I heard the heating element is a heiko soldering iron with the metal removed to expose the ceramic inside. I have no clue if you can buy it though.....

I'm pretty sure the DBV and the SSV use a 60 W heater.
It's Hakko. And the cheap models everyone used, the Hakko 456 and the 556 are no longer on the market. They have a newer version (FX-601) but its more expensive and has a smaller ceramic heater than the previous model.

Yea it is hakko that is the one I was looking for lol. But this is the best one I could find that looked the same.

Amazing thanks for the detail guys!!
My DBV is 3+ years old, should I therefore be looking for the older heating element you referred to (456/556)? Are there any documented cases of someone successfully replacing the element? If I were to use the newer fx-601 element, would it work in my DBV?
I've found a replacement element for fx-601 on sale here for only $20! http://www.qsource.com/p-11394-hakko-a1600-replacement-heater-for-fx-601-soldering-iron.aspx .The exact part number is Hakko A1600 it seems
A little more googling and I've found a replacement element for the 456 here: http://www.tequipment.net/HakkoA1177.html. The exact part number is Hakko A1177
I've emailed their UK distributor to see if he can help me. I hope he doesn't ask any questions about soldering!

They might be too big.
The 456/556 element is on the right. I believe the DBV element is more the size of the left one.
Looks like that comes with a temperature sensor, so you are paying for that. You can find the elements cheaper than that.

Interesting. I'll take some measurements when I'm back home (out of the country at the moment) and compare to the specs of the Hakko elements.
To be honest, for $20 I'm happy to pay for the sensor, i would be paying a hell of a lot more for a one way trip for my DBV to the US, let alone parts, labour and return postage.

I like dbv/ssv mp so much I use them for my dry underdog stems. I just use a little piece of the underdog silicon on the end for a 4" shorty stem.
What don't you like?

Does anyone know if under warranty how much it would cost to have the element replaced by 7th floor?
I have the 10 year warranty, hopefully that factors into cost.
Not wanting to do it immediately, but I imagine when he's 5-6 years old a new element would be choice.

Yeah man! Someone on /r/vaporents gave me the idea, been rolling with it ever since.

I believe they have said in the past that even if it has been run over by a tank they will fix it for $25 or something.

Thanks VapeNStone! I would hope so, I went with 7th floor primarily because of their awesome customer service
This! I have been looking for a video of this action. If you do get this heater cover and the transfer wand- Please put up a video! Anyone else that already have a DBV along with the LSV Heatercover/wand, share away too!

I'll try it out at some point just need to get a lsv heater cover. In case you haven't seen this thread:
http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/f...per-cheap-unauthorized-and-unsupported.11412/.
I'm waiting on back order ELBs but I'm going to test the ELBs in the dbv wand when they get here to see how that works too ... 0 blowback possible I'm hoping
