Fully Mechanical switch???

[Zach Harris]

I'm making a parallel 18650 box mod and can't find a fully mechanical switch, does anyone know where i could find one?

You're in the wrong forum for this, but seeing as you have a 1 post count, that makes sense.

A lot of box builders use 10amp horn switches. They seem to work for most box mods, even the 8V, 400W+ LiPo boxes on Vaperzcloud.

I'm personally using a 230W-capable jet-ski starter solenoid for my 4x18650 parallel box, just for the fun of it going

and that I don't need a secondary circuit with ballast to stop the horn switch from melting.
You could also take a switch from an existing tube mod and attempt to solder wires to it...
Just kidding don't try that.

You can get your supplies from fatdaddyvapes or varitube is another good source.

You do know that passing all the power through a switch will make the contacts degrade quite quickly, yes? Sure you don't want a high-power MOSFET and a small switch?

Or you can look for switches that can be maintained...like those used in mechs. They have a pin that's sandable/replaceable for this reason.
