Howdy all. Been pretty quiet around here as of late. I have been busy working on something I can't talk about just yet ;-) I do have buttons in stock in the gallery and I am again properly restocked on steampunk button making tidbits. I should be back in the button lab near the end of the week.

Alright folks. Here is what I have been working on lately. I have decided to make a some more if anyone is interested. What do you all think? This is the prototype and has been in my daily driver for about a week. It goes without saying that subsequent mods will have a better fit and finish.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Yes 18650 full mech. I am using a 6 ml bottle in the prototype but am looking for a bit larger bottle. This thing is ALL copper and brass except the 510 which is stainless. The switch connection is not made on the battery so no more pitted battery tops[emoji6] The switch is user serviceable by removing the bottom portion of the mod. All insulators are hand cast resin of course[emoji1]

I suppose you all are wondering the price point on this thing. I have been pondering this for a while and I really don't know what it's worth so I am just gonna punt here and say......I'm gonna do the first 5 mods at $175 each and then reevaluate. I guess let's call it the early adoption price.[emoji6] Feel free to start an interest list.

I didn't realize until now it was a squonker! How awesome! Nice work Roscoe :)

I'd be happy to put myself on the interest list, but I'm short on funds for the moment. Hopefully I'll get a chance to get one though.
Out of curiosity, how easily can those components be taken apart & reassembled by the user?

It is incredibly simple... the top just slips of. The bottom comes off by removing the 5 screws around the base and sliding it off. The switch insulator is held in by 3 of those five screws. The button has no lock but before pocketing I just raise the top a bit to disconnect the battery to prevent accidental activation. I subscribe to the K.I.S.S. concept.

I am in process of sourcing materials at the moment so first run of these is a bit out yet. I realize that the woodvil sale is in a couple days so I am in no hurry to get a batch made[emoji6]
