My Mantis

[Aphex13]

I wrote cigtechs and asked them if I could get my white mantis with a black button. They told me no, so I asked if I could buy a black button from them, their answer was no to this as well. So I went searching online for a similar button, but no love. It wasn't until two or three weeks later, when I was on digikey looking for parts for the box mod that I am building, that I found one by accident. They had three different versions, a silver one, a black one, and a black one with a slightly convex button. I didn't like how deep I had to press the original switch, so I opted for the convex one. I couldn't be happier with it. Oh, while I had it all apart, I replaced the blue led with a white one to try to keep the black and white theme. Any way here's some pics. Let me know what you think.

cool! I have been thinking about building a square tube mod here recently. I like the square tank plugs aswell. Did you buy the whole thing like that? or was the tank your idea?

I would like to take credit for the design, but I can't. I purchased both pieces from cigtechs.com. All I did was replace the silver button with a black one, and swap the blue led with a white one. I think I may have a little engraving done on it as well, maybe like a light circuit trace around the switch, but that will have to be done later on.

Sweet setup, the black and white is definitely sexy!
