Nice switches?

[Doghead]

I've found some I really like the looks of, but they are just too big! I don't really like the one like you see on madvapes, etc. I'm tired of internet searching tonight.... Any help?
Or any ideas of making one? Examples of home-spun switches?

It might help to know what switches you like the look of but are too big.

They were just nice plain stainless steel switches. It just seems like I see a lot of really nice looking mods that have a firing button that looks just cheap, or like it doesn't belong. I don't want to see plastic basically.

Will a 2-3 amp switch malfunction if your pulling more amps than that off the battery?

possibly, depends on a few different things though such as how many amps, volts, duration of on time, duty cycle, etc.

it's too hard to determine without much information, and it's usually easier (for me at least) to just buy a switch and try it and see. if you aren't exceeding the maximum ratings by a whole lot, a lot of the time the switch will work fine, just for not as long as advertised, so instead of the rated 50,000 cycles you may only get like 40,000 or something.

when in doubt, there is also the option to add a mosfet.
