Well **** me, right?

So how’s your day going? You don’t really need ceramic tweezers anyway, right?

 

[bombastinator]

No. No you don’t. This is why they suck btw. You are not the first person this has happened to.

 

[smacuser]

My condolences.

 

[JCinFLA]

That bites!
But, they do sell just the replacement tips, you know? Or, you could just get a couple pair of the Twizers instead. Haven't had even 1 pair of them break yet, and they're regularly only about $2.95 from US vendors...or way less on sale. FT also has them:

$2.52 Vaper Twizer Nylon + Ceramic Tweezers for E-Cigarettes at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Awwwwww... so sad. Not needed unless you are clumsy, lazy, daft at coil primping and near blind like me!

I have this crazy old dripper I love with offset parallel coils and wonky air placement and can't ever get the coils in it in the right place without mangling the rat snot out of them so need my ceramic tweezers! I feel your pain.

 

[AngeNZ]

I wanna see the coil that broke 'em

 

[ceeceeisme]

Note to self: order that extra pair of ceramic tweezers I've thought about but not done yet.

 

[Myk]

I've never needed them. Just don't press the button while tweezing. At least I haven't needed them except when my timing was bad and I pressed the button while tweezing.

I have ceramic tweezers but rarely use them. I use a precision tweezer set of 6 different types (all metal) that I picked up from harbor freight for a couple bucks. As long as your not firing the mod while making contact with the coil with the all metal tweezers, it does not hurt anything.

 

[Anise]

What about superglue? I thought that fixed everything

But those are teflon As mentioned, replacements available, as are other options. I've been using the Twizer's ancestors, also never had to break one.

You brute.

without mangling the rat snot out of them

Best to mangle that out before wicking, ime.

Not sure I'd want to vape burned cyanyo acrylate....

OH! You meant on the tweezer tips! Worth a try, although some brand super glues don't work on some teflon like material. But yep, can't hurt to try.

Whenever I order tools from China, I always grab a couple more for spares

I had a ceramic honing rod for my knives for a week. It rolled off the counter and shattered on the tile floor.

Leave the rat snot in. That's the best part. It's where the flavor's at

(I was using them to pull a wire straight, because I didn’t want to go downstairs for my second set of pliers)
:-S

I have ceramic triangular rods from (I believe) Spyderco. Never broke one, but they don't wear away and get loaded up with steel particles. Maybe okay for the final edge, but not worth the cost for the whole sharpening process.

Use Barkeepers Friend to clean them. It works wonders and super cheap.

Backups for backups includes tools...you should have read the manual.

Ah! So... You admittedly abused them.

Oh, well there's the problem.

But you already knew that.
