Pushbutton radio shack??!!

[qdaddy96]

Ive been thinkin about makeing a mech mod but think i might start off with a box mod seems a tad bit easy- er i live right by a radio shack so what would be the cheapest pushbutton that would work for a 18350 battery!

What kind of mod are you wanting to build? Switch connector wire...
google ohms law calculator plug in your coil resistance voltage and get the current you will draw then find a switch that can handel the load.
should be right on the package.

Radio shack has this as best to offer at a quick glance.

Red Button SPST Pushbutton Switch : Pushbutton Switches | RadioShack.com

I have used this in the past with some success how ever, this would not be idea for sub-ohms.

I'm gonna try some quick math to see what would be the lowest ohms you can go, I'm not sure if this is a correct way of doing this

Consider a fully charged battery at 4.2 volts, the maximum power then with consideration of the max current draw of the switch is 3A.

4.2V times 3A = 12.6 Watts. This would mean using ohm's law I*R=V solving for R, 4.2v/3A= 1.4 ohms is the lowest you can use that won't damage the switch.
