Where to Buy Just the Switch for a Mech Mod?

[Vaya]

Hey,

I hope this is the right place for this!

i recently took my Panzer outta my pocket after walking with it for 20 minutes. It took a moment to realize that the whole switch had become disassembled and the brass button itself - the piece with the gas mask on it - was just straight up not in my pocket or anywhere.

this sucks for two reasons: I need a new button, but can't seem to find anywhere that sells just the button, let alone even just the switch. It seems like I'd have to buy a new mod or clone to get the replacement. Second, one of the two magnets I bought for the switch upgrade is provably still clinging to the button, wherever it is, meaning I've got to buy a whole new set :/

ive come to peace over the magnet, but it doesn't seem right that I shouldn't be able to buy a singular Panzer switch any where. Does any one have any suggestions?

thank you in advance!!

You can get clone, my Private was actually 1:1 with HCigar clone....but right now, the clone price for Panzer in states is 60 and Fasttech is around 31 shipped...you can probably go their forums and ask them if it's 1:1

Sorry about your lost...you can try their Facebook page also and contact them directly to see if they will drop you one..I know a while back RJ Mods was doing this for their Turtleship v1 customers..

That's a good idea... By company, Im assuming you mean MCV and not Fasttech lol... God this just SUCKS! To gave like 98% of the mod! yet not be able to use it... Yikes.

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll hit up their Facebook page now!

What are Panzer Mangers?

Don't think the fasttech panzer switch is 1:1. I can post pics and specs of it if you want.

I got confirmation from the Fasttech forum that it is not 1:1; MCV replied to me asking for a picture of the unit, which I supplied in response; however, I don't think obtaining a switch (or even the brass button alone) from them would be of any use, now.

I'm really thinking that my only option, now, is to buy a whole new a Panzer... Unless some sainted individual out there can provide a better alternative. I'm just devastated

Thanks to every one who has helped me so far with the question, though. Can't thank you all enough...

Got a reply from THE MAN over at FatDaddyVapes, for any one who's interested!

About the Panzer - not true. You can use Sentinel screw with an 18mm
copper washer and brass tubes. You just shave the switch so it looks
custom. Send it to me. I'll make you one.

Thought some would get a kick out of this... Received my Panzer switch back from Fat Daddy aka Dennis! He soldered a new Captain America penny to a blank Sentinel switch, then sanded it down to recreate the perfect custom Panzer switch.

My infinite love to Dennis; works like an absolute charm!!

Holy crap that looks nice! I like that better than my sikastits switch. How much did he charge for that?

I haven't received a quote yet, my internet was prematurely cut off on the 2nd of June and I only got back to him with my satisfaction yesterday (it arrived on the 2nd, too)! I feel badly about that, but it was an honest roadblock. Per his request, I sent him some local sweets ($15 in exitic flavored dark chocolate) to eat while he worked; perhaps that's the cost LOL

I've bought several items from fat daddy's (Dennis) always been helpful, ships and answers emails quickly.

Vaya, just for future reference - I'm not taking a dig at mods from the Philippines, as I own a few myself that I love, but most Pinoy modders have infamously bad customer service, as far as being unavailable, not offering spares, etc. Many people that end up with a messed up Pinoy mod end up out of luck unless you can find an aftermarket part that fits.

Glad fatdaddy helped you out though

This has been my experience, too; MCV was completely unhelpful when contacted via Facebook!
