The problem with that is that the ego connection would still be at the end of the 510 connection and the cone he wants to put on it would not be flush with the pipe stem.

I understand, but that's the easiest way.

I have a old egg bent shank I've done this with, but I used my metal lathe to turn the ego connection down to perfectly fit the hole.

Beautiful looking pipe. I'm still waiting on my revised switch to arrive. I thought these switches were made to fix the auto firing issues. Are they still happening?
Check your batteries. I had the issue with auto firing but putting electric tape around the edge of the battery helped me out. I'll post.pictures later tonight for more details.
Please say you are making Hammer of Thors again?!
Yeah, ive had to dump the battery out a few times due to it not turning off and getting stuck. It seems as if the little button on the underside gets stuck or something on mine. Oh well, Im living with it no problem but still at this point slightly prefer the feel and consistency of the old button which had its flaws also. It takes time to perfect these kind of things but it seems like Matt does his very best to try and fix them as fast and as best as possible.
Thanks for the replies, appreciate it . The batteries are fine, its just that the imrs I use are a bit short as they are the flat top ones and the key ring is a bit slant on one side so when the battery and the button moves towards that side as its a loose fit it makes contact and fires up. As I said its not a big deal coz I can bend the key ring just a little bit and it'll be fixed. But i'm gonna keep it like this as it acts as an auto switch, so when I want to activate it I just bend the pipe a little bit and it fires and to turn it off just move it the other side and it goes off. I'm just loving this pipe.

Here is a small clip of me pipe auto firing. The good thing about this problem on my pipe is it activates when I move it towards me so its kinda cool and hence feels like an auto switch. I'm not gonna bother Matt for this though. But just thought I'd share so Matt is aware of the problem. Thank you
Gorgeous looking pipes there Radikalc, very nice selection 
i have received my epipes today, i'm so happy !!!

Bravo Mon Ami.
Congratulations My Friend.
Ok, so I had the same problem with my button getting stuck. Looks like there's a small disc of metal (maybe another magnet) that's kinda thin between the battery magnet and the upper magnet.
What I did to help with the sticking button was the pull out the smaller magnet (the one on the battery side) with a thick heavy-ish piece of steel Just stick the button to it and try to pull it off as straight as you can, don't slide it. The small battery magnet will stay stuck to the piece of steel (could also try the fridge). Then drip, DRIP, a drop or 2 of lightweight oil into the switch. Don't go overboard as you don't want to get it everywhere. Then work the thin disc inside up and down with a small screwdriver to let the oil get between the edge of the disc and the inner wall of the switch body.
The place the switch back onto the battery magnet and slide, SLIDE, it off the metal it's stuck to (iron bar, steel plate, refrigerator, that steel plate in your head, whatever). Your switch should now function a little better. Well, mine did anyway.
Hope it helps.

Not sure I followed all of that but when I get home and have the button in my hand Ill play with it, although I dont have any light weight oil that I know of. I do want to make it less sticky though. Even when I have it off the pipe Ill push it in and out and it doesnt take long before it starts to stick.
Yeah that's how mine was. Just stick it to the refrigerator then pull the switch straight off. WD-40 should work. Just squirt some in a spoon then drip a drop or two at most into the center of the button where the little magnet was. Work it up and down a bit. Put the little magnet back in and it should be a lot better. It seems like there's no lube in there at all and metal on metal contact doesn't lead to smooth operation.
Thanks Scottua, will try when I get home from work tonight. If it ran more smoothly I think it is a huge upgrade from the original buttons so Im excited to get it working more consistently, especially since I plan on buying more pipes
Also looking forward to Matt putting up the vid on making the faux tobacco buttons.
