To remove the thermocouple, push up on the bayonet fitting and turn it 1/4 turn
counter-clockwise. The thermocouple should now pull out easily. Check that the
tip is well coated with heat transfer compound. If not, coat the thermocouple tip
with heat transfer compound. Back the bayonet fitting down the armor cable and
reinsert the thermocouple. Push it into the well as much as possible and adjust
the bayonet fitting to lock it with maximum tension on the thermocouple. Test
your vaporizer.
