it is a 4 post reg, the numbers refer to the posts (i use a pcb). 1= in, 2 = out, 3 = ground, 4 = control.
sw1 is your momentary switch
master is your master switch (on/off)
the 470 ohm is a resistor

Like Marc said, remove the wire coming off the neg of the right battery, to the regulator. You have both sides of the battery strapped = fire / meltdown on wiring. You should consider a master on/off switch, or at least put the switch before the regulator. Make sure you put the + side off the battery, to the input on the regulator, and the output of the regulator to the atty.
Good luck, you can do it.

Try it like this. I personally would put the switch before the regulator. No real reason other than power not being applied to the regulator constantly. Make sure your switch can handle around 3 amps if it doesn't it most likely will go out on you. You could also use the controlled regulator in ejoker's post and the switch rating won't matter.

OK, so I've seen this diagram countless times, AND I have also seen listed the "10 uf 16v Multi layer capacitor." I am no electrical engineer, so what does this part do? I know it says it smooths out the voltage, but what does that mean in terms of vapingso that I can determine if it might be something to include in a mod?
Secondly, if that capacitor is recommended, where would it go in the diagram? I am slowly learning to read these diagrams, and translate them to how the mod would actually go together, but I want to be 100%, before I go all-in, buy a soldering iron and start working on one myself.
It's an optional part that cleans any spikes or ripple generated by the regulator, it'll work fine without it but is recommended by the manufacturer.

Thanks for the answer 
Second half of the question - Where would it go, in the wiring diagram?

Thanks for all the help. Few more questions.
Do I have to ad the 470 resistor and if so where would it go?
Joker - I dont see the any input from the battery to the regulator. Dont I need an input from the +. A ground. and the output to the atty??

The positive runs from battery, to switch, then to regulator. I generally run power to switch first to prevent having voltage applied to the regulator constantly. Not really sure how much it matters but it makes me feel more comfortable.
The switch is actually the button to activate the atty assuming I dont have an on off witch. I guess Im still a little confused. On my diagram that you edited there is nothing for the regulator to regulate. positive goes to the button. Ground goes to the ground on the atty. The output goes to the - on the button. I guess I dont see any power actually coming from the input on the + of the battery.
Also do I need to have that 470 resistor??
Joker could you please edit my picture again. Thanks alot

The output of the battery goes to the switch, output of switch goes to the regulator. Once the switch is depressed, the output of the battery energizes the regulator. Once the regulator is energized with the 6 or more volts, it outputs the regulated 5volts that goes to the atty. The negative side of the battery is connected to the ground pin of the regulator and outer housing of the battery connector. Here's a diagram I created.
I believe the resistor you are referring to is for LED, if you don't include a LED then you don't need any resistor.

I am still just learning, so someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the LED should go in between the 3rd and 4th pins, with the 470 ohm resistor.
