Nemesis switch pin woes. Help please!

[tomsa34]

Hello. My wife and I both use Nemesis clones and mine is great, and I can't even figure out who made it. My wifes, on the other hand, looks beautiful but has some build issues such as crunchy threads etc (although hers has an adjustable 510 and mine does not, go figure) Now we both upgraded to the magnetic switches, on hers though the switch is really loose when screwed in. I deduced that it was that little tiny pin that goes into the switch! It seems that the pin is much smaller then the hole in which it goes, this allows the the button alot of play and it drives her nuts. My pin fits perfect and is actually magnetic so no problems. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we could do to rig it or fix it? Any help would be appreciated , thanks everyone

There called Rice Pins. you could try a new one, they come in packs of 5.
Try fatdaddyvapes.

Any particular size? I am worried that if the rice pin is made for a real nemesis it may have simmilar problems? I am having internet issues today so I will take a look at that vendor later. Thanks for the help!

Sorry to hear about the problems with your Nemesis. My quick fix for the rice pin problem was making some nano coils out of 28g with about 10 to 12 wraps and trimming to length to fit perfectly. Works like a solid piece of metal and you don't have to wait for vapemail.

They come in one size and fit Nemesis and Stingray mods.
It's nice to have extras because you will lose one or two... trust me.

I like your idea I never thought of that.
I went to the basement and cut a piece of copper wire while I waited for the mail. I don't remember the gauge but it worked.

Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful.

WOW great advice on the nano coil! and as far as the copper goes I am lost trying to find the proper gage, already tried two different stores sadly. Thanks for the help though!

If you can't find any copper wire, just make yourself a nano coil and trim the length to fit inside the rice pin channel. It's been working well for me.

What should I use as a jig to wrap on? I am thinking one of those little blue screwdrivers that come with like every RBA/RDA clone lol. Gonna have to tinker when its time to charge my battery for the night.

Does not have to be metal.

Weed Whacker line will substitute.

 

[tomsa34]

wait the pin doesn't have to be metal you are saying? or do you mean the jig? please explain. lol I am a landscaper so I literally have weed wacker string all over the place haha

The Rice Pin can be replaced by a proper sized plastic tube - weed whacker string.
It is not needed as part of the conductive circuit. It is to keep the button from free spinning.

 

[tomsa34]

Well ....! that is amazing. I am quite sure I can find something to fit. Does it have to be smooth so the button can move over it or does it move with the ring on the button? I can't really tell as I look at it now.

Line is self lubrication - either will do as long as it fits properly.

I have been on this forum for less then 2 days and already I have been helped greatly. You guys rock

I am sooo glad that I read this forum! I lost my pin and thought it was the end of the world! I took a wire hanger and cut a piece off and it worked flawlessly. I hadn't realized the rice pin was only really to hold the fire button in place so it doesn't unscrew it self. Thanks everyone!

Hi crxess, are you sure about that? maybe I am wrong but I had the impression that the purpose of the pin is to assist with conductivity along with the small hard spring that is located below the pin. btw I own the original Nemesis so I may be talking about a different thing.
