how close do these look compared to the switches on your devices? They are called SPST momentary switches N/O 1/4". Hopefully anybody who is knowledgeable in electronics will chime in.

Over at www.e-cigreview.com , if you watch Dusty's review of the Screwdriver, he talks about replacing the switch on the one he received and said he bought a pack of 2 for a couple of dollars at Radio Shack. He also said to e-mail him if you needed any info--so if you are looking for a replacment, give him an e-mail over there and I am sure he will help you. Hope that Helps--Sun

For USB type mods? I've tried what looks the same from Maplins in Brit Push-to-Make Low Cost > Maplin
, but the chunkier square versions seem better able to take the power needed
Square Push-to-Make Switch > Maplin

Could be wrong, but I think it's better to go for the higher spec (more power, Tooltime grunt)

Dunno about that Trog - pvc taped mine to the outside of the battery case. If it don't fit, work around it!

i dont think they do.. two part epoxy putty and heat shrink tubing does a good job.. pvc tape and elastic bands are a bit of a kludge.. he he he..
