Are you planning on protecting the switch with a mosfet?

No going to just wing it I know i should but first want to see how it vapes and from there i will think of putting in a mosfet.

Morning @LeakingDeath69 Welcome to the Forum! We have a local group based around PE, Despatch and Uitenhage. We do have a whatsapp group were we announce dates and times for our Monthly vape meets and group buys and so on. If you would like me to add you please feel free to pm me your number and I will add you too it. Its not nearly as big as the main centre meets but its something.

There is no switch locally that will handle the type of amps that a dual 18650 mod does. Unless you're going to vape under 10 amps all the way, you either have to get a mechanical switch or put in a mosfet to protect the switch. A normal momentary switch will not handle the amps and will melt. Not safe.

I strongly suggest you include a resettable fuse and a mosfet. They're a cheap price to pay for peace of mind. A decent mosfet wont give you much voltage drop and you can always wire two in parallel if you so desire in order to reduce this. It will not only protect your box but also your hand and face and dog and most importantly, the reputation of ecigs.

What website or where will i be able to buy a switch and mosfet?

You should also look at resettable fuses

With that setup you can use any switch you want.

Connect your batteries in parallel and use 2 x 15 amp resettable fuses. That will give you play up to 30 amps for very low builds.
