The Athena has just a button that pushes against the contact strip.
I'd expect it to have a smoother press, than a switch with an internal spring.

On the vaping Biker's live show, Dean did a build of the Drop RDA on the Pulse. He wasn't a big fan of the button feel -- called it "spongy." The video below is indexed to when he talks about it. But overall, he had a lot of positive impressions. It's not a review -- it was the first time he used it and it was a live show.
The full current drawn by the atomizer runs through the switch contacts on the Pulse. That is very unusual in a mechanical mod of this type. Very often the switch is just a button that pushes a heavy copper contact that is external to the switch - the switch is purely mechanical, not part of the circuit, and carries none of the current. Not so with the Pulse. The switch will have to be very sturdy to withstand the current demands without burning the contacts. Or the current may have to be limited to something less than many other mechanical squonkers like the Armageddon, Boxer, and Frankenskull mods.

DJLsb did a review with charts showing voltage drop #s. He also shows a simple fix for the voltage drop. The fix is at 8:42

Slightly squeezing the off switch outer contacts makes sense, is a trivial tweak.
Personally I look at having an off switch as a plus, but something I would rarely use. My present all day setup is a yiloong predator mech squonker, on a lanyard; no off switch, but after converting to 20700 operation it's simply been rock solid.
My grey pulse bf has shipped, I'm looking forward to it [emoji5]

Just got my shipping notice from Brads Vapor. My pulse should be here next week.
Same. Received tracking # today.
I ordered mine September 9th and don't expect in a "couple days" but its good to be optomistic
That’s why I don’t bother with pre-orders. Ordered this morning and will have it Tuesday.
I thought with a pre-order I'd get it sooner, this is my first time posting without typing via talking to my phone

I never look at pre-order as faster, but often on a pre-order I can get a better price ( though it can take poking around).
Are the still running the add- pulse-24 special ( nice discount if added to a pulse bf order). For a first order there's also the one time coupon for signing up to their mailings.
