What an unholy mess it was.
That's a pity. Patience is required haha. Probably the person who wanted to take it apart got even more worked up than me, and decided to do a few shortcuts, resulting in damage. I must admit that my regulator has a few marks on it now, from the collets turning. Superficial marks to the blueing. Yesterday I put all my anger and aggression in turning, resulting in slipping collets. Very stupid. Heat was the secret. Should have known. It isn't rocket science. But all respect for JB - it must take a lot of knowledge and skills to design something like the S10 cigar!

No time for re-assembly and sealing today; will report on the results tomorrow.
