So your Regulated mod will be an 18650 and not Lipo?... I may have to get in line for one than, investing in another charging system was one factor keeping me from buying one... frying the chip is the other.
As for frying the chip, a replacement SX350J board is only about $70 retail. I may actually buy a spare board or two just to have on hand. They won't be available forever...
With a couple of spare boards, a regulated Tmod should be good to go for a very long time.
