My pinky will soon be bigger than my thumb with the amount that I vape, has anyone done anything with lessening the tension on the switch spring?

i don't have one but i know how to fix it. take the switch apart, take the spring, cut one full loop off of it, stretch it out a little and you hvae a much easier throw.
Bored today tried this all solid brass screws from my computer for negative connections lol and it worked! Here's the picture... shown only two screws but I put three...last picture is the inside connection...

Damn!
I have a .... load of those, gonna give it a go right away
Wouldn't have ever thought about using those M/B standoff screws
E: Gave it a go and great. Button is much shorter action now. But the screw on battery side is too short, AW IMR 18650 or 18350, Efest 18350, Samsung 18650 INR, Panasonic NCR18650PD all rattle. I'll go back to my screw can and try and see if I find something more suitable.

Clever idea.
Try grinding down a few of them to get the length you need when they're screw together.

I finally got that dang nut off so I could get the switch out and replace/tweak the spring. Gotta get some small needle nose pliers and make little unscrew motions 'til it loosens up and you can use your fingers finally. Gonna replace this stupid nut in there too so if ever need to re-do this it will be much easier.

This is my first mechanical mod, I used sandpaper and whetstones to expose brass at all of the contacts, and did the same to minimize the top gap. I have a Terminator-C clocking in at 1.6 ohms and a pair of freshly charged AW IMR 18650 2000mAh batteries.
My question: Should there be a one to three second delay between pressing the button and hearing the "snap-crackle-pop" of the coil? is this normal on a mechanical mod? This is driving me crazy!

Yes. Typically mechanical mods are used with attys that have a lower resistance than 1.6. With such a "high" resistance, it will take longer for the coils to heat up. Drop your ohms and you'll get vapor more quickly.
Thanks, Mitey F, that was what I was afraid of. I appreciate your quick response! 
When you use it on a mechanical mod and can only achieve 8.5 to 10 watts and have a desire for more.What???
When did 1.6 ohms become High Resistance???
Let me put that in another way, of the ohm range of this mod 1.6 is on the upper end

So to the folks making improvements in the electrical connection dept., just how much do you feel in being gained?
Have you guys seen the review by Todd on youtube (I would post a link but my IT skills suck)
All the pros out there may not get much from it, but as a newb I found it really helpful to see just what you need to do to improve the button and raised connector.

I am using a 2.5 ohm atty on mine with a 18350...getting plenty of vapor. Even IMR batteries can have issues with very low resistance devices...can kill a battery easily. You can only pull power out so fast before the battery can't cope. There is a reason you can't buy a pre made .9 ohm carto...no one wants to be liable.
I think someone said at least a few tenths of a decrease in drop. I can't say for sure because my DMM batt was on the fritz before I started stripping, once I replaced it I was still getting a 0.3v drop but had not fully stripped the negative post where it screws together. I need to try it again now that I have.
My biggest concern is the switch spring tension but I might as well do it all while I'm in there
I clipped a coil off mine and stretched it and the tension is perfect, IMO. Just be careful messing with that little spring. I was squishing it between my thumb and forefinger, testing it, and ZING! Off it went. Luckily, it didn't fly too far lol.
