In the land of no hills and red dirt
After many months, maybe 1 year, I deside to do a research to ECF and I found a thread where some people said that a "touch switch" will outlast the GG mechanical switch.
My answer is: :lol::lol::lol::lol:

If I can field strip a cheap ball point pen and use the spring to repair the touch switch, sure. Otherwise, no.

Macgruber!

Don't even mention touch switches! My mobile phone has touch switches and feels like it is haunted! I can't even think of touching it and it calls someone of my phonebook even on 4am. And if it is connected with my hands free, I cant just push "no" to stop the call, I must find the hands free and do it from there! #&@#$*&*& gadgets! :D:D:D:D:D

So, nope, mechanical all the way for me :thumb: You press, it works, you don't press it doesn't work, simple!

I saw a device with a touch-switch when I was at the mini vapers fest in York on Saturday and I have to admit, it looked lovely.

BUT, what happens when that switch fails? You can be certain that it will, eventually. It's SO reassuring that the GG is user serviceable - I am an extremely heavy vaper (as anyone who was at York can attest. :vapor::D:vapor:), I rely on my devices and I know with my GG that I can fix any problem that ever crops up with it.

shorts happen every day Lisa, so if a short happens this kind of switch is dead. Can anyone compare this touch-switch to a switch that can be fixed in 3 mins by the user?

And as Jumi said, you push it it works, you lock it and it doesnt work

That's what I am saying. The device looks nice and the apparent ease of operation will attract many people, it is a nice device. However, they may well end up wasting their money like so many people have prior to owning and enjoying a GG. :)

You can not use touch switch with gloves and if you have dry hands it will not be reliable.
It gets real cold where I live and I wear gloves. GG forever


I had never thought of that dunno my friend, so yes they are 2 more disadvantages for this button.
