Since I'm in the same un-regulated boat as you Quigs I fully understand how you feel. But you said it in your last sentence, it's all about making stuff and getting the satisfaction that you made that thing you're vaping. At least for me personally it's not primarily about improving my vape, it's more about making something just the way I like it.
Of course you can get just so much of what you like until you get bored and feel the need to try something else too.
Every time I made a dna mod I probably swore I'll never do one again, but I will. In fact I'll probably try other boards as well at some point.
Fair enough, I get what you're saying but I'm not so sure I will...I think there's plenty of crazy things one can do to mix it up and not get bored, my copper/brass skeleton mod was a stretch even for me but it was a blast making it...not for everyone, but at least it's an example a full scratch built mod where I made everything, if it turned out awesome, I made that, if it turned out to be a piece of crap, I own it...but it won't be crap because of some random reg. fail that I have no control over and designed an entire mod around
Ya, think I'll build my last DNA's into something, they're popular so maybe it could be an opportunity to fund my next tool toy then I'm done...I'll stick to my luddite mods and live my life of mediocrity, suffering in silence laugh an inconsistent vape
