How do get inova xo open?

[KDOG3]

Just picked up an XO from target and am wondering how to swap the emitter in this thing. I dont see a way to get the light engine out. Typing this on a cell phone is a pain. Wish there was a cpf mobile.

There is the famous "freeze-pop" method. That's the only way I am aware off.

There is a very recent thread (with instructions and pictures) on this mod to this exact light in the Custom/Mods forum. Lucky you!

I've gotten several apart using the freezing method, but so far have 100% failure rate at getting them back together in one piece.

Just cooked my last Inova the same way as I did an earlier one -- by putting the batteries in the wrong way (wrong, that is, for Inova -- right for every other light I own). That's just too easy for me to do. I'll never get another Inova.
