Call me a copycat, but I too wanted to breathe new life into my Chi You (I've never been a big fan of the stock switch):

I got my brass Nef-i switch and top cap from Calivapers with this sweet home made 101 copper tube:

You're not a "copycat" The NEF switches really make this chi improve its mystique. I don't know how you feel about the throw and how hard you need to press the switch to fire but I replaced the spring with the paps v3 spring. The throw is still long but effortless in terms of pressing...i dig it more now.
I'm not a huge fan of recessed buttons. I prefer depressing bottom buttons with my palm, rather than depressing recessed buttons with my pinky, but I knew what I was getting in to (it's extremely similar to the Anatoilan switch). The throw is a bit long but I don't find it hard to depress. I replaced the spring with magnets and the action seems to be about the same (I haven't purchased spare GP Paps v3 springs yet, but I do have lots of v2.x springs that might work).
I saw your posts here and on FB about using a washer to shorten the throw. I may try it just for the heck of it, but I don't think that I want the button to be recessed within the switch housing (if I'm envisioning it correctly).
I think the Nef-i switch feels and looks better than the Chi You switch. I hate the stock Chi You top cap - I think it's bulky and ugly and I could never get airflow through it when I used to use RTAs (I considered drilling out and enlarging the air holes, but I didn't trust myself not to mess it up). The stock cap has been stashed away in favor of a Vaperev flat top cap that I picked up in the Classifieds a while ago.
I'm eager to get on the Nef-i copper list when it becomes available. It might be nice to get a SS switch and top cap to have a complete set, but it's not really something that I covet at the moment.
