Definitely a bad switch. Multimeter shows everything working as expected if the switch were engaged regardless of the position of the button--so the short is inside the switch :/
America's Newest Submarine Tank

Pop, I was just wondering if you will be selling the full sized sub tank w/o a carto?
What type of switch? Saw some discussion in mod forum that some switches, usually small ones needs or should have a regulator, or. Mosfet board. Have you looked at any of those dc-dc step down boards? Look pretty sweat, can take 3 volts to 120 volts and can output 3.7 to over 12. Only takes 4 soddering points, next thing I build will use one of those.

Think so. Only suitable switch I have is longer than the box is thick. Just a matter of when I get to stop by the Ratshack and what they have in stock...
DC. The one I used was 3a/120v AC. Figured it would work since they're fine on the 3.7v boxes. I've read that AC rated switches cannot handle DC current sometimes, but that stuff's above my head
And no, I haven't looked at anything that's not in a kit yet. What part of "over my head" do you not understand?
I am getting the basic mv kit while I wait for my parts to come in. I still am aiming for one of those wood boxes, wonder if you could squeeze a vv set up in one of those.

If you have one of the 1.7's left could you hold one for me? I'd like to have a full-sized tank also (don't need the carto, but that's the only full-sized tank) and I need to order some more Butterfly Bait, but I think we're having a conversation before I order
If you have one of the 1.7's left could you hold one for me?
yes! It looks like I should get kits in that size also
The problem would be the potentiometer. If you don't mind wiring it instead of soldering it directly to the board, I don't think it would be a problem. As it is "intended" to be put together, though, I think the setup would be too awkard to be able to fit in...
The step down board has a pot built in, you can use various things for the cap, but the one on the board is a screw design.

If you use a wooden box, just make it internal adjustment.

Is it parallel to the board, then? The pot on the MadVapes kit is perpendicular if mounted. That's what makes it awkward...
