I'm hoping the same thing. Order number 24952.
I understand from another thread that the 3.7/6v (copper switch) is the default option unless you specifically requested the 5v option. Is that true?
Thanks!
The 5 volt switch's contact disc will be a grey color.
The 3.7/6 volt disc will be copper colored (because it's made of copper)

.Hey Greg,
That is correct. 3.7v/6v was the default option. I have now since added options on the site so there is no more confusion

Hey Mbo -- Yes, Max is Correct. 5v = Gray ... 3.7/6v = Copper like a penny
You just look at the small contact disk on the button.

Great! Thanks again, Steve!
Yup, some of the V1 switches should be arriving tomorrow sometime I'm hoping
My shipment has been sitting in Cincinnati since Saturday night, would normally have been delivered today, but with today being a holiday, won't get it until Tuesday.
Looking forward to it..
Wow Thanks for asking that question because I was wondering the same thing since I ordered one of each, I was telling myself hmmm"how would I tell the difference".
So its good to know now they will be color code.
Thanks Everyone

Oh ya it arrived today alright... but since USPS is lazy and took the day off due to a holiday, my precious is sitting in some room at the sort facility. *sob* Can't wait to drip some blueberry!
Got my two 5V today - they both work perfect so far. Hit maybe a little stronger than old switch, but no burnt taste like it would be from a straight 6+V, so I guess all is well.
One of mine went straight on, the other I had to back of the adapter a little. Have you fooled with the mechanical switch before? I don't keep up ... You have to mess with how hard you push it and how it's lined up and whatever. The tightness of the adapter effects the alignment of the switch bits apparently.
Use the ear test, it's easier lol. Anyhow, try backing off the adapter maybe .25" at a time and listen for the hiss and see if you can find the sweet spot. If you do it may change as the parts wear in.
Got mine today too, like I knew I would.. anyway, ripped out the old switch, threw it in a box and put the new one on. Fired up first time and been working like a champ since.
Thanks for taking the time to make these guys!
Question.. if I put a 18650 on, I'm assuming the voltage will drop on it as well? I'm sure I already know the answer, but just want to confirm..

Got mine today as well. But the contacts are grey/steel colored, not copper. (I'm comparing the color of the contact on the button to the contact on the adapter, which is definitely copper/penny colored.)
But anyway, I'm using the 18650 battery and I swear it's hitting better than my old tact switch. So is it a placebo effect? or maybe the voltage doesn't drop much with that battery? or maybe I'm color blind?
I might pop my old RCR123a batteries in later to see what happens.

Haven't tested it SVT, so not entirely sure bud
Probably quite minimal, but when using 3.7v, you want its FULL potential to get the largest benefit Got mine today as well. But the contacts are grey/steel colored, not copper.

Hey Greg ... Contact posts has stayed the same on all versions of our mechanical switch ... They are aluminum. What HAS changed is the contact disk on the button. That is copper or a different gray material.
And I haven't used my V1 or Protege since getting my V2, but when I started using the mechanical switch on my Protege with the copper disk, I noticed a better hit with the Mechanical over the standard tact switch
Steve - We're discussing this in another thread but wouldn't a copper contact ring in the V2 make it a 3.7 / 6v device?
Yes, it will make it a 6v device (or atleast closer than the standard 5v contact disk) No long 3.7v batt will fit in the V2 currently.
