Got the #8 all spiffied up. Can't wait for the #20 to arrive..
That looks gorgeous!! I need one...NOW!
Its not actually mine, its someone else's from another forum I am a member of. Here is the speel though.....
Noooo! Not "engraving"! ETCHING!
Here is a commercial product but there are other videos of guys doing this with salt water and a nine volt battery and using fingernail polish to mask off the metal, etc.
Knife Marking - Mark or Etch Knives In Seconds With Etch-O-M - YouTube
Not 100% certain here: I dont believe Exhale ever stated that the switch was mechanical or magnetic. They offered it for pre-order with out a description. Due to a situation with Sigelie on this model (specific reason unknown), my understanding is that Exhale has offered to refund customers or wait and take delivery of what ever they send to Exhale in about two weeks.
This is true, Abe never put that it was a magnetic button on his site. I don't blame any vendors. I am blaming Sigelei but like I said, I think it was just lost in translation. I am still getting it no matter what. It looks like a solid mod for the money.
Arent they neodymium magnets?
I googled it and neodymium are rare earth magnets. My bad
I dont know much about this stuff yet but, couldnt you make it into a magnetic switch by taking out spring and putting a magnet with matching polarity? Just like in the video but have it so the poles are facing each other and are pushing each other rather than pulling. As far as I know thats how the magnetic switches work. I'm sure there is more to it than that though.

They have a nickel or chrome plating and the plating is conductive. They work great in the normal ranges, but I've never tried or tested them at high current.
Thanks to this thread I have determined I have a #13a wearing my Igo-L, and a NON-MAGNETIC switch #19 on the way. I'm not at all too miffed about it, because I really wanted it for the bottom button and the sleek look.
The flat top from my current #13 might just end up on the #19 ... Why do they even make beveled tops anymore?
Now I just have to decide what rba to buy for the #19. AGI? Phoenix v4? RSST? I have a couple weeks before it gets here anyway.

i just ordered some of these 510 Threaded Connector Insulators - Avid Vaper i hope i'll be able to thread the 8-32 knurled brass screws into this... let ya'll know when i get em.
To me it looks like the button on the sigelei website looks different from the one in the video posted earlier. Although that could just be wishful thinking on my part. Still have my fingers crossed for no spring. :/
I also have a #19 on the way...where to go to get a good assortment of these...at the price they are hard to beat I would like to get a 13a and a 20
