| I took some Sparkplug parts, some copper, an 18650 and made this. Looks like a fuse. Costs about 13 bucks. |

| Bottom piece is a 3/4"x1/2" reducer, the button fits nicely after cutting off the 1/2" piece and then filing/dremeling a little. The top is a 3/4" cap with a 3/8" hole drilled then filed/dremeled to fit the mount. The Sparkplug button and atty connector fit nicely against the 3/4" tubing, then the cap and adapter squeeze them tight for good continuity. The 18650 has lasted me all day. It's the first time I haven't been thru at least 2 charges in an 8-10 hour period. I made this because I was waiting for the 18650 NoEgo. Ironically, Romaniac came out with that today. I really like the mechanical switch of the Sparkplug tho. I ordered and extra switch and atty end from Sparkplug for Smokers to make this. Also got the adapters so I can use 510 or 808/901 stuff. Loving the 18650. | |

I'll take a real switch (even a cheap one) any day.   
I've beat that copper to death, the switch held up, even through my stacked pair of Tenergy Li-PO4 phase. It was the atty connector that finally went bad.

| Well I've no luck drilling either the thin aluminum or the copper so I could sink in a horn switch. Some good bits and a drill press are needed.
In the flashlight it's this RS 1.5A switch. 
I've had very good luck with them and I like the size and feel of the concave button.
I used it a long time, well over a year, with no problems on my original PT at ~ 4.4V. 
You need to carefully bend out the solder tabs flat. Solder carefully then you'll need some insulation as you will simply shove it deep into the body/hole as far as you can. A little hot glue, to check for operation and proper position, then some epoxy for strength.
The copper just uses a standard type of switch like these. 
It's just bolted. You can shim it from the inside so just a few threads show/catch from the outside, so it sticks out less. The above procedure will work also.
I don't use those anymore.

How have you kept the contacts from hitting the body? I was trying to use one of these, but they're so BIG!
Did you just bend them flat?
Duh...yeah, I really CAN read!!! I just have to put some effort into it...

| Movapor did me a great favor and sent me a fuze kit, WoW!! great mod Mo. Rockin it with a greenhouseone LR 510 from China.
I think even bumbling bikes could duplicate this basic,functional mod So Christmas quandries may be lessened for vapers on the list.
Thanks Movapor,pardon me while I vape.
