Does anyone here know of a mechanical mod with a clicky-type switch? I would prefer one with no logos on it.

Hi Sta,
Vape mods have no clicky on off switches for safety reasons. They will all have momentary side or bottom fire buttons.

Apologies for the double post, but I wanted to ask whether variable voltage is useful for a laser. Am I correct in assuming that variable wattage is redundant with lasers? And is variable voltage worthwhile for adjustable power? If so, could you recommend a good variable voltage mod? Thanks.

It depends on the driver that the diode is being run off of; if it's linear (as are most laser drivers) the current will remain constant with varying voltage. Voltage doesn't play much of a roll in the driver besides what it's rated at and for when calculating power.

As for your mech mod I've invited you to the group of laser mech mods, theres a lot of sources where you can look at to help you build a laser into basically any vape mod.

The Atmizoo Dingo has a side button that twists to safety lock. Might be better for you as a compromise since the bottom button isn't ideal, sigeli also do clones of it I think.

Hi Sta,
I just received my Aspire CF Mod and it sweet great deal for around $20.00 buck and ships from within the USA. it's rated for 30A's runs off a single 18650 cell. Side fire lite up button . press it 5 times within 2 seconds to power on and the same to power off. Bro you gotta get this one , no worries let me tell you. add a DTR 510 traded module with a nice diode and bam instant enjoyment buddy..

I just got mine too! This thing looks like it should work really well for a build that can only use a single 18650.

Nice! I'm still thinking 405 for mine.
Make sure to post pics of yours when you're done!

Also 100 posts! Woohoo! (I'm such a noob...)

Hi Chris,
will do as always it's good to show how a build is done What the driver is set to type of lens,diode used . All these things provide a member with some kind of guidelines to follow.

Oh and Happy 100th....
Rich:)
