Best mechanical mod button you've ever had? (on the hunt)

[treehead]

Hey guys as the title suggests, I'm looking for an 18650 mechanical mod with a smooth as silk button. To be honest I'd be totally happy with a button that fires so easily it's easy to do it on accident. I've pretty much reached my personal vaping heaven (for now ), and the only thing missing is a mech mod with a flawless button. I'm not particularly picky other than the fact that I don't care much for brass, it looks good but I don't like polishing/lead content.

These are a few things that would be a plus but don't matter in the big scheme:
- Magnetic would be awesome.
-Stainless steel, titanium, or even better copper. (I don't have a titanium one yet.)
-recessed button
-has a lock
-not a button that "sticks out" like nobby side firers.

I'd love to hear any suggestions even if they don't agree with the above preferences, I'm just looking for a solid, easy as heck (it can be alot of pounds for force, I just mean doesn't ever catch or stick) to push, long lasting firing button. I'm willing to spend around 50-100$ (maybe more depending) for a quality button, I am so sick of needing to rock my finger back in forth and squeezing the life out of my mod button for it to finally "give" and fire.

-Thanks so much in advance, what's your favorite mod button?

I second the Paps.

I third it. Paps.

so far my favorites are- the king mod, chi you and astro

the chi and king have a really short throw, but these cant be set down on the button or they fire.

the astro is a little more stiff and a little longer throw but I can set it down without the lock ring on. So overall the astro wins for me

Thanks guys , that's what I'm looking for. I haven't heard of Paps until now, they look like a good company. The button looks recessed from the pics, is that how it is?

Thanks for the detailed input, I've actually had my eyes on astro's for a while now, but never known what the reviews are like. I'd like a buttery yet firm button, because I have great grip, and my pinky muscles are ripped from crappy buttons now , so as long as it glides I'm good. However a short throw is awesome too, my one good mechanical is the black copper stingray, and it's nearly touch sensitive, just not stainless steel or recessed.

Gotta drop a vote for the Stingray. Absolutely love the switch on that baby.

I'm really liking pap's switches, and how they pay so much attention to them. v3 can stand upright, can be set down without firing, and is rated 10/10 for the "drunken vaper test" exactly what I mean.

I like how they're interchangeable, I'm thinking a bead-blasted SS (their super brass is cool, but I just don't care for the gold look) 2.1 tube + 2.5 switch + flat top cap would be sweet.

1mm throw and you can set it down without firing. That's sweet. But they're all out of stock darnit.

That looks like a nice button, I've never cared for telescoping mods though. I like one continuous line.

There's a thread here on the clone of the gp. Sounds like it has a decent switch for a clone. Just in case the price of an original exceeds you finances.

Did someone say... Paps? ;-)

 

[doghouse]

PAPS No doubt

I prefer a side button, my two favorites are the Poldiac and the Roller. The Roller button sticks out and it is a telescoping mod so you probably won't like it but the Poldiac button is flush, magnetic and comes in your choice of battery size. They are over $100 but well worth it.

Paps 2.5... if no one has mentioned yet
GL finding one, highly coveted and no more to be made. When you could buy just the switch, retail @ $75. Now U R lucky to see them in complete 350 form for around $160. Still a buy it now @ that price.

Loving my Panzer blackhawk with magnet upgrade. I rarely use the locking ring now. Can Set it down with zero fire worries.

Silver pins in the mail. Will be a great saturday sitting by the mailbox and vaping. Wave and honk if you see me

For my clones... my Chi-You will do the trick. For my high ends... It's all about how you adjust the switch really in my opinion. The Copper Vanilla button is pretty smooth for being spring loaded, plus it's a telescopic top fire, copper, and a fairly generous size.

The locking is smooth and reverse threaded, and I much prefer the second variation, which has the Smok-E Mountain logo as opposed to VANILLA, which is what stopped me from getting it before. Also, the button CAN be recessed, if you adjust it right

My BioMech Gen 2 only really matches your recessed button and stainless steel needs.

My absolute favorite is my Mirandus, however, just got it today. Throw isn't reversed, but it's a really stylized piece in my opinion, everything is adjustable, from whether you want magnets or spring as they give you both, spring top pin or adjusting as you get both, and you even get to engrave something on there or pick your color scheme. All for 240.

However, bit out of your price range, the latter two are, but if you're will to spend an extra 65, the Copper Vanilla is brilliant, I love mine. But these are the only three authentics I have, but as someone suggested before, the Stingray is brilliant, and I enjoy my Chi-You. But between the two... I'd pick the Stingray, just because of the patina it develops
