ok here is the assembly the 'caps' are something i put together by knocking the EXPENDED primers out and boring the holes larger then i soldered the nut from the switch to the inside of one (groovey) and tap fit the atty connector to the other the connector is a madvapes job sealed of course the wire from + atty to switch is approx 16awg to 18awg then I fabbed up the + connectors from some junk plastic spacers and some copper sheet i had soldered + to + to other side of switch with the same wire..hot glued to end caps and done! then I soldered the tubes together after making a slot for wires to run from cap to cap viola! body is born then i slotted the bottom caps and sacrificed some old springs and thus the ground side of the circuit is born (continuity check on both + and - then put on tankomiser sizzelsizzel vape vape yay me drank a cold stout celebrated then polished!! here are some pix enjoy i did and am!
