I'm thinkin' maybe we should try this again? . . . . and you kids should behave yourselves

How hard would it be to give the switch a little lower profile? Same switch but closer to the top of the mod. Same throw, just a little shorter heightwise. You have that post sticking out of the top. What if it were a little shorter?

Just throwing out an idea. I could be wrong but I think the spring back would be the same either way since it's more determined by the length rather than the height.

I have more ideas but thought I would throw a feeler out there and see how hard I get shot down.

Great point, X. And one that hasn't eluded me either. There's room there for a lower profile, and I intend to tweak that bridge when I come to it again. This was my third try it working these metals like this, first functional success, and it really is still a prototypical switch.

@X . . .. as for your more ideas: I don't want the bottom contact recessed in the wood, as it would require perfect alignment of assembly with every atty swapping. Bottom contact in switch needs to be proud of the cap, and by enough to clean it (re-shape, file, fine sand) numerous times. Also, it would be a dirt trap. (not good for contact points)

Agreed Carole for sure but why stop at the efficient and hard hitting and not make it look good as well.

But looks are subjective to whomever's eyes are being used.

Is it possible to just make it another option?

Yea, that's one of the things I like about it. It's right there where you can get to it for maintenance. It has great surface area at the contact point. I would guess it wouldn't require cleaning as frequently because of it. (Time will tell)

I'm sure you're probably way ahead of me as far as my other ideas go.

Well, I don't dislike the switch, I just don't LOVE it, it's just not got that 'gestalt' the Dibi does.... yet. But you know, maybe that's just because the metal on top looks so very shiny and different. I'm one of those people who usually has to look at something for a while first before I fall in love with it...the Dibi was actually the exception to this, I was IN LOVE the first time I saw your video of Pdib [HASHTAG]#0001[/HASHTAG] and how it came together, and it was actually the first bottom feeder I wanted. At the time, I had no clue how a bottom feeder worked even.

Dibi (or new design) has no issue with accidental firing anyway, because the button is
1. firm.
2. lower profile than the atomizer.
3. I wouldn't just pop it in my purse in the first place because I don't want to damage/scratch it.

I was just talking about how after my own foolish firing incident (all my own fault, the mod has an 'off' switch that I didn't use), I thought a recessed button might not be a bad idea, as it can reduce/eliminate one concern for forgetful owners.

I just facepalmed... the recessed button idea HAS been done, I look at it on my desk every day, doh ... the Billet Box has a recessed button... oops! My excuse for forgetting that is that I put a RAISED decorative button on my own black desk model, and the other never goes anywhere .

Right now, the dibi fire contact is under the top cap... it looks like it could be recessed on a regular dibi by making the button roughly 10 mm shorter, maybe (the height of the cap)?
But on a dibi, the button is cute.
