regardless of the brand, fashion consists of such component parts:
- battery pack (it can be of mechanical or automatic type);
- cartridge (storage) for liquid;
- electric evaporator (atomizer);
- Some models have additional parts that control the flow of aromatic liquid.
Atomizers They are small cylindrical tanks with an evaporative system inside, which is responsible for the transfer of liquid into steam. They consist of a spiral (nichrome, cantal, steel), wound around the wick, and a contact group. Steam generators vary in coil thickness.
Wick placed in a special bowl (ceramic), having openings for contacts and for air.Top covers it, protecting from damage, the bridge through which the liquid for smoking is supplied. The bridge with the bowl is wrapped in a metal sponge. Thanks to the latter, the liquid is transferred from the cartridge to the steam generator. When a puff occurs, vaporization begins.
Required tools
To disassemble the device, and then assemble it during repairs or periodic inspections, the following tools are required:
- small tweezers;
- pliers, screwdriver;
- needle, knife;
- thin drill;
- small rubber mallet;
- plastic tube;
- soldering iron.
The diameter of the tube should be smaller than that of the ES.
Modern high-tech variants of electronic cigarettes are far in appearance from ordinary cigarettes and allow you to control even such a parameter as the temperature of the inhaled vapor. Good during maintenance work to have product layout, to take into account all the nuances of the model.
Step-by-step instructions on disassembling vapes on the example of Ijust
If the e-cigarette Ijust leaks or sticks its button, or you just need to clean the device, then disassembly of the product is necessary for troubleshooting and scaling. To do this, perform the following operations:
- to get to the button (when it falls down) - remove the gum that connects the cartridge with the battery;
- by scrolling and bending the joint area of these parts, separate them from each other;
- then pull the connector, mutually fixing the atom and the battery pack;
- then twist the evaporator;
- pull out electronics and charge;
- thus, access to the atom and power source is obtained immediately;
- are starting to fix the problems associated with these elements.
Stretch the parts together should be carefully, without sudden movements, so as not to break the ES. When disassembling, it is highly undesirable to close the poles of the supply element and the evaporator with metal tools, so as not to destroy the e-cigarette. The assembly is carried out in the reverse order.
EGo battery disassembly algorithm
Each power source has a certain maximum number of charge-discharge cycles, after which it does not make any sense (possibility) to repair it. But when the unit is new, then often problems can be fixed. Any eGo e-cigarette battery consists of the following parts:
- supply source;
- buttons;
- fees;
- connector part.
In the expensive models there may be another USB connector, a voltage regulator and an additional board.
The integral design seems to be disassembled in the following sequence:
- extract connector part (top), unscrewing it along the thread, or simply pulling the pliers wrapped with rubber or cloth;
- pull effortlessly, loosening the item being pulled;
- get the rest of the details;
- in the presence of additional fees - hide the cap from the bottom;
- further troubleshoot existing problems.
To simplify the process of pulling the top, it can be pinched using a screwdriver or a knife. It is necessary to work with extreme caution so as not to damage the battery pack.
Parsing the atomizer
Atomizer disassembled as follows:
- to separate the viscera from the body, the steam generator is rolled on a solid surface, slightly pressing it from above;
- carefully pick up the top edge;
- take out the contents;
- remove the rubber sealing ring;
- using a screwdriver, carefully separate the top plate and gently pull the wick;
- clean the atom and assemble in the reverse order.
Disassembly is described here. on the example of the eGo-T model. Due to the fact that all evaporators are arranged in a similar way (tank body, seals, heating element), other models are similarly disassembled.
Work should be done carefully, because the steam generator contains small parts.
With your own hands, you can both disassemble the electronic cigarette and its parts, and collect everything back. Only you need to act carefully, without exerting extra effort and without making sudden movements. To keep your device healthy for a long time - it should periodically clean, the battery should always be fully charged and dry, it should not be left in a discharged state for a long time, and the cartridge should be flushed when replacing the liquid. Remember: quitting smoking completely eliminates the problems with e-cigarettes.
