Hey so I have a nemesis clone that I got not that long ago and I'm loving it. The only issue I currently have with it, other than that it's a spring loaded firing switch, is the little tiny pin inside the switch keeps falling out forcing me to have to break my switch down and put it back together. I'm gonna be upgrading to magnets soon but before I do, I was wondering, could I like glue that little pin down so it doesn't fall out anymore or does it need to stay "free"? I'm afraid that if it falls out while its in my pocket or if I accidentally drop it that I'm going to lose the little pin

I am with yah- the only problem with that mech is the damn bottom keeps falling apart!!! LOL
other than that it is a beast
It really is. It's my first mech mod and it has completely changed my view on vaping. I had a Kanger subtank before that I thought was producing pretty decent clouds, but then I found my Nemesis for like $14. Thought it was too good to be true but I got it anyways. I gotta say, for a $14 Clone, having the bottom fall apart on occasion, which I can fix with some Teflon tape, I really can't complain. Hits way harder than any other mod I own

From what I remember when I owned a few Nemesis mods, the rice pin is held intact by the outer switch housing, which is held in place by the contact pin. That contact pin is supposed to be tight. If it's fully tightened onto the switch, that rice pin won't go anywhere, regardless of whether you have a spring or magnetic washers. That contact pin is not supposed be used as an adjustment for battery rattle like so many people mistakenly use it for. Could that be your problem?

Yes.
However after a bit of use the rice pin becomes loose. It's made of soft brass and so is the housing that hold it in place.
Same problem happens on the stingray mods.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^this.
The screw in the bottom cap needs to be tight. Once it is tight , there is not room for the rice pin to fall out, even if the rice pin is 'loose'; and the rice pin is always loose, it's not supposed to be tight.

as for the magnets, buy a 10pack but keep your spring somewhere you will find it;
those magnets for the nemesis are very fragile.

The stingray has a design suited to magnets; it uses solid disc shaped magnets;
to get magnets to work the switch in the nemesis, washer-shaped magnets are used, and they also have to be very thin.

I've probably broken about 10 of the magnets I had so far; some broke (shattered) as a result of the mod accidently falling on a hard floor; several broken as a result of handling with fingers like just trying to separate two magnets from one another.

I realize that the contact pin is supposed to be tight. I didn't loosen it for the battery rattle, I loosened it so that I could still fire it without the locking ring covering the vent holes. Guess I just have to deal with blocked holes til I get a new mod
