I was recently cleaning my Aspire nautilus 5ml. hardware. I was using a Q-Tip to clean the bottom hardware and the pin popped out into the sink drain Bummer, I had to take my drain apart to find it, which I did, but only the pin. evidently there is a spring inside that pin and I did not see that in the drainpipe. Does Anyone know a fix for this?

Hello and welcome to the forum eMax. Glad to have you here!:)

Not sure what "pin" you are talking about. I have the nautilus and have never seen a pin or a spring. Hopefully another member will be along and know something about this.

Added: are you talking about the coil, the piece that needs to be replaced from time to time?

You can get Nautilus base parts at aspirecig.com. Look in the Nautilus Accessories section. You are looking for Connector and Insulated Ring 05. The connector and ring are $1.00 but the shipping from China is pretty steep. Best if you can order several items to spread-out the shipping cost.
The connector pin has a built-in tiny spring that protrudes from the end of the pin.

Thank you Barryo. I learn something new everyday!:) That is not a piece I have ever taken apart.:facepalm:
