hahahaha ... what the.....anyone need some crown moulding installed?
LOL! did you just pitch yourself?
or was that a crack at my shabby design? lol
Steve just wrote about a replaceable button for different conductivity, but a button by itself would be easy to loose. How about instead of replacing the button for different resistances, just make it so you can rotate the button. "North and south" could have one material for conductivity and "east and west" would have another (all on the underside of the button). When the button was rotated it would change both contact points. Would illustrate but I think you get the idea.
The Mechanical button (switch) will be the BEST feature of any 3.7v unit currently available. I'm sure the customer service desk at PureSmoker will be throwing a party when it's finally produced.
(how's that for a bump? lol)

How about adopting the button described in this thread, and only play on the resistance with the center metallic insert of the adapter?
I already suggested that earlier but i don't know...here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/puresmoker/47146-prodigy-stick-old-go-new-10.html#post725629

i think the problem with the resistance might be finding the right metal to get it... and that varies with temperature as well... at room temperature it will be one thing, and at another it will be something else.
Here's a couple of links which might be useful in deciding on materials for a mechanical switch:

Will definitely look in to it Max ... Our Mechanical switch prototypes should be done soon. We tried 1 approach with disc springs, however it needed roughly 4lbs. of pressure to activate ... A bit tough! We are trying an approach much like yours now Monk!
Will keep you all posted! The mechanical switch will be available for the New Prodigy and Protege for those interested.

Please tell me the new mechanical switch will work with existing Prodigys and Proteges. I really do like both devices and the only problems I've had with both are the switches. I just can't afford to keep buying the newest versions of these products every other month. Please make the new switch fit the old units. Please?
Awesome!!! I will be interested for sure.... Be sure to twitter this release. lol....
Hey Cash... I never thought I would see a regular e-cig at PS again. But the new Ace looks really nice man.... I like... I might just have to pick up a few of those nice looking batts for the heck of it... I don't have any manuals for the Carto yet so.... and what a nice price point you have brought too... any chance you will stock the blank cartomizers sometime? Those are the ones I usually get.... at just about the same price as yours... Just wanted to say way to go and I look forward to upgrading the Protege to a mechanical switch soon. Thanks.....
Yeah, Steve needs to weigh in here. I get the impression from his post that the mechanical switches will fit the existing Protege and the new Prodigy.
A couple more for ya Steve.
Are the Atomz slotted cartomizers?
Are the batts slotted?

Just make sure to supply e-cig.co.uk with some ok?

Will Do Mist
Appreciate the kind words Vap! And yes, blank atomz will be stocked hopefully within the next couple of weeks
You are correct lotus ... Mechanical switches are being designed to be direct replacements to existing units
Atomz are slotted ... Batts are not slotted
Hope that helps Lotus!
