Oh, I certainly understand that. I don't mind tinkering, but only if it's the sort of thing I only have to do once, or at least very infrequently, so modding these Fluxomizers wasn't a big deal for me, and I found them easy work with. But when you start getting into situations where this has to be placed just right before it'll work or won't flood, or where you have to spend more time than you should fussing over a fiddly little bit (like threading the wick) I kind of lose interest. The Fluxes may need some attention out of the box, which they shouldn't, but once modded they're easy to deal with, and that suits my lazy azz just fine.
