A personal vaporizer mod device includes a switch having a switch button member that carries a first magnet of first polarity. A switch insulator is secured within a switch body and has a central orifice and an internal counterbore section, which receives a switch firing pin and a second magnet having a polarity opposite the first magnet. The switch button member is repelled such that no contact exists between the switch firing pin and switch button member, but when depressed, the switch button member establishes electrical contact and current flows via a battery received within a mod housing to coils of the mod device.
