The attachment and detachment means has an ejector collar slidably fixed to the second end of the wand and movable between extended and retracted positions. The collar includes a pair of collar jaws. The attachment and detachment means also has a pair of clamp jaws on the second end of the wand lying within the ejector collar. The clamp jaws are in near abutment with an inside surface of the collar when the collar is in the retracted position. The cartridge is attached to the wand by inserting the attachment portion between the clamp jaws and clamping the clamp jaws on the attachment portion. The cartridge is detached from the wand by pushing the ejector collar along the wand body away from the second end of the wand and against the cartridge.
