Hello,
I currently have 2 Sparkplugs(123 and 17670) and two e Go batteries... using LR306 and sometimes iGo cartos.

the Sparkplug is great for the $$ but I don't like the Top button, and sometimes the switch is difficult to operate. So, I've been using my eGo batteries instead.

I'm looking at the SB or BB(or something comparable and cheaper)....
features I'm looking for:
side button
a button/switch that is easy to push(comparable to eGo type button/battery)
any recommendations?

What do you mean "isn't really easy to push"?
It takes alot of force? or do you have to fiddle with the button to get proper contact?

It makes contact just fine but you have to push it in quite a ways and it's recessed so it doesn't fit the criteria you specified in your original post where you say "a button/switch that is easy to push(comparable to eGo type button/battery)".
I'm fine with it and it is a really well made switch with a silky smooth action to it.

edit: the Madvapes mods go in and out of stock a lot so if you're interested check their site daily.

thanks cskent

the "positive contact" with one push is what I'm after. with the sparkplug, I can have the button pushed all the way down... and nothing. Have to reposition finger/fiddle to get "positive contact". (hard to explain if you haven't tried a sparkplug)

I can get it to work %100 but it takes some fiddling.... after a battery change is the worst(IMO). And I understand it might just be my unit or fingers(but I have two of them and they both do it).

it really sucks while driving.(not knowing if you are vaping or just inhaling air)..... and stressful traffic is the most crucial time to get reliable vaper lol.

well, thanks for the help and the heads up about madvapes.

I'm leaning towards the SB btw..... :)


"silky smooth action" sounds good to me.

yeah, kind of had a feeling that the SB is one of those "must haves".



to be clear:
when I said "a button/switch that is easy to push(comparable to eGo type button/battery)"

Thats a bad example of what I meant.
what I meant was a mod/tube where the + and - of the battery is always in contact with the springs/contact patch on each end and that a button/switch when pushed(or held down) completes the circuit. (ex: like a normal flashlight) VS. a purely mechanical where the battery physically moves to make contact or some other sort of part physically moves to make contact.
