But you can't win with half-hearted work!You should know that the middle section and mouthpiece are immaculate.

Seriously, I advise a general restoration in René's workshop, directly a new pan & air tubes, have it polished up and while he's at it, new mica too, it seems to be full of mud or dirt, maybe it's been wet several times?
In any case, cleaning will take a long time and the result will only be halfway satisfactory. It will not be possible to clean the dirty mica without it starting to flake...
I can recommend the brushes for light cleaning in between, you can do it every 3-4 fillings, costs neither money nor time. For deep cleaning the pan, homemade baking soda paste has proven to be the easiest solution.
As the Vapman is not really waterproof, it is a good idea to keep it as dry as possible.
