N'd here it is. Fenix vape stripped bare.
Enjoy the fruits of the past few days in my workshop.

My conclusion on the vape:
For the average price I believe it is a good buy. Subject of many concerns, the airpath is
tightly closed in here. Air inlet on the bottom also includes a pressure sensor, which regulates
heating on-demand, effectively giving a temp-boost during inhale.
Word of warning: do not blow into mouthpiece during vaping! It can take some time for the sensor to recover, not long, but could be enough to overheat. There is a thermistor attached to the chamber, so I would expect an electronic counter-action to prevent this, but better to be safe. Don't panic though, if you caugh into it..
Though claimed to be a full convection technology, I argue this: it has a heating element placed in a narrow enclosure within, as part of the entire load chamber - the air is forced through the hot element, but this also heats the entire metal construction, leaving you with a semi-convection (hybrid) experience, which in turn produces decent amount of vapor, extracts way better.
They claim 8 kinds of protection, I think this number includes some sensors as well, not necessarily for protection, but for functioning properly:
-battery over/under voltage protection
-battery charge indication
-overheat protection (thermistor)
-probably an onboard thermal-protection, but not sure about this
-pressure sensor for heating control
-auto shut-off
-donno. Magnetic closure maybe?
-donno. Tweezers for safe handling maybe?
The two method for vaping (slow and fast) I recon is just a simple switch of heat regulation:
slow for pressure sensing (heats when inhale only), fast for constant temperature sensing by the thermistor attached to the load chamber (more like a conduction method).
Battery is definitely not LG, as some shops claiming. Its your random, common vapejuice - however tried and tested thoroughly - EVE18650 CX 8.14 Wh

It is ceramic, quite a tough one, as it took some abuse before I was able to dent inside it, to reveal parts beyond. Same material can be seen around one leg of the coil, this to prevent short circuit I suppose. The cylinder feels a lightweight metal alloy, could be aluminium, for good heat transfer rates, the top part is more like steel - conduction was well calculated into the final method of extracting herbs. On last image you can see an extra layer below the strainer screen, this covers the heat chamber, where air goes through. You can see - if look closely - tiny holes on the edge, this is where hot air enters your load chamber. Essentially, air contacts metal, ceramic and heating element before reaching load. I can also add the tiny rubber bed on the bottom, where pressure sensor is, also -between the steel tube and a ceramic bit - there is a soft rubber disk. This is however entirely excluded from airway if you look at the design closely at 2:15 / 2:23. Cheers!
