I'm a little bit handy. I could finish a mod if I wanted to. My conclusion is it isn't worth the effort. My favorite mod is the Pico because it's small, runs temp control and costs $24 delivered. Making a better version of that would be challenging. If what you want is a big unregulated brick may be that's not so hard. If I could buy a Pico like device in kit form with everything needed and the work was in hand finishing and a quality build and took a few evenings to finish, well may be but the kit would cost a lot more than $24.
Making your own mod is more of a hobby than a viable option. I have made many of my own mods & they end up costing more than a store bought mod. All thou I have the knowledge that the proper gauge of wire was used & the construction is solid with no corners cut.
A lot of people buy hammond box's & cut their own holes, I think those mods look like bricks & would never make some thing like that.
You can find kits at a lot of sites that save you looking all over for parts & on shipping costs.
I like 3D printed mods, if you surf around at Shapeways there are a lot of nice stylish mod enclosures that can be used to make a mod that looks store bought. With a nice Varathane Finnish they become stain resistant & improve the longevity of the colour.

Like building a PC last Dell I bought cost less than just buying a License for the operating system. While it is something I am more than capable of doing it just isn't cost effective. If I was to win a MOD Kit in a Giveaway you can bet I would build it but not going to go out and buy it to build.
you see im thinking of building something a little unheard of, using quad 18650s in paralell, 4 fuses, a MOSFET, shutoff switch, custom LED, and potentially VW control. altogether i just want to make something very customized to what i want for a mod, which i cant currently find anything similar to on the market. i also build my own coils, so i guess you could say i like the customizability of it all. and personally i think all the components prices together are worth having a vape that is completely custom. ive even thought of making my own custom housing/ body to make it that much better. definitely something fun i would like to try out
Well having something totally unique is definitely a reason for building a MOD and as long as you can build in safeties like some you listed then I would say go for it!
Last summer i built 2 mods (bricks).
Used Alpine tech + enclosures, Highly recommended.
One parallel & one series.
No, not cost effective. Will give insight on how an unregulated works & repairs for other mods.
I thought of it as Super Prepping for the Deeming that hangs over our heads..
