Button on the bottom, pros and cons?

[John Phoenix]

I'm looking at a lot of mods and notice many with buttons on the bottom. I use a Riva and a 5v passthrough both with buttons on the side.. dont know that i'd like the button on the bottom, But if the price is right.. such as this 24 dollar 6 volt, I may be tempted. I'm really looking for a dirt cheap 5 volt battery but this was the closest I can find.

Pros and cons of button on the bottom?

Sweet find. Looks like a nice mod. Might pick one up. The button seems pretty flush which is a plus. It may not be the most ergonomically placed button but I think it's acceptable for 24 bucks! At 6 volts too!...... Dammit ! I'm pulling out the credit card.

Wait a second! McDonald doesn't have the thermo on their site anymore. Any idea where I can find these?

Edit: LiteCig's got them but they're priced kinda high. Any place for the 24 dollas!?

Well for me the bottom button doesn't work because of arthritis, so I'm stuck with side buttons, but there are a lot of folks in here who swear by them. That one is a standard Screwdriver style but a real good price, so you won't go broke if it doesn't work out.

Edit: right here: Sparki SP3

I just made a button on bottom mod & I love it. Didn't think I would, but it's surprisingly comfortable.

Bottom buttons keep me out of jail! '....' I don't like 'em on a PV.

I never thought I would like a bottom button but I was surprised by how easy it was to use and like BardicDruid I also have arthritis issues and I have had surgery on both hands and wrists.
I bought a Super-T P-16 because it was so well made and I really was impressed by the craftsmanship.

Of course this will not be a $24. mod but it is an awesome,well made and simply a beautifully working mod John!

O.ki. tell me this.. how do you hold a bottom button PV to be comfortable with pushing the button?

 

[iuseaspork]

Pointer and middle finger on top. Thumb on bottom. Push button sideways with ring finger or pinky. Easier than it sounds.

Dr's debated long and hard about just removing my right hand or trying to put it back together after a climbing accident. So I consider myself lucky to just still have a hand. Unfortunately they used most of the tendons out of my lower arm to put it back togeather tho.
Safe to say that there won't be any bottom buttons in my future. I'm only comfortable with buttons that are easy to push with my thumb (and it has no pinch strength, so heavy on the easy to push part)

tj99959 wow sorry to hear that. i cant imagine. maybe a touch switch would be more comfortable. there are some nice ones out there and just takes contact to fire them.

Wow !!!! Incredible find. Beautiful looking little mod.

I have the Sparki SP3 and the Icon 1.1, both bottom button. I like both of them, but it does take some getting used to using the bottom button. After a while I guess it kind of becomes second nature. I keep flipping around between a bunch of different PVs so I never really get that used to anything.
