Not even a week Bel. Yep pretty sure it's deaded Dom, it's not working with adapters on Mods or straight on a Tornado now . . . tried it on the Darwin, which accepts any 510 fitting no matter how iffy they are and there's zero omhs registering. Just one of those things, it wasn't super duper from the off if I'm honest, very under powered . . . the one I've started on now, seems a lot better.

Send it to me with the boges Perpetua..I'll see if I can give it a new lease of life. They are very hard to take apart.
Also send a small piece of resistance wire (nichrome) 0.16 or 0.2 mm dia cause I am waiting for mine to be delivered from Canada..
Also let me know if you want SR ie., approx 2.5-2.7 or LR approx 2.0-2.2.

Looking at the video again,I can not see why you could not just put a 6mm bolt in the end and wind it in on a vise should give a nice clean push.I will do one tomorrow when i am back in work
Edit 6mm is to small i will measure it tomorrow

Just taken one apart using the hammer-push method,It works but not a way i would recommend as it compresses the silicon seal. 7.5mm is the best size i found to push it out with
I used my bearing pullers to push it out

You could always take out the silicone cap and metal insert first.

Ah yeah you could be right Gordy, I remember now when using the RDA/RTA I had to do that.
Have to say the worse part of rewicking is getting one leg of the wire down the side of the inner silicon tube., apart from that it 's pretty straight forward.

That part did look a fiddle Lisa . . . I'm very pleased Macca kindly offered to recoil my deaded one for me. I wouldn't have had the patience.
