Made a stupid mistake

[dokebilee]

So, I decided to clean my Penelope today since I was changing the old/burnt coil & wick with a new one. While I was taking the Penelope apart, I dropped the small center nut that goes inside the ceramic into the sink, and it went down the sink hole. I'm really disappointed at myself for not being more careful, especially with the small parts. Please help me!

Does anyone have an extra center nut (the small one that goes inside the ceramic) for the Penelope for sale? I will pay for shipping costs and extra if needed.

Thanks in advance,

- Louis

Yes and they don't have it in stock. Actually, esmokeguru doesn't even have it listed.

I am really sorry about what happened to you dok But as Aron said, please check sellers first. Maybe Bruce have spares

Pull the p trap out from under the sink. It should be sitting right in there.

Aw man, sorry to hear it, if I had one it would be yours-
Don't run any more water down that drain until you check the trap, though! It could possibly still be in there...maybe?

edit: Tavic beat me to it lol Good luck!

Definitely check the trap - I recovered a wedding ring once.

Great advice guys!! After reading this I went to clean mine. Nothing there, only dirt that prevented water to flow quickly inside tubes.

 

[dokebilee]

I checked the trap (a very inefficient one) under my kitchen sink and the nut piece wasn't there, everything went straight down (except for the occasional junk). Sad day for me...

I posted a thread in the CoV section to see if Bruce might have one laying around.

Go down to your local hardware store and take the post with you, you may be able to source another nut that fits. If that fails you can wrap the wire around the post and just put another oring on there to hold the wire

Steve is right on this Dok. Its a nut with regular 3mm threads. They exist in tons on stores.

dokebilee,

maybe Bruce ordered extra Penelope spare parts from the iAtty and Penelope preorder ("Advance Sale"), if he did so, maybe he can reserve one for you.

 

[dokebilee]

@Steve and Imeo, I'll check the hardware store as soon as I get the chance. Have my fingers crossed.

@Ariel, I hope so. I made a thread in the CoV section for Bruce to see.

Back to my old friend, the Reo and Cartomizer, for now.

Check in a hobby store--especially places that specialize in RC cars or model railroading. They usually have all kinds of small parts, and finding a small stainless nut that will fit this part should be possible there. Not a Michaels or a craft store like that, but a dedicated hobby shop...

Which nut did you drop doke? THE center post nut or the upper connection nut? I might be able to help depending on which one it is.

The center post nut that goes inside the ceramic piece.

 

[house mouse]

I've. Got one you can have. Pm me if you want it.

Looks like house has one for you, but just out of my curiosity I was wondering if anyone new off hand if the Oddy and Penny Center Post Top Nuts were the same nut? ( COV has some of the Oddy's version in stock)
