Thumb or Finger

[Grimwald]

I have noticed that there is not a consistent placement of which side the button is on box mods. Even the same company puts the button on different sides on different models. For instance, Joyetech puts the button on the same side as the atomizer on the evic VTC mini, but on the other side on the grip. Eleaf switches it on the istick 30w and the istick basic. No rhyme or reason. Coolfire--opposite the tank. Subbox---same side as the tank.

I'm not saying that this is even something I consider when buying a mod, but it is something I notice when using it. That makes me curious what others think.

So I prefer that the tank is on the same side as the button and I prefer to use my thumb. What say you?

I always fire with my index finger, and don't care where the atty is

Now that I've had a few, it could go either way. :wink:

Thumb with atty on the button side. The atty placement is not a deal breaker but, if the shape makes it awkward to thumb fire that is.

Actually, I`m most apt to use my ring or middle finger. :?)

On tube mods, the tank/topper is on top above the battery; it always concerns me that liquid could seep down through the 510 connection and get in to the battery; that issue occurs with the common ego stick type batteries where liquid can get down into the electronics; my one incident with a lithium battery venting was a case like that of an ego battery.

So I like when the tank/topper is not vertically above the battery;
On the evic vtc mini that I have the tank/topper is not vertically above the battery.
But then, it is right over the switch; now I don't know the insides, but it does concern me that the liquid will probably be able to get down into the electronics.

They even have these (imo) ridiculous air channels designed on the 510 connector to enable use of the older type tanks like the protank, but that's a place where leaks coming down the outside of a tank or dripper can end up getting into the 510 threadwell.


as for which finger I use: normally I use my left hand and press with my thumb.
But if I am driving I use my right hand, but then I turn it the other way around so that the airhole points more upwards, in which case I use my finger.
If I change to a different topper, I might end up having to reverse that; it's a decision based on where my airhole ends up when I screw on the topper.

Same side as the button and I use my thumb.

 

[rhelton]

Thumb and atty away from me.

Is the thumb not a finger? Are we discriminating against that poor opposable digit homo sapiens possesses??

Thumb or index finger for me, with no proclivity for tank-to-mod orientation.

 

[Captain Pegleg]

When in doubt, pinky out!

Actually I have no rhyme or reason either. I even switch from thumb to index finger from one puff to the next, and if my hand fits the mod right, I like to push the button with my hand between the index finger and thumb I used to rock a mini ego at work so holding it in my palm (hiding it) and just squeezing it became habit. I pushed the button with whatever part of my hand was on it. *squeeze squeeze*

I apologize to any digits that may have been offended by my previous statements.

It was strange when every mod I have used always had tank above fire button, then used cuboid and it was the opposite. Especially when VTC Mini has it above fire button.

This orientation argument, I have found, is directly tied to whether one is owned by felinious horriblus - aka the domestic cat..

I saw on the Simpsons that Child Services can write you up for "failure to mount toilet paper in the proper overhang fashion" hahaha

Thumb....99% of the time.
I most prefer the button on the thin side of the "box", too.

No huge preference on the atty placement, though "on top" works well. Though rare in box mods, centered is quite nice and super comfy, for me.

Now, if I start liking side by sides, it all may change.

It's all about the reach, especially while .......

We fly in the face of danger.
We have cats.
And (now grown) children.
We use the "proper overhang" method...when the roll actually makes it onto the holder. Most of the time, it's sitting on the counter.
I should own stock in a TP company at the rate we go through it in our household.

With mine the tank is opposite the button but for the button it depends on which hand my MOD is in at the time I vape. Now I will be trying to watch and make note of what I do most with my predominant hand my right. Left is always my thumb though.

Interesting question sort of a brain teaser..........

I think they're both good...bad is when there's no paper at all ...as for buttons I use my thumb except when driving when I switch between my thumb and middle finger (out the window)
