Title
Ember Mug Destructive Teardown
Introduction
Due to an unfortunate incident with a microwave (the details of which will only be released upon the occasion of my demise), my Ember Mug met an untimely end.
As such, I decided to put to rest the questions that have come up on the forums regarding how to open the mug, what kind of battery it takes, and how to replace the battery.
I called this a destructive teardown because I was unable to find a way to remove the base with any combination of grasping and twisting, so I resorted to jamming a screwdriver into the damaged portion and simply prying the base apart using brute force.
This resulted in tearing off a flex cable that connected the base to the mug, so that is something to be aware of when opening your own mug. Along the way we'll investigate to see if there is an actual method that can be used to open the mug non-destructively.
