Switches

[VpnDrgn]

Anyone know where to find a flush switch like they use on the Silver Bullet?
Or, even better would be the flat switch with the blue LED ring, can't
remember which mod I seen that on.

I have done several searches and the only ones I have found so far are huge.
Thought I found one on amazon, but fortunately someone posted a review
before I bought it. They stated that the one they received was much longer
than the one in picture.

Here you go

PV6 anti-vandal switch | illuminated anti-vandal | water resistant anti-vandal | www.e-switch.com

Thanks Java,
I had checked out e-switch before, but I think it was a different series. These switches are only rated 2amps and the
illumination is 20mA @ 2.8V's, would this work? Would I have to put a big resistor on the lead for the LED?

I did just notice there is a sample request form, hmmm.

I think you would have to put a resistor for the LED. They should be pre-wired with an internal resistor though, but not for that much amperage I believe.

Would like to find a smaller switch, this one says it requires a little over 5/8" hole. I've been looking to find a flush switch that will fit perpendicular to a 9/16" ID hole.

Having trouble visualizing what you mean by perpendicular.
madvapes horn button takes 3/4" hole so that's not a problem.

led needs to have a resistor on it so it dont fry itself. A small 1/8 of a watt resistor should work fine. The 2 amp rating is for 48 volts. 2 amps @ 5 volts has alot less watts. 2 amps @ 48 volts = 96 watts 2 amps @ 5 volts = 10 watts. You have to take in to consideration the voltage with the amp rating. 96 watts @5 volts = 19.2 amps. So at vaping voltages that switch should handle anything you can throw at it.

Some of the mods that I have made are tube style using 2 14500s, with the mod measuring around .575" ID and the OD is at 3/4" at the switch area. Space is limited.

Thanks Java,
That takes care of the switch, now if I could just figure out how to route out grooves in a flat bar of aluminum
I'd be all set for my next mod. Any ideas?

I'm not sure, but I think you're gonna half to think about going with micro-switch and mosfet.

Panel Mount Switch with Green LED

This switch is the one I use now, just wouldn't mind getting one that's flush.

You're probably right, will have to make up something to mount in to in the tube.
