My nemesis switch randomly gets hot while taking a puff wondering if this is a serious issue i pulled the switch apart and was wondering does anyone know what that piece of copper is for?

Do you use magnets and are you talking about the rice pin that goes between the button post and the switch body?
At the very bottom of the switch there is a piece of copper wrapped around the post. Down by where the spring hits.
That's just a short spring that should help with conductivity if everything is adjusted correctly.
What atomizer are you using? What resistance is it built with?
The ideal guess would be the mod has a higher resistance than the atomizer. Clean every connection of the mod and see how it goes. Keep us updated. (noalax works wonders as well as other conductive greases out there)
(and why is it called a rice pin??? did I miss something here?)

What atomizer? Have you cleaned all the thread and made sure the top and bottom center pins tight?
It's called a rice pin because it's the size of a grain of rice (and looks like one).

Whaaaat? So your not suppose to boil and eat a bowl of them? I have a feeling I am going to be in for a surprise after my morning coffee tomorrow.
Im still using my igow im having trouble deciding which rda i want to sit on my neme.
But I took brasso to all the threads and the entire switch it hasnt done it yet, plus the switch is nice and buttery now

Here's a few more people who have had the same issue and found solutions.

When I was still using a protank and nemisis clone, I had the coil short out. The whole mod got hot and actually burned a spot on the button and lock ring.
The copper ring is garbage. They throw it in there because the authentic has a short secondary copper spring. They are emulating that, is my best guess. I threw it out since it served no purpose. I tried to stretch it to make it a viable spring but no luck lol.

Hi all
I have a similar problem with my Hcigar nemesis clone but I don't think it's the same.
I clearly experienced a short circuit as the whole unit including my protank super heated in an instant when I fired the switch.
This only happened after I replaced the spring with magnets (I used 3 in order to stand the nemesis without autofiring). I tested a couple of times and all was fine. However, I decided to screw the switch a little tighter to the tube (even though it was sufficiently tight already). I then fired it and it instantly shorted.
After checking the battery and making sure it was safe, I removed a magnet so there is only 2. Rechecked and everything is fine again (although it's not sufficient to keep to nemesis from autofiring while standing). However, I tried to recreate the initial fault by further tightening the switch and was able to recreate the same short circuit fault again.
When I had springs I didn't have this issue and was able to over tighten the switch to the tube with no issue.
Is this an inherent problem with using magnets or am I just causing the problem with over tightening the base to the tube?
Just to add, the magnets I use are very brittle having had 2 break already and their diameter only just clears the base's centre tube. The magnets sit under the rice pin rather then around it (maybe this is the problem?)

so far it has decreased next to none but i think it had something to do my igo i picked up a tobh 2.5 and it hasnt happened since idk
maybe it just wore in and it was a problem that fixed itself but no issues now thanks guys!

Use 2 magnets and use the locking ring then stand the mod, theres a locking ring for the switch for a reason so you dont put the thing down and autofire it to oblivion.
