Thanks for sharing the post AJ, and the thread. This just makes me that much more excited! I cant wait for the Strata to go on pre order given I'll be first in line with everyone else!

Nah, they quit making them and have yet to be persuaded to start again.
If your trying to find the line, just look for Snork.... He is already camping out.
I will have extra switches, they are only a couple dollars and all that needs to be replaced should they fail.
On the 26500 battery, i have found another source for them, they are not AW but they test just as well. I have more coming in in a week.
Full View:
Lower body vent detail. 4 equally spaced vents:
Top Cap lower end view.
Shows the spring loaded plunger which makes for no exposed springs to lose and exerts constant pressure on the battery for reliable electrical connection. Note, all pieces of the spring loaded plunger will be Rhodium plated in the production version. A total of 5 parts of the Shockwave are Rhodium Plated
Also note the "D" shaped machining (not round) to securely hold and align the switch pod:
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:
Top Cap Juice Well View. Production versions will have Rhodium plated Center Post.
Will accept the universal fit Strata rebuildable as well as most all others tanks/rebuildables.
Note machined relief and indexed air flow channels for problem tanks/rebuildables:
Top Cap inside view, switch pod removed.
Gun Drilled for maximum weight savings which can allow the Stainless Steel Shockwave to weigh less then an Aluminum 26650 mod:
Bottom Master On/Off:

You just keep on pushing me David! It would be awesome to see a pic with an P+350 or any of your other mods, or even a bic lighter or a dollar bill, you get the point 
Hehe. No wonder the machine shop wasn't having it I really like the way you make your top caps Dave, one of the main things that draws me to precise is the top cap design and look it has, I pay attention to the smallest most insignifficant things when it comes to devices haha
Have any exact dimensions been mentioned yet, I will go back through to see if I can find if David has posted them, I remember that it is close to a silver bullet but wanna know exactly.
Due to the strength of stainless steel, we are able to run much thinner wall thicknesses without sacrificing strength, which allows the Shockwave to measure up to 6MM thinner and weigh less then an aluminum 26650 mod would!
Dimensions: 4.5 x 1.1 inches or 114 x 28mm
Weight: 5.0 Ounces without battery.

Slot save weight!
That weight measurement is of the unslotted. Slotted would weigh even less, probably around 4.5 ounces.
