I am not much of a fan for the idea of a LR atty either. But I know that TW sells them and they state that they are only intended to be used with the Tornado, which is their name for the eGo.

As for the switches on the Screwdriver, like I previously stated, they are ony a stainless steel bolt and only costs, actually less than $5.00 which includes the spring and button cap. Even cheaper I suppose if you go to the hardware store.
Also the switch on the Mako, though this is a special designed mechanical switch, I do not see how this could go out, at least for a very long time.

If you have a switch go bad on the Ego battery, then you are out soem $23.00 to replace it, if you can find one in stock somewhere.

At least with a mod like a screwdriver, you can always just run down to the hardware store or order a new battey for less than $5.00 from battery junction.

As for oxidizing/tarnished brass, this is true even with our atomizers. Ever heard of Brasso?
