Note 5 S Pen Stylus spring

[AC Question]

I've had the Note 5 for about 2 years and I originally went with the Note 4 and then 5 because of the stylus and how it docks in the phone. The level of quality control on the pen construction is poor, at least for allot of us.

Does anyone know where to get the spring that goes in the S Pen? Or what size it is??? I am sitting here with yet another stylus broken apart at the same place it always seems to break where yet another spring flew to who knows where because it's so flipping small.

Thanks.

Just buy a used pen on ebay. If it breaks, then steal the spring and put it in your broken pen.

The springs that are inside many disposable cigarette lighters are the right size. Especially the cheap ones that are made of *clear* colored plastic so that you can see the fluid inside. If you take apart the thumb-striking mechanism at the top you'll find a tiny spring inside. It will be longer than you need, so trim it down to about 1/4 inch in length. Then it should fit just fine.
