Dropped my mod today...

[numbskull]

hcigar Nemmy falls out of my jacket pocket and hits the floor while bending over to grab clothes out of the dryer. I just toss it in my pants pocket and think "I need to clean it up and polish after I'm done with this laundry" When i go to pull it out I realize my locking ring is kinda stuck...well apparently it hit the floor just right so that it slid off some of the threads now it's jacked....Why is this a problem? Because last week I sold ALL my other mods because I needed cash, plus was going to save up for a XXIX to replace the King I got rid of...now I have 0 mods....and my girlfriend wondered why I needed so many!

TL;RD-
Nemmy broke, no other mod to use

I would suggest it landed just wrong!

that sucks big time....sorry dude.

Your nemesis will work without the lock ring. Before you toss the whole thing just grab the ring with a pair of vise grips and either turn it off or turn it all the way on. Even if you gank the threads completely she will still vape.

Next time have your girlfriend do the laundry.

Had the same type issue with a vmecha. It's a bummer but c'est la vie! At least it was a 30-50$ Hcigar and not a real nemi.

It's always a good idea to have a back-up. I got both the Nemi and King.

It would seem your name really fits your situation OP.

I would warn against using vise grips on it. That locking ring is THIN and will dent badly, making the problem even worse. I WOULD suggest using one of those rubber strap wrenches. That shouldn't bugger it up like vise grips.

Also 15 minutes in the freezer might help a bit. Works when I get metal atty tops stuck on the base.

Oh... my... gawd...

That's why it is always good to have a backup for your backup's backup.

Though... I'm sure with some grip you could remove the locking ring and run without it if necessary... it would look strange and be a pain without being able to lock it but at least you would still be able to vape.

Its true. YOU NEED some backups. Tell your gal to get off yo back and buy yourself some cheap FT mods asap.
