I'm not actually a mod builder, but I do know which end of a soldering iron to hold (meaning that I do indeed have 15 and 30W irons with high-quality resin core solder---30 years old but still viable---and I know how to solder pots and plugs from my earlier days as an electric bassist).
I recently bought a couple of 2AA 3.7V box mods and a 3AA 5V box mod from GoodEJuice because with the introductory coupon code they were just about as cheap as building kits. They're simple and work fine, but rather than the horn buttons pictured on the site, all three came with those crappy little 99¢ switches (the ones with the red or black plastic caps) from madvapes. In fairness, the description did say that the switches might vary from those pictured. Anyway, the mods are worth keeping, but I'd like to replace the switches.
I don't live near a RatShack, but I could certainly order the ubiquitous $1.79 horn buttons that madvapes sells. Under-rated, no doubt, but they seem to work fine since they're used on a zillion box mods.
What I'd prefer however, is a horn-like button with a nice solid and audible CLICK, and preferably a little tactile feedback to go with it. Can any of you good folks recommend and/or provide links to some decent, not too expensive switches available online with that feature?
