1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    I have a sx350 box that I got from a US DIYer a few months ago. I think the switch has gone bad. It was getting dodgy and reached the point that I always had to press directly on the center of the button etc--I took the back panel to have a look and poked a around a bit and now it wont even start up--i'm fairly confident that the chip is ok. I have a spare switch--its a fastech cheapy identical to what is in there. I need to find someone who can swap out the switches for me--its really tight in there and I don't have the tools, time or patience to do it myself. Looks fairly simple but it also appears that the modder glued the switch to the case--on the external side. sx350.jpg

    Anyone know where I could take this? Would be nice to have a regular place to get these kind of things done... Swapping out VS batteries etc.... Or a suggestion on how to dissolve the glue that holds the switch in place--if I could loosen it I might be able to do it myself. Thanks
    Would also consider swapping the chip out to another case as the HANA case is kind of out of date these days.

    What about popping into e-cig healthy's shop and asking them? They had some custom built mods available some time back and may be able to do it or point you in the right direction.
