This for an 801 atomizer and is made out of a 2¾" piece of ½" copper pipe and pipe caps. The battery is a PCB protected Trustfire 14500 900 mAh (AA size). The copper body makes the negative side and the positive terminal of the battery makes direct contact with a #10 brass machine screw set into a ratshack ¼" phone jack (247-0252). I used a ratshack submini pushbutton switch (275-1571).

Other components include some copper coax sheathing (fur) used to make the contact with the body, a battery spring, a half-inch of small gauge wire, wire insulation for the positive terminal, a section of the tip from an old tube of caulk and hot glue.

The battery spring sits on the caulk tube tip and the wire soldered to it feeds through a hole in the side of the tip and is soldered to one side of the switch. The copper fur is soldered to the other side of the switch and makes contact with the body from there.

The battery is a very snug fit within the pipe but shakes out without too much difficulty when an end cap is twisted off. A pipe of ¼ to ½ inch shorter length could be made to work.
