Thats a job and a half loobie. Have you not got a magnet that you can push around the area where it fell? I know they jump off to weird places.

I have taken an iStick 30W apart recently and those screws I think are this:

Pozi drive pan head self tapper screws and the are about 1.5 mm thick and about 5 mm long.

It needs a screwdriver that comes in an instrument screwdriver set aka jewellers screwdrivers.

I doubt you can buy such screws so would rely on someone with some old dismantled stuff..excess junk?

Sorry cannot help further

do you have any atomisers with screws ?
if you do see if one of them will fit the hole  if it does then something from this FT search might fit the bill www.fasttech.com/search?replacement%20screw%20for%20  so long as it matches the threads and diameter its a "fit" the overall size doesn't matter until your looking for the bag to purchase with regards to what size might fit, if you have a way of measuring one of the remaining screws then the length of it (mm) and the width of it  (again mm) might point you in the right direction it seems FT use long x wide to determine the size of screw, so its unlikely they would use anything else in the gear they make and flog as clone products/

Hi loobie , ive had quite a few 20 and 30 iSticks apart and ive always found the tiny screws to Torx head screws (size T5) rather than pozi drive. ( all mine have been eleaf so other brands may have used different screw heads)

The good news is ive had a little rummage and ive a spare screw I'll post to you FOC if you'd like it.

I can't help with the T5 Torx bit though I'm afraid as I only have the one. Well when I say I can't help I can point you in the right direction

dont hold your breath but i pulled an istick 50 apart after it died i may have the screws in a lil compartment box, i will check later your welcome to them if i find them, tho no guarantee they are the same, the magnet trick is the best option imho a magnetic door for a mod even might pick it up

Lost screw - empty your hoover then hoover the area, screw should then end up in the empty hoover

Alternatively, walk about with bare feet, bet you stand on it

That only works when it's a big screw that can either damage your Hoover or hurt like hell, and you didn't want to find it anyway 

those little blighters manage to bounce to places the hover can't suck

Like Greg I've stripped a few 20w sticks and there have been these two versions in them if any look like the culprit you are welcome to them

The largest instrument screwdriver in the jewelers set fits well Arcturion. Its not Torx on my 30W unless I need to goto Specsavers...again. However, when I took mine apart I found the screws had been seriously over tightened. Its the same bloke going from place to place in China I'm sure?

 I should report that my iStick 30W is a fake, so the screws are likely different...and other stuff. A pic of the screw and screwhead might be useful?

If I put atGreg in, Arcturion appears ...like this probably does?...Arcturion

Likely I got the "at"/ "@" thing wrong as well. @ works on other names.

Aye we've had fun with that before as I recall, for me try @ gregb   It's just that like some others my display name is different to my username and the @ function only works with usernames 

[Deleted]

calnorth:-
greg =Arcturion
Greg = (gregb) The one your looking for here
Sometimes a wee check of the piccie along with the name will let you know if you've tagged the right member.
Don't worry, I'm sure Greg will have been called worse than Arcturion in his time.

[Greg]

In a previous occurrence calnorth I changed my display name to Acturian as opposed to Arcturian, imagine the confusion that caused

Also note that even though you have to use the @ username what is actually displayed once you postis the users display name.

Confused yet.

As another example if you typed @ Chrissie without the space it wouldn't be recognised, however if you were to type @ admin it would display as Chrissie
