Lost metal piece in Stringray switch

[stancato9]

So recently I was cleaning the switch for my Infinite Stingray clone, and this little gold piece of metal fell out and I lost it. I didn't think much of it, because I have never seen it before, but after putting the mod back together I realized it plays a very important part.

It sits in 2 cut outs, holding 2 pieces of the switch together, and stops the bottom most part of the switch from being able to turn. Essentially, it holds both pieces together. Now I can't use the switch properly, or even thread it in for that matter, because it just keeps spinning.

Is anyone familiar with this? I need some help!

Thanks!

Its called a rice pin. The nemesis has the same type of pin I don't know if they are the same size though. I'll check when I get home from work and let ya know. Fat daddy vapes has the replacement nemesis pins 6 for $6.

That would be great, thank you very much.

The fatdaddyvapes Nemesis rice pins should work in the Stingray clone. Actually almost anything about the right diameter will work. I've seen folks here mention using, among other things, piece of dried spaghetti, bit of coat hanger and a piece of a larger sized paper clip. If you do decide to buy the fatdaddyvapes pins, check what other goodies he has for your Stingray, save on shipping and get them at the same time.

I find his prices a bit high for what he offers, but in the case of magnets, they're always the correct size and strength where those from other sources often aren't. The extension pins are always nice although you could do it yourself at the hardware store but you're not cutting and filing, etc. So part of what he charges is convenience.

The replacement nemesis pins work, they are longer than the original but they work and you can still screw the firing pin all the way down.

You could also go to a hobby shop and find some music wire of similar diameter and cut it length. Hell, try a cut up toothpick! It's basically a rod, nothing special.

The nemesis pins are to long, I had to file one down a bit to get it to work.

I ended up just cutting up an o ring and sticking it in. Works great!
