Nic - Did you ever make a mod using a ribbon switch? You've piqued my curiosity!

They are not rated high enough on amps max is 1.0 amp. so it couldn't be used as a direct switch. I guess if you wanted to go to the trouble some sort of PCB board that acts as a switch going on the first switch, rated at higher amps could be used. Rated at 1 amp it wont last long on a mod. 5 volt mod would fry it quick your looking at close to 2 amps if not more with a regular atomizer @ 5 volts.

Wow...you have been digging in the back yard havent you?

No...it ended up in the bottom of my huge pile of round tuits like everything else. I think I have ADD...every time I see something new and shiny I'm off again!

I went by way of touch switches and mosfets for most of my mods. Plus...like Java says...1 amp so you would need to do a mosfet setup.

If you decide to give it a try let us know!
