Who cares wires or no wires, as long as it works perfect, I am sure David knows how to take care of that.

They aren't even all that intricate. That's why it surprised me when I heard that there was going to be some soldering required. I was absolutely certain that this was to be a 100% mechanical mod. 100% excludes any kind of soldering. I'm not really doubting David's design, but I'm quite sure the switch could be made without soldering, as you rightly pointed out.
If it is the mechanical switch that is in question, it does say that it is user-replaceable so even on the off-chance that something does go bad with it, you don't need to send it back (I hope). And no, you can't have my Shockwave 
But I admire your humanitarian spirit and the sacrifices you are willing to make

This has never been touted as a completely mechanical mod, I guess being that David has only made mechanical mods, people would assume that it is but from the get go the info has been there stating that this will have a mechanical snap action switch that is rated for some crazy amount of clicks like 10000000 or something. The most important thing about it to me is that the design is setup to make it very easy for the owner to replace the switch him or herself.

I believe it was originally an all mechanical switch...proved to be too difficult and too many parts so the design was changed. At least, that is sort of what I remember reading somewhere.
I think we will have to wait for a response from David but I am pretty sure that it was always gonna use this switch or similar.
The more I think about it, I think the confusion might be because the switch is a "mechanical" snap action switch. Maybe since it has the word mechanical in it some people may have had that stick in there head. I have been wrong before but I have been following the SW since David made his first posts about it and I never remember it being a mechanical switch in the way that we are talking about it.
No matter either way, the switch is good for a whole ton of clicks and is user serviceable so I am good.

I really hope so Ata, dropped my mechanical mod into the toilet during a Zoo visit a few days ago. Was pretty gross getting it out but all I had to do after was to take it apart , rinse it with soap and everything was A OK. As long as the SW can handle this without getting damaged I will be happy.

The ShockWaveTM 26650 Personal Vaporizer by Super-T Manufacturing!
Features/Specs:
-User replaceable mechanical snap action switch rated at 10 amps and an unreal 10,000,000 cycles! Provides an excellent tactile feel and hits everytime without the need for cleaning!
Removable Switch Pod. Contains the user replaceable Snap action mechanical switch, a high amperage version (10amp) of the same switch used in many mouses due to their extreme durability and life and also houses the Spring Loaded Plunger:
The Shockwave has never been an all mechanical switch. It utilizes what is called a mechanical snap action swith, with a 10amp rating. (you can just see it in the back of the above pic) It is a high amp version of the switch commonly found in many computer mouses. They are very reliable and have very high cycle times. I guess you could call it a "hybrid" mechanical switch

Yikes8-o...
So if I dropped it in water on accident would the switch be most likely damaged?The Shockwave has never been an all mechanical switch.

And Kami, thankfuly the toilet was clean but it was still rather unplesant

It all depends on which part is soldered to which. If it's contained in the switch then it's a simple action of just replacing the switch by yourself (I assume super-t will have them in stock in the future). If the mechanical snap action switch itself is soldered to sth else (like a wire), then it isn't as easily replaceable, but still is. And, to finally get to the answer to your question, whether it'd break depends on the thickness of the wire that is soldered to sth as well as the thoroughness of the soldering process. David can definitely reply to this one better

It would most likely be just fine. Dry it out and vape away. There are no electronics in the SW to fry.
Also, the wires wouldn't break from dropping or use, they don't move in there. Soldered wires usually onl break when the wires and solder joints have movement, which there is no movement in the SW's switch design.

Thank you David. You've rid me of all worries. I know this very well from breaking 4 eGo batteries (of which I dropped only one) in 4 months. If there is no electronic parts and if there is no movement, there's no problem
