Can I remove the built in fire button from a dna 40 board without hurting anything? It would fit better without the fire button sticking up and if I tape that side against the box, I'm concerned that it might fire accidently.

You can remove the fire button but will have to solder in jumpers in its place. If you don't need the space, you can pluck the button out with needle nose or pop the cover off the switch and remove the button that way.

I don't seem to have authorization to view (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/for...l#post14630024).
Oppss sorry, you need to be verified to have access that section. Anyways here's mikepetro original post quote
No its not, but I guess it depends on what you want to do with it. If you are placing it in a tight environment where it might get pressed (or you need the extra space) then just take the "cap" off the switch. It pops right off with a small screwdriver.
If you remove the whole switch by cutting it off, like we did on the previous DNAs, then you have to solder some jumpers onto the board, as the board uses the common contacts in the switch as part of the circuit. You have to replace both sets of common contacts with jumpers soldered directly on the board.
Just pry up on the little catch on the side.
