I'm planning on putting a dual 26650 mechanical mod together for myself,
pretty much was going to copy this;

So far on my list of parts I have;

the box - HAMMOND 1590 Series Colour Aluminium 'Stomp Box' Case Enclosure Stompbox | eBay

510 - Fat Daddy Vapes 22mm Spring Loaded 510 Connector

wire - either this http://www.zuue.co.uk/silicone-wire/461-14awg-silicone-wire.html
or - wires.co.uk : Bare Copper Wire

The only thing I'm really stuck on is the switch, I need something that wont melt, but I can't find a switch anywhere that's similar to the one on the brick house mod 'supposedly rated at 202A' are they just talking bullshit and using something like this -

http://www.stealthvape.co.uk/electr...ig-mod-parts-momentary-switches/19mm-VPS-DOME ???

I did ask them but just got this as a response:
'I'm sorry sir i cannot disclose the switch type as it is one of the major parts which allows us to run non moss fetts switches at such high amperages'

Am I missing anything else glaringly obvious? Might get some magnets too but can get them at same place as the 510.

Cheers for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I gave up chasing around for high current capable switches and simply added a high power rated mosfet (@Seedy has some 110A) that are brilliant. They are simple to wire in the boxes and allow you to use literally any switch, from micro switch to vandal proof. If you need the wiring diagram for mosfet, I think that's also on modmaker.co.uk, but if not I'll post it up in the morning as I have it on my PC.

Cheers for the headsup will look into them if need be but does it even need to be such a high rated switch? I was going to wire the batteries in parallel, and not go below the maximum continous discharge rating of the batteries- so probably 32A at the most if I can find some of those 32A Efests?

If you wire them in parallel you can draw 64amps from those batteries. Get some fuses (you need one fuse per battery, 32/2 is 16 so 2x 16amp fuses), use a mofset and you have pretty safe mod.

I found a 25A rated switch on a car parts site, bought 1 and it's fucking huge. :(

Oh yeah forgot that batteries in parallel adds their output current together as well as their capacity, was too busy remembering that in series the Voltage adds up but not the capacity lol
yea does look like i'll have to go down the mosfet route then, damn i wish that company would spill the beans, all i could get out of them/ from their fb page is that the switch has 'all copper internals and sliver plated contacts' i wonder if they are in house modifying a standard vandal proof type switch.
Hadn't really planned on the mosfet and fuses, will do some research on both but could you give me 'in a nutshell' version of why i need fuses that are half the capacity of each battery's MCD current? as in why 16? wouldn't a 16amp fuse blow at 16amp draw?
 
Had a thought just as I was falling asleep so go easy on me if it's daft -

Are we just seriously overthinking the high amp switch - what about going KISS and oldskool, and modifying a switch into a proper 'mechanical' switch, ie attach a length of pure copper wire the same gauge as the rest, breaking up some silverplated 510 and getting the disk sections from them and making contact points on the leads and the wire section, so you'd need 4 contacts, and literally just setting it so when you press the button it completes the circuit... and isolating the rest of the switch from the current.

I'll go and draw a picture lol
 
Mosfets easier:D
