Nemesis Clone Battery Pin Lock

[jdmintegra1]

I was at work using my hcigar Nemesis Clone and my button was acting weird.

I took a look at my button and it appears that while taking it apart I either lost the battery pin lock or didn't have it. I spent over an hour searching for this work, with no results : (. I will attach a picture so that you can see what I am talking about. I haven't been home to check the box to see if there was another one supplied but I doubt it. I was just wondering if anyone else has lost this little pin or came up with any solution on how to fix this. The neme is still usable the button just spins and the locking ring will not stay tight on there because the button is now locked down.

Has anyone had this issue, found where to get another, or how to fix it?

I just bought this neme clone about a week ago so I'd really like to get this taken care of.
Thanks guys.

Did not know that, I'm still a newbie. Thanks though, I will look into getting another rice pin! Are these interchangeable for mech mods or specific? I

After searching for rice pin on here I found some more good information. I found someone who used weedeater string as a rice pin. Also, had no clue about magnet switches or upgrading to them, I think I'm going to look into that some more too.

Coming from a fellow Nemmy clone owner, I'd venture to guess the weedeater stuff may just work better than the steel pin. That little steel pin is what causes all of the binding to begin with, it sucks! Terrible design. The plastic would probably offer less sliding resistance than that pin, which digs itself into the brass threading. That is the notchyness you feel while pressing in.

Yeah i plan on atleast trying it, cause I really don't like the button feels. It will just spin and won't stay in the locked position without it. I hate how crunchy it feels.

In a pinch a toothpick cut to size works quite well.

I read a thread where someone used a piece of a large paperclip

I cut down a small Alan key (not sure what size). It's become my perminant solution, however I've found some loss in Wattage when my connector is screwed so tight as to touch the top of the Alan key piece.

I used a piece of a large paper clip about 2mm in diameter (butterfly clip), cut mine with a Dremel but any wire cutting tool and a nail file to deburr the ends will do. I'm still using it BTW, works perfectly.
