Yup, and mine had that original button when I bought it. They replaced it (free of charge) with the updated switch that didn't hurt my thumb/finger quite so much.
Does anyone use an e-pipe that looks like a traditional pipe?

Classy collection Sludge!
Ive got 2 Hammers myself, one modded for battery inline with atty and the other in original state.

I really like mine, so had to replace the stolen one. Just as long as I remember the tip is metal when I haven't used it for a while. Man that thing gets cold at this time of year!
Good news on the TECC ePipe II front, their BDC 1.8Ω attys fit & work quite well. They don't kick out masses of vapour, but the taste & hit are good
Now if only I could remember where I put my spare tanks

I got sent a lovely photo of me & one of my e-pipes (Balthazar) by the groom of a wedding I was DJing at a few weeks back

Nice pipe too
I have in the past, although I no longer really do. My avatar pictures a couple of the several e-pipe mods I have acquired and used to use. I actually came to vaping from being a longtime pipe smoker--I've never really been a cigarette smoker--and I do still smoke a real pipe. I never intended to actually quit pipe smoking; I got into vaping to (1) reduce the amount of my smoking and (2) deal with situations where I can't (e.g. hotel rooms) or choose (e.g., my car) not to smoke. So I do still smoke a real pipe daily, but much less than before vaping.
So when I first started vaping (which happened twice, actually) my whole idea was to emulate the pipe-smoking experience as much as possible, so I gravitated to e-pipe devices. First, in 2007, when vaping was pretty new, I tried an e-pipe from the original Chinese e-cig company Ruyan, which looked like a traditional pipe. Long story short, it worked well at first but failed after a few months of use, and I gave up on vaping at the time. In 2012, I got back into vaping--noticing that the technology had improved and it was catching on as "a thing"--and I acquired pipe-style mods from three different individual craftsman-type sellers. These were all very nice and satisfying at first. But after a while I had reliability issues with some of the mods, and frustrations with things that just come with the form factor like small/short-life batteries and limitations on what kind of atty could be used, etc. Plus one of my main reasons for trying pipe mods was hoping to find one that I could clench in my teeth and have both hands free, as I am used to doing with a real pipe--I learned that none of them would really work for that because the battery would always make it too heavy. So that was not a reason to stick with the form factor.
So I moved on and became comfortable with an 18650 tube-style form factor for mods, and soon developed a preference for tube mechs. I'm still pretty much a traditionalist, so I like to think of tube-style as something like a cigar. (Not sure I could ever get comfortable vaping off of a box!) And I have come to appreciate a nicely made authentic mech tube mod as a craft piece similar to a nicely crafted pipe. So these days I stick with the tube mech mod form factor for my vaping and the traditional pipe for my smoking.
I do, however, also still stick almost exclusively with tobacco-flavored juices and gravitate toward ones that taste to me like traditional pipe tobacco.
